Just stop. Y’all don’t know how to make a vr game, quit.

### 1/5 — IOS and V5 viewer does not work at all

*2023-01-25, version 1.1*

Even tho it said my viewer was paired,all I saw was lots of jerky flashy images - I felt like it was going to give me a seizure

### 1/5 — I can’t play it

### 1/5 — Umm no

*2022-08-13, version 1.1*

When I opened the app, it was great at first but when I deleted it and got new apps I guess the app didn’t like me so when I decided to get in again the screen was shaky and I couldn’t  press the continue button and I couldn’t even play the “vr” game, I wouldn’t recommend  this app

### 1/5 — Bugged Out

*2022-01-09, version 1.1*

If I could leave zero stars, I would. I was so excited to download this, because it seemed like a lot of fun. When it finally downloaded, the visuals were completely bugged out, jerking around all over the place, flashing on and off, to the point where I couldn’t make anything out. Total waste of storage space and time.

### 1/5 — What

### 5/5 — ITS FUN A SIMULATION NOT A GAME

*2020-12-27, version 1.1*

great that’s it it’s not a game just kinda fun

### 5/5 — To everybody who hasn’t played yet.

*2020-05-24, version 1.1*

This app is super cool. You first watch a 1 minute video and then you tightrope from 1 tall building to the other. It’s not a game, it’s not an arcade. This is an experience that still makes you feel like your are there. Try it out before you read these reviews, these people don’t know what they’re talking about.

I’ve used this app to show friends how good headset VR can be.
Thanks to the developers.

*2018-06-05, version 1.1*

First of all I love VR videos, and the story this video gives you. Everyone thinks this is crap because it isn’t a game. Well it isn’t!!!
It says entertainment so don’t believe the crap reviews people leave!!! Keep making more😀

### 5/5 — Best VR game I have ever played. Hands down.

Best vr game, or maybe even best game I have ever played. It took my breath away. I will never delete this app.

### 4/5 — Pretty fun

*2016-12-27, version 1.1*

### 4/5 — Don't listen to the haters!

*2016-10-26, version 1.1*

It's a really cool experience!
