Discovery VR for Cardboard for Android
Every time I tried to watch a video, it would freeze about 5 seconds in. The app looks amazing. I wish I could use it!
Stalls after 8 seconds and very low quality picture. What a waste of a good idea and potentially good videos.
Only the first few seconds of any video will load, then it freezes and all you can do is look around at a grainy, 360° freeze frame. Disappointed.
The videos are really interesting to watch although the home buttons wont autohide which is a distraction. Fix that one issue, 5 stars
It starts the first couple seconds and glitches. I was looking forward to it bc I love Discovery channel everything but this was a bummer
After few seconds of playback the video pauses and never resumes, no matter what Internet connection I use it just gets stuck at the same time. This happens on Android...
I liked it so much but the screen is becoming green sometimes please solve my problem
Complete and utter crap! Videos play for 5 seconds then freeze. The headset when the phone is aligned in the centre pushes the power button and shuts off the phone. My son is gutted that we need to return it. Awful, awful, awful!
Freezes non stop.i only bought the headset because it was endorsed by discovery vr app . useless
App works fine. But it should be compatible for all VR headsets like YouTube Vr videos instead of only optimising for Google VR. Fix this and get 5 stars.
Could not download ghost adventure VR and I tried for hours. Even had my 2 teenagers try and they couldn't either. Very disappointing.
Idk why the videos are low res. Viewed through vr glasses content is spoiled.
It's a waste of time. Plays for almost ten seconds then stops. This happens for every video. Sorry, I don't have the patience for this.
Great app but when it goes to the next video it doesn't load and I have to exit and reopen
Amazing application for Cardboard app independent vr experience.Amazing HD 360 Videos collection Best VR video app On play store
How did anyone rate this higher than 1. Freezes after 8 seconds on every video. Crap.
This is so cool one of the best vr experiences ever! Love the shark week series very cool and they all make me feel like I'm actually there! Many people say it sucks but it works fine for me! Definitely try this app!
Would be nice if it actually worked. Does not load and when it does it looks bury. And it's not my VR settings.
Audio loads just fine, never saw video, the loading animation kept running. Awesome background though
When you pick a video it will turn green, pls fix so that i will give 5 stars
It always stopps when I watch the video its so laggy im deleting dis rubbish crap app
Works for about 2 minutes. All my system requirements are good. But it's choppy and keeps crashing, which is disappointing because the content is pretty good. However, way to much app crashing or needing to force stop an reboot to be worthwhile.
Can't even watch for 10 seconds
Its OK
I have mixed feelings about this app. As others have reported, it is prone to crash and lag, and the 'video stops after ten seconds' bug happens a lot on my Samsung Galaxy S3. Buffering issues were worse when using a 5 GHz wireless network, and better on regular 2.4 GHz. Having more space available (fewer apps installed) helped. The thing that helped most was rebooting the phone before starting the app - after doing that, the buffering/pauses disappeared - at least for a while.
The app works well enough on the Priv. There are frequent crashes, but usually on starting the app or returning to the main menu. It doesn't take long to restart, which usually fixes the problem, and my experience was rarely interrupted. When it does work, it is interesting enough with a cheap Gear knockoff. The camera angles aren't great in a lot of the videos though.
Looks like great content. I opened ap, turned phone on side as it said, and picked viewer mode. Countdown starts, put phone in viewer, then video stops. It is on, but frozen, no movement like it's on pause, you can look around, unfortunately the video won't keep going. Have Galaxy S4. Will give more stars if this gets fixed so I can watch it, or get a suggestion on how to make it work.
It has tolerable milliseconds lags but is still good. I also have one problem, after watching one story in VR and I return to the menu to select another story, I am able to scroll down but clicking the play button is impossible. So i still need to exit then reopen the app every time i want to change the video. But still it has an auto next feature so its convenient to use and wait as well. Overall, this is a great app with a lot of cool vids and information so still giving 5 stars for this. Thanks!! :)
When I opened the app was really looking forward to exploring Harley and the Davidson's, Hawaii and everything else that was on there. Except that when you go too play a video, it will only play for about 10 seconds then it stops all together, which I rather disappointing. Please fix so that we can use the app
Crashes with error message "unfortunately Discovery VR has stopped " almost every time I try to use it. Videos won't load and or sound is not playing . Please fix, looks like you've got an amazing content list.
Videos start and then 10 seconds later you're taking the glasses off and trying to get the video to play again. Annoying and a pure waste of a download, would be a great app if the videos actually played
Every video plays seven seconds and the stops. I can move around and see what's in 360 view but the video is stuck like it's paused. Uninstalling. I prefer the ease and reliability of plain old YouTube. Post to YouTube and stop wasting time and money on useless apps.
Sucks, really wanted to use it, but keeps buffering and stopping. Couldn't get past the first few seconds of any video and I'm on a very fast connection.
Low res, no ability to pause and buffer, no ability to change res. Videos lag even though it's like 480p or lower. No VR controls. Come on discovery, really, some great looking content, really wanted it. But your tech team f'd you Hard. I'm actually Mad because it was so tempting, and then your developers decided: "No No, F you, you can't has it, But feel free to feel nauseous trying to watch it, we think that sh*ts funny." First time vr actually made me nauseated. Deleted.
Layout and design looks good. The app freezes when press back before finish loading any video (maybe get stuck on a request). There's no feedback when it's offline, for example: when requests a video, it keeps loading forever, but doesn't show any message like "you're offline, try again later". On splash screen, if I close the dialog offline and turn on internet again it doesn't connect automatically again or even show me again the dialog. And, I know that is not a native android app, but sometimes the app is quite laggy. It has a lot of nice effects, for example the bounce on the main list and the toolbar.
App and content are fun, but it needs a couple of things. 1. Navigation while in Cardboard (VR) mode. Can't select videos or start stop them. 2. After the first video played, the app really slowed down. It ended up crashing every time, and I had to reopen it to choose another video. I'm running a Pixel XL. about the best Android phone you can get right now. Fix these, and I'd give it 5 stars.
After watching 3 videos in this app I couldn't readjust my eyes and had a double vision for the next 20 minutes. This app is dangerous! This never happened to me before. I use official Google Cardboard correctly set up with Nexus 5x. Also, videos are not stereoscopic
5 seconds or so playback stops. Have tried several different videos same results..
Videos dont play in any sort of high quality. Doesnt playing hd respond asap
by Q####:
There isn't any option to change the clarity of the video and many other settings. Also to see the video I've to move the whole device all the times instead of just moving the screen like in youtube with fingers. That's really inconvenient. Also no playlists features and lot of other stuffs too
