View-Master® Destinations

Had to download the cardboard app as well as the destinations app to get it to work!! I paid for the viewer and discs for my son's Christmas gift. Not cool. When it does work all the wording is jumbled. Can't read anything at all. Total waste of money not to mention a disappointment kid. Thanks Mattel

I have the same problem with destinations and wildlife, neither seem to load properly and it's very frustrating. The space reel seems to work great so I assume these apps just need to be updated.

Any attempt to get this working failed. This my first review, consider my motivation to do so, what I think about this app

It is the slowest that I find it's takes the camera a few minutes cause it freezes all the time on the Nexus 5.

Every time I open the app it stays At the home screen forever the space reel works fine I just think u need to update it

App will not load or recognize reels.

Doesn't work on either of my phones. Such a waste of money.

Doesn't work

IT IS AWESOME.

Useless!

My son got this for his 10th Birthday and it's so cool and realistic. Very educational also. He does have a real view master though. I see some people are commenting on something cardboard?

It worked perfectly fine when I got it, then I ran into a wall, and the app won't work

If it's your first experience pack/app to use with your View-Master, you're probably going to be somewhat impressed. However, if you viewed the View-Master Discovery Underwater pack/app beforehand, you're likely to get underwhelmed by Destinations. There is no interaction or fun to be had. Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to enter the Statue of Liberty or get a somewhat closer look at the Crown Jewels. You might just as well be looking at a bunch of post cards. The Flag isn't even flapping in the wind.

Very poorly designed app. You would think they would have put more effort into it considering they are a large toy company. The actual headset is great for the price, but this isn't a review for that. I was so frustrated, trying to get the stupid app to recognize discs. Never got it to work. This is on a 5x like the last guy who reviewed it and like he said, the dumb app shows the camera upside down and inverted.

I'm reviewing the free version, which only shows a very short tour of the Acropolis. I'm giving it a 4 because (when it works), holding the "reel" in hour hand provides a cute demonstration of augmented reality. (To those who can't get it to start, hold the reel about 12" away from your face, and move it around until the 3D model appears. It took me 3 tries, but it works.)

Sadly, this app is borderline unusable on the Nexus 5X as it flips the camera image upside down. My research suggests it due to the app using an old version of the camera API. Would very much appreciate an update

Just a black screen. I won't allow permissions to my contacts and I won't give it the permission to make calls. There's no need for an app like this to have those permissions so I should be able to deny them. I'd give it no stars.

Read the bad reviews so was worried it wouldn't be very good! Downloaded it and it worked straight away, kids love it and is a really clever app, can't wait to try the other ones now!

I bought the headset 'cause one, it was $20, and two, it's Google Cardboard compatible. I also got the Destinations pack for $10, just wanted to see how good it was. I'm amazed at how great it looked through the VR Headset. The main headset also came with a preview disc, so I decided to download the Space and Wildlife app and tryout the preview disc for the other ones. OF ALL 3, THIS ONE IS THE BETTER LOOKING. The other apps look like something from an early 2000's arcade game.

This does nothing but takes you to a site to buy more things.

Exit button?? Google Street view as good or better. Hint: I could use with Go4d 3d glasses and waving a magnet in left hand to click. ;) Is this 3d or just 2d circular pics? Would be much better if more cost available, actually 3d like real view masters were, and more honest.

This is called destinations but has very few. Will new destinations be added for free? The price is a bit high for what you can do.

It is worth the 30$

Unable to fix. It works perfectly with cardboard I don't know why it doesn't work with any of the apps. Using a nexus 6

The viewmaster headset is a nice implementation of cardboard. Worth the $20. The destinations reel is pretty poor. Roughly 3 old viewmaster reels, and to tell the truth. my memory of them from my youth was more clear than this on a 1080 phone screen. I will not be buying any more content unless Viewmaster does something much better than destinations (and/or does a substantial upgrade to this reel). The one problem with this delivery mechanism, is it requires download/substantial local storage. Since viewmaster is selling physical disks anyway, a delivery system that put the data on those disks and connected to them (usb/bluetooth/wifi I don't care) and don't require phone storage would be great.

Only three reels with some 360 photos and very basic info. Sound is poor. You can only view Statue of Liberty from the outside as well as Chichen Itza. Nothing premium here. Mattel, you have to come up with more original and premium content if you want to ever sell anything to me or my family in our remaining lifetime.

My son got this for his 10th Birthday and it's so cool and realistic. Very educational also. He does have a real view master though. I see some people are commenting on something cardboard?

This is awesome!you should try this.if your parents don't have enough money buy it online.it will ship to you mighty quick

Asks for permissions it shouldn't when starting app on Android 6. Then can't get AR to work in well lit room with disc clearly visible.

On marshmallow update I have to allow all of the permissions annnnnd pay 14 bucks to unlock the bloody thing ?????!! Why not just have us pay 14 bucks up front for it instead of wasting my time with free download...

Galaxy S5.

Video when using camera is upside down because they use the old deprecated camera API in the app

Does not work!

The app downloaded five and worked like a charm. No problems. Very interactive and educational. My daughter told me all about her trip to New York and Greece.

The camera is upside down on the nexus 5x. Also cards only work on one phone. Once used won't work again.

I bought the full version of this app and thought, "That's it? Where's the rest of it?" Hopefully, there will be updates to make it worth the $15 I paid for it. At present, I do not recommend buying the full version.

Bad

It worked perfectly fine when I got it, then I ran into a wall, and the app won't work

Doesn't load. Doesn't do anything.

I used it on my view master goggles there all awesome
