this was an amazing app! but since I updated my phone to a Samsung S25, this app is no longer supported on this new phone. So while you can still view the old pictures you took, you can no longer record new ones. Very disappointing, as this is the only one I know of that also records sound with your 360 pictures. Please put out an update to fix this!!

I'm still waiting for my "Eureka moment"... and waiting and waiting. If you're having trouble falling asleep or you like fidgeting this is for you, but you're still just as far away from viewing VR as you were before downloading it, it's a viewer tool, NOT a viewer inself. The one thing the ad IS is that it is misleading. It does work bare bones though.

Add an option to bind buttons. Instead of tapping the screen, it would be nice to press the volume button, or a button on a headset. I'd also expect a setting to adjust the size of the screens. Small VR sets don't work as well on large phones, and phones with 2:1 screen ratios. Also, you shouldn't be allowed to charge more than $10 for any of the google carboard sets.
