Relax VR: Rest & Meditation for Android
Since it is very difficult to find really any other options for a VR beach that actually moves, that deserves at least an OK from me. I can't bring myself to say it is better than this since I paid 1.99 for it and the white cursor dot stays on the screen which defeats the whole purpose of it being in VR. I also have trouble with the menu placement, when viewing I like to lay down to relax and it is impossible to access the menu without sitting back up and doing a full head turn. Lastly, most of the scenes look pretty clean and real but the stars move way too fast and the clouds very noticeably only shift back and forth, it is fairly annoying that they arent more fluid with longer loops of play. :( Still considering requesting a refund.
Why in the world they would name two apps the same name is beyond me. This app not compatible with Daydream. Wasted money.
Review pending
My main complaint is you cannot reconfigure the direction you are looking. For instance you sit in your couch in the living room you may be looking at the cliffs instead of the beach. The meditation tutorial however is very effective before bed.
1 star - Relax VR's website has the Google Daydream icon at the bottom of their home page, yet this app is not compatible with Daydream (app is compatible with Cardboard). Their website even links to an article talking about Relax VR being on Daydream, yet it isn't! This is false advertising and this information should be front and center before people purchase.
I like beaches, but it would be cool if y'all added some different views like plains, lakes, mountains, or forests. Just to change it up a bit.
Would be amazing with the sound of waves crashing in as a music option.
Had to buy a separate daydream version.
NOT DAYDREAM COMPATIBLE.
Video quality should have been higher.
Perfect
This is a great wee app that really does help you chill out after a long day at work. A cold beer really adds to the immersion :)
Nice app for relaxation
It did not load any scenes. I'm on Android 6.0
When's the app going to be available for the Samsung vr headset?
Easy navigation, nice selection, ok sounds. Video quality isn't great, rock pools especially! When it gets to the end of the clip the scene blacks out. Natural sounds are also low resolution. To be honest I've heard better on YouTube. But to be fair, this is the best I've been able to find in VR.
The still images are too boring. I wanna see moving clouds, moving birds and sounds, moving waves, etc. A free 360 YouTube relaxation video does it better! Update: there's still nothing moving in the latest app update. I'm actually downgrading my review to 1 star.
Great idea and the visuals are lovely and well chosen. Very low sound quality takes you out of the experience somewhat. And there doesn't seem to be a way to re-center the view? It your head is only slightly tilted back you're just looking at sky..
The scenes are beautiful. In future updates, could you make it possible to control the volumes since with the scene background noise and the music on, it's slightly difficult to hear the meditation guide voice please?
I was worried it would be still photos but the water and waves move on the beach and the music is so ambient that barely notice it. All in all, very well done.
The app is perfectly fine, but doesn't contain enough to justify the price. It needs more. At present, you're better off just browsing YouTube 360.
Wonderful app! It's so peaceful and relaxing! I'd love to see a forest one in the future (maybe a star lit sky and a campfire!) Keep up the great work; I'll be recommending this app to my friends for sure! :)
Easy controls with beautiful scenery. Love the meditation portion. Only wish the scenery is in a higher resolution.
Simple. Works perfectly. Love it. It's crazy how an app in a phone housed in some cardboard with lenses can make you feel relaxed.
The best VR relaxation app I've seen so far. Beautiful design and images.
Immersion, peaceful experience. Looking forward to more scenes.
Loved it
When I start the app my pixel clock specifically says NOT COMPATIBLE with DAYDREAM headsets. False description. Tried to turn off NFC too and use it as a cardboard. Still got the message
I bought it and it didn't download
It is not mentioned anywhere in the description but it is still not Daydream compatible
Awesome for anyone wanting to mellow out, unwind or even just experience the world through a different lens.
Been looking for something with real visuals, and of this genre. Very satisfying experience, thank you. Please add more scenes to keep the experiences fresh. Perhaps a way to centre the camera to an optimal viewpoint; for example, on the beach a simple way to direct the camera towards the ocean. Just a suggestion; i really do love the app!
Great content, really feels like you're there!
Just bought this app after my friend recommend it. I was going through a tough break up and my friend told me about "positive visualization" technique. The quality of images is superb and the music is really calming. The app feature few different scenes. I only wish there was more.
Great music and visuals! For the next version, make more and different locations!
This app is one of the most immersive vr apps I have experienced so far, it allows me to release tension, and is almost cathartic

One great positive about this app is that the developers listen to feedback! I really enjoy the new scenes, especially the nightsky and the clouds. It's worth the money and very relaxing. Nice work!
