Buggy and hard to navigate and understand. Non intuitive for something so vital to expanding the knowledge of VR. Life cycle cut short too. This should still be supported. It brings people that do not know about modern VR to VR. If it worked correctly and a bluetooth mouse and keyboard were the controllers, this would be the app that kickstarted the VR revolution. Instead it's a reminder of what could have been and leads non VR owners to believe VR is complicated, proprietary and expensive.

I used to be able to select things with the little circle on the screen while using the viewer, now I have to take my phone out of the viewer, select something, put it back on. ABSOLUTE JOKE! GARBAGE! And why do I have to have a cardboard viewer or one with a qr code? Mine doesn't have a qr CODE do I need to spend more money now? Honestly 1 star is too much! You ruined the VR experience!

Without 6dof movement and the use of hands, having to use this app for VR would be horrible. I'm glad I have my Oculus Quest, created via the Android OS as a platform specifically for VR. Do not invest in mobile VR unless you are willing to set the bar for mobile VR, which you haven't. It wouldn't be hard to make a sensor headset that does the controller tracking, with the phone's gyroscope and camera mapping out the virtual environment. AR tracking would be handled by the phone's camera.

Total Junk! This looked like an app made Google, who also made this funky cardboard thing I strapped to my face. Did all the login stuff, opened the cartoon gui, moved my head to select "next", the app kept insisting I push a non-existent button on the edge of my phone. Went through all the settings to find "hands free" mode, no such thing. Even if the button did exist on the side of my phone, why would anyone want to touch at an uncomfortable piece of folded paper on their face?

In general, I like it, but it needs updating. There no way to tell Cardboard Camera to save its photos on an SD card, so if your regular camera uses the card, Google Backup won't save the photos, not will they be uploaded to Google Photos. Also, it no longer responds to magnetic switches in the viewers. Do I have to buy a new viewer now? PIA.

Off center FOV Most VR apps I use are set up right, but this one leaves a good portion of the right part of the screen black, and off centers the visor, so it is off center by a huge margin, and the right lens is cut off by the black bar on the right. Really annoying and makes it unusable, plus the magnetic switch doesn't work here, even though if it should anywhere, that should be here. I've tried another app, where the magnetic switch works, so it is this app's fault, not my magnet's.
