Great VR app for those with or without a headset. Beautiful blend of drama, art, news, music, documentary. Recommended!
★★★★★
I like this game because its free and it's fun.
★★★★★
Please add the ability to favorite videos. I have downloaded several videos but have no way to easily go back to them, without searching through the whole library. Other than that it's a good app and the videos are really good 👍
★★★★★
I think it is amazing. I've flown through space and ridden a tank through the streets of Falujah, Iraq. I'm looking forward to taking a trip to the Antarctica research area tonight. Wish me luck! I'm using a Motorola Moto z
★★☆☆☆
I installed it and it never worked all it would do is take me to Google I did not mean to go to Google I needed it to work
★★☆☆☆
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.
★★☆☆☆
Locks up "buffering" even when the video has been completely downloaded. Then won't even play cardboard vr versions of video because it can't find some "decoder". This app is very nearly dead on arrival.
