What users are saying

1. It would also be nice to be able to resize the over all output and move its location on the screen to he compatible with random devices.Two stars for a fun idea and making a successful connection, but it just doesn't pass my bluetooth keyboard through and without that it is pointless.

2. Needs work to be useful.I would have given a previous version of this app 5 stars, but the current version has removed the VR version of Google Earth.

3. It may be convenient as a link app, but since it won't transfer to the SD card, it's not worth the space it takes up.This is the best while I can view my video in vr mode and it really feel like I'm inside the cinema.

4. It would be nice to be able to disable movement and manually lock the image in position for YT and compatibility with random AR devices for example.

5. It doesn't access any app except Google Expeditions, also available on the play store.

6. When I scan a QR code for a viewer (even one I meticulously calibrated) it shoves the lens to the right, with the centerline cut through the left lens.

7. My headset does not have the button on the top right where I can click on the screen on my phone.

8. the screen is too small so i have to flip my phone for a better view and even then most of my screen is black.

9. Also, the display for the left eye is larger than that for the right and both are shifted from where they are in the standard cardboard viewer app.

10. If the feature that allows me to hover over the button to select it, that would be more convenient.I have used this app in my school before and it worked well then.

11. Unless you want to play Arctic Journey over and over, just skip this one.It is good for people who use the cardboard br headsets.
