Great imaginative approach to a new, immersive form of media. Embedded political slant is subtle-but-clear; however, the 360-degree videography is extraordinary.

The limitations of VR are frequently invoked -"It's not there yet"- but what it can do right now is not inconsiderable, as can be seen in NYT's work.

It never worked for me. Wouldn't recognize my bluetooth earphones, wouldn't play, wouldn't download.

Is the best app I ever Downloaded.

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 👍

One of the best ways to introduce a friend to VR. Just wish I could bookmark one.
