It crashes instantly after I choose to download it. Using iPhone 6s Plus iOS9.2 ### 5/5 — Most immersive VR experience on IOS *2015-11-30* The touch controls are very decent on the demo but if you truly want to immerse yourself, then you must use a VR headset. Closest thing to a Matrix experience in 2015, makes all other VR games and demos in the App Store look like cartoons. ### 5/5 — Outstanding! *2015-11-10* Amazing visuals and spacious atmospheric sounds really help the immersion feel real in this VR experience. Highly recommended! Non VR controls work great too! ## Frequently asked questions about theArchitect. ### What can I do with theArchitect.? theArchitect. allows you to take virtual reality walkthroughs of architectural designs, starting with a penthouse apartment.
