Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Asteroom at 82% against VR Photo Viewer's 8%. Asteroom also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). VR Photo Viewer's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (134 vs 24). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VR Photo Viewer sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Asteroom sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

VR Photo Viewer holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VR Photo Viewer has 134 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of VR Photo Viewer's written reviews are positive against 82% of Asteroom's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

VR Photo Viewer ships an update every 5 months, Asteroom every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
