I am only giving it 4 stars as it gets boring over time and there should be a game. ### 1/5 — Zeiss is known for there wipes *2017-10-01, version 1.1* The apps are dated from 2015 and they're wondering why everyone is returning the product. ### 1/5 — Absolute CRAP!!! *2017-04-01, version 1.1* Do not waste your money. Have Apple 6S plus and downloaded the AR app from Zeiss. Black screen and no online support. Absolutely a crappy piece of $&:/ ### 1/5 — Can't select avatar!!! *2017-02-15* How in the world do you select the avatar?!?!?!?!? So frustrated!!! ### 1/5 — Garbage *2017-01-04, version 1.1* Bought this today. Don't waste your money buying this product. Directions say to rotate the cube to select avatar which that doesn't work. The other VR apps look blurry and not as realistic as the oculus. ### 1/5 — Great potential *2016-12-31, version 1.1* Could have been a great device but all I got at first was a black screen. After restarting, I got a flashing screen with the cube and then it shutdown. Very disappointing. I would not recommend this to anyone. ### 1/5 — May slow down iphone *2016-12-27, version 1.1* When I opened it I got a message telling me that it will slow down my phone. I said OK and figured I will delete it if I notice a slow down. Only got a blank screen after that. This is Garbage. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2016-12-26, version 1.1* Video flickers then after about 10 sec crashes and closes. ### 1/5 — Selecting avatar *2016-12-25* HOW IN THE WIDE WORLD DO I SELECT THE AVATAR I HAVE BEEEN TRYING TO SELECT IT FOR AN HOUR!! I HAVE TRIED TO FIND VIDEOS BUT I CANT SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING!! Am I THE ONLY ONE ## Frequently asked questions about VR ONE AR ### What is VR ONE AR?
