5 ★ One of the best ways to introduce a friend to VR. Just wish I could bookmark one.
1 ★ Doesn't work with pixel 2!
1 ★ Doesn't work with my phone.
5 ★ Great VR app for those with or without a headset. Beautiful blend of drama, art, news, music, documentary. Recommended!
5 ★ Quality 360 videos and VR content.
1 ★ Doesn't let you use cardboard
5 ★ I love the subjects chosen.
5 ★ Good videos and simple vr app
5 ★ Sswe
5 ★ Just amazing
2 ★ Didn't work for me. When I try to play a VR w/ Google cardboard, it starts ok, plays for a couple of seconds, then "buffering" forever. If I try to work around buffering problem by downloading the VR before playing, it won't play at all. A pop-up error message "unable to instantiate decoder" and "check your connection". Problem is NOT my Wi-Fi connection; ookla speed test says 47 Mb download speed
4 ★ Upgrading my Nexus 6p to Oreo fixed the video freezing problem I had with Nougat.
1 ★ Sucks
1 ★ First version worked fine on S5, no download needed. Now with all the updates it hangs up when put in the cardboard viewer. Too bad because the content was super but worthless if you can't watch it.
3 ★ Nice videos but doesn't always have bandwidth to stream and I can only save to SdCard so needless to say I don't have space. The resolution of the videos doesn't seem to be as good as youtube vr so hard to watch for any length of time.
