## What is VR Photos?

VR Photos lets you view your 360 videos and photos using Google Cardboard, without needing to take the phone out of your goggles each time to change the photo or video.  Mobikats have developed a neat way of using your eyes to navigate through your own 360 pictures / video stored on your iPhone. Here is how:

1.	Save your 360 photos from a Ricoh 360 camera, Kodak or other 360 cameras into on your iPhone.

2.	Launch the VR photos app and tap Add to 360 Gallery. Select the 360 photo spheres or 360 videos you wish to view and tap Done.

3.	Place your phone into your headset and focus on the image you wish to view. Once in the 360 image or video, look down to see controls. Focus on Next, Previous or the X exit button for a few seconds to navigate. 

Now you can view your VR photos or video without needing to tap a screen or use Bluetooth remote.

### 5/5 — gave me 69420 seizures

*2023-07-22, version 1.0*

REEEE

### 1/5 — Permanent annoyance

*2020-12-29*

At first it seemed to work well when suddenly the screen starts going all over the place. I even tried deleting and reinstalling the app, but it still does it. I can’t work with the app like this.

### 1/5 — Could not find option to delete uploaded photos

*2019-06-12*

Er......

### 5/5 — Excellent for viewing 360 photos

*2019-04-11, version 1.0*

Viewing 360 photos or videos you’ve taken can be hard as you need to take the phone out of your goggles to go to the next image.  VR photos allows you to go to the next video or picture by staring at a buttons for half a second. It makes browsing and your 360 images easy.

### 1/5 — Not worth your time

*2018-12-26*

Don’t download

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2017-12-06*

This is what I was looking for.  Something to view my photos but control it my moving my head. It just needs multiple galleries and settings to change the time to select.

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2017-08-26, version 1.0*

I like the functionality, no need to take headset off, loads pics from the phone... Only downside is you're able to have only 24 pics in an album at a time.

### 4/5 — nice

*2017-03-30*

works just fine for what i need

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2016-12-09, version 1.0*

A great way to easily view all your photos and videos from within the headset!

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2016-10-31*

It doesn't really work ...
