Screen are too far apart on Note 4. Can't use the app. App will not connect to my youtube playlists. The ONLY good thing about the app is that there is no screen drift, but what good is that when the screens are too far apart to watch a video?

Can you add environment option like a home theater. Just as an option, I like the black background but a change of scenery would be nice.

No question. Only good YouTube vr app on the app store. (How hard is it to SBS YouTube. So many other apps fail in achieving this.) Lots of customizable settings

Clicking links opens YouTube app every time and no way to select this player. To be fair, developer responded quickly to query.

Does not work, videos never load. No point in linking youtube profile, does nothing. Waste of money and time.

This app is definitely the only good VR YouTube player, it's well designed and mostly works well. However, on my new Note 4, the images are far too separated. The stereoscopy is totally off. This is the only app I have this issue with, stereoscopy is fine in every other app I've tried.

This was working perfectly on my HTC One m7 but just moved to a Samsung s5 plus and the progress bar is pure white and unable to get controls to show, any chance of fixing? Then back to 5 star

The main menu and the seek function could both use some work. I would personally prefer a menu that doesn't rely on the accelerometer. Overall, 5/5!

upgraded for Youtube account connectivity, but playlists 'say error'. On the plus side, sharing directly from youtube to vrTube is so awesome, the interface is beautiful, and I can still create playlists on the app from recents. love watching youtube side by side 3D videos (sbs 3d).

Probably the best video viewer app for google cardboard with the galaxy s5, it works perfectly, there is no drifting and the controls are easy to access inside the viewer and (except for the sizing and seeking rings) they are easy to use. Thank you.

But the new circular slider are not working efficiently and has some issues...plus videos from vevo like any kind of any artist video clip will not work. i think it is like kind of protecting their videos in some way. wish this issue to be solved soon

Developer... I am using the YouTube app to watch Nick I minaj anaconda on my cardboard. I load it and get an error loading video message. I picked the top video that comes up.

With no seek bar and time. It can get a little distracting. Also, it would be great to set things like volume and distance once without having to set it again every time I view a video

Doesn't show up as option for YouTube playback from dolphin or stock browser but got it working by sharing from the YouTube app and it does a good job once it gets going. Biggest complaint is not being able to set distortion correction level...default level over corrects for my lenses. That and videos occasionally not wanting to load only showing a black screen with a white bar at the bottom.

You should consider having a "resume" feature like on the Cmoar apps to watch videos where you left off. Add this feature and this app would be perfect 5 stars.

This is by far the best app that i have found for viewing videos on google cardboard, having compared it to googles own app and also a few virtual cinema. It has excellent features, and the only thing that is lacking is perhaps touch support so that the video can be controlled without being in the cardboard device. Thanks to the developers.
