I’m using with iPhone 12Pro . First 360 VR I did was a 13 acres of wedding venues, the app and the Pro kit really worked with ease and delivered excellent results.

Customer service also 5 stars! ### 5/5 — Super easy And Super affordable *2022-02-15* Love this app and must use with the VRkit. Rivals the best and highend models. Would prefer to do multiple shots in a room for a more immersive experience but super the way it is. Highly recommended !!! ### 1/5 — Not Good *2021-10-17* Not even CLOSE to a good pano. Stitching is terrible, WAY off. Deleted. **Developer response:** This app needs a fisheye lens. If you test it without such piece of hardware, then you will unsurprisingly get some garbage output. ### 5/5 — Very impressed!! *2021-05-17* Even a child could use this app, it’s that easy. Literally press one button on the middle of the screen and it does the rest. Customer support is unparalleled. I have exchanged several emails and had a response several times on the same day. Can’t recommend this product enough. If you are looking to do 360 panoramas, look no further. Get the product quality and service, without the price. ### 5/5 — Realtor tool *2020-05-20* Great app And toolkits for Realtor Highly recommended.waiting for more features Guys . ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2019-09-06* This app is really good. It’s so easy to use and produces great 360 photos. Their support is top class too. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Excellent!! *2018-03-03* I’ve been using Dermandar apps for the past 6 years, specifically their panorama one which is one of the best and easiest pano apps to use. I’ve also purchased the high res IAP in it which is totally worth it. I was really excited to to see theVRkit app which certainly doesn’t disappoint either. The app is really easy to use and quickly creates cool VR images. Great job by the dev team! I already own a fish eye lens so buying another isn’t feasible for me but I would definitely recommend buying their products. The app supports fish eye lenses of 160° and 180°. The one I have is 170° which doesn’t stitch the images very well, so I hope support for it will come in an update, even as an IAP. This is definitely a company that makes quality apps that are well worth the cost. ### 5/5 — Excellente application! Bravo Dermandar!! *2017-10-16* Excellente application, facile à utiliser et permet de créer instantanement des panoramas sphériques de très haute résolution (8k). Je vous conseille aussi d'acheter le kit pratique qui est disponible sur Amazon. Il comprend un tourniquet avec une lentille fisheye le tout pour le prix abordable de 100$ vu la qualité des panoramas que vous pouvez créer. Le kit n'est pas du tout encombrant bien au contraire, il est trés pratique et facile à transporter. ## Frequently asked questions about theVRkit ### Does theVRkit require a special lens?
