It's a nice demo of current AR capabilities, as well as a basic guide for anyone thinking of creating an AR app. Works flawlessly on my Galaxy S21 Ultra. Everything is very smooth with no performance issues, unlike some other comments have mentioned. App might simply require a more powerful device to run well.

Here the ARCore team show again, that nothing changed since Tango. The same ridiculous attitude as before. - doesn't work with all ARCore compatible phones - no source code to be found - nothing to show how to get there with Sceneform. Totally useless. Update: It took 2 months to make this app available for all ARCore compatible devices. Change of 1 number is all it takes to do so, when the app was built cotrectly from the beginning. Content is still lacking.

Love the idea of visual cues for offscreen content. No screen clutter, little tilting when moving objects and other visual cues...all these little things have such a huge impact on the end result. AR takes a lot of UX thought. Love this app. Thank you.

Amazing App. Was looking for similar app since very long time. ARCore Elements includes Plane Finding streamlining the key steps involved in detecting a surface and Object Manipulation using intuitive gestures to rotate, elevate, move, and resize virtual objects.

Great way to demonstrate the best UI/UX practices when designing an AR app. The plane detection may need some more work but it's a great app if you are exploring experience design using Augmented Reality platform.

cant find any surfaces on my note8 ever. no matter how textured the surface is, no matter the lighting conditions. i would hope ARcore works better on Pixels because it's bad here.

Very well made. Give lots of good tips for anyone wanting to understand and/or make a VR experience. It works very well even with one camera

Its like going round and round in circle, hardly once and twice anything popped up. Once the object was our of viewport, everything vanished, back to square one, going round and round again.

Good job. Help me a lot This app shows developers what to do to succeed with their next new AR apps. It's not a working tool for doing anything. Following these directions and instructions I'll do better AR work. Thank you

In 1 out of 10 try it works, and rest of time it can't able to identify floor. And keeps scanning.

On a note 9 it works in incredible. it sticks good to tapestry. This leaves me wanting more on AR visors.

app really doesn't open for s7 edge. i hear a clicking sound at the rear of my phone, I'm guessing it's the camera trying to adjust or something...any solutions or reasons why this is happening?

Ahm. H. Sep 13, 2019     

Works well on my Redmi note 7. Great experience to try. If there were more games with goals it will be amazing. Kudos for the developers. Also please install GOOGLE AR kit work this app.

Very poor app it drain my all battery. I have charged my self phone 87 present and it drained my all battery in 2 hour last I have used it. But it's camera is good it is easy to use and everything is perfect. Ican also give it 5 stars but i have give 3 because it uses a lot of battery

The ARCore experience is really good i love the application but drains alot battery from your phone while using and my phone started heating up

Ath. S. Jul 14, 2020     

The software of the app is not well designed by developer it drains about 570mah from battery. The app consumes lots of hardware and heats up cause in high energy loss of battery make its bug clear

I can't even access the content, I'm stuck at the loading screen even though I already waiting for 30 minutes. BTW My device is Realme 5 pro

Jus. J. Apr 7, 2020     

I almost accidentally installed it... Google is flooding the internet with AR stuff to get people to download this app..almost worked too if I haven't uninstalled it before for being so crappy and battery draining

Bar. R. Sep 11, 2020     

Terrible, this app drains the battery very quickly, I went down 20% in a half an hour.

A. G. u. Mar 28, 2019     

this app is a quick rundown of ARCore by Google capacities and demonstrative. It should clear up the confusion about what ARCore is and does.

Arw. S. Aug 29, 2019     

Excellent demonstration of AR. Hope to see a full feature game and every other app to use AR in the near future. ❤

This is a nice app but the the letters are too small to read. This is the only problem I saw in the app. So please solve this issue.

Bor. N. Jun 20, 2019     

Great UX guideline and AR objects manipulator example. I wish all developers had a source code of this to implement in their AR apps.

Joh. W. Dec 17, 2021     

Crashes when i try to open the app. Support does not answer.

Kal. S. Oct 31, 2019     

Very poor even if I place my phone in flat surface it's just circling no AR fix this.It should be available anywhere in the photo

Great showcase of solid user experiences in AR! Solid building blocks here to help you think about structuring your AR app experience.

"View in my space" still wont work on Samsung Galaxy s7 edge with both this one & google play services ar installed, so don't waste your time...

App is good to use, but my a80 gets heated up fast and battery also even drains faster.
