The quality of the VR is horrendous. If you simply thought we wouldn't download higher quality videos you were wrong. I'd gladly DL higher quality versions of what seem to be great videos, but I can't tell because that forest below me looks like moldy carpet and the ocean a glob of wet paint. The most disappointing VR experience I have yet encountered.
I don't have a VR viewer yet. But watching the clips in my dark, quiet room was a pretty good indicator of what's in store for me once I get one! We live in amazing times. This is so beautifully done.
When I look at the videos with 360 they look good but when I put the phone in my utopia 360 headset everything is blurry. I think it's from the video still looking good but my headset has lenses that make my normal vision blurry. And you need to make the vr videos blurry to mach
It is okay however it does not put the app in fullscreen and therefore i get the navigation bar on screen too
The video quality could definitely use improve. Think of it this way vr is should look pretty close to reality. I think we all would avoid a pix elated reality
If I'm downloading app,y silly questions Let me find out lol sic 😎
App doesn't work 3d experience is side ways and doesn't detect movement. Try fulldive instead as it works perfectly
Resolution is so poor that you really have to use your imagination to figure out what you're seeing; I can't even read the captions because the video is so blurry.
Video is 90 degrees out. Cannot see left and right eye images. No movement as phone moves. Is special hardware required in phone?
Puts the VR in portrait mode. Completely useless
It's the ultimate reality of unreality.
Video quality is sd. True vr requires depth for it to work. This has none.
Very poor video without full HD!
Thank you for making the purchase of my vr goggles worthwhile.
Google pixel 2 - force closes every time I open it.
Videos are sideways when trying to view them with a VR headset. The videos will not rotate into a landscape mode even when placing the app into google cardboard mode. Might be okay if you don't have or don't want to use a headset.
Blue angels app kept freezing up but all else ok.
This is really cool
It was fantastic 2 seconds before crashing. Uninstall, reinstall etc. Doesn't rectify the problem.
Video resolution is way too low.
Love it !!
The quality of the video is about as bad as I've seen in any of these 360 apps. But even that would be tolerable if the video was displayed correctly for cardboard. Instead my video is not flipped 90 degrees so it's useless.
