Running Lollipop on my phone. Voice commands do not work. Settings do not allow me to change color options. This is the only voice control app on my phone that DOESN'T work. Cool idea, though.

C70%
by C####:

If I could give this zero stars I would. Does literally nothing. How do these apps even get approved and allowed onto the play store?

E70%
by E####:

The voice recognition is a good idea but a bit difficult to get right and doesn't always work. Would be better to just press the button to loop through or have a menu like cardboard demo!

C70%
by C####:

First app I've used that looks like double vision and not 3d. Nice touch with voice control.

R70%
by R####:

Only black screen. Really wish it would Work. Plz update.

C70%
by C####:

Just black screen on my lenovo. Don't waste your time.

D70%
by D####:

It won't allow you to actually take a photo with the filter. All pics you take come out 100% filterless in you camera roll

C70%
by C####:

Black screen the whole time. Able to use volume toggles though.

A70%
by A####:

Got only a black screen in VR display. Touching screen gets a beep tone! Not working on my Zenfone 2.

C70%
by C####:

Just blank screen, and when tap screen just makes sound. Note 4 Sm N910C. Don't download as VR takes a lot of space anyway!

C70%
by C####:

Why even publish this if it doesn't work for so many people. Needs some real work or should be removed.

C70%
by C####:

The only thing I would ask is that there was a way to turn the barrel distortion off, since all it does for me is stretch the camera image and zoom in, which makes it painfully awkward to move around whilst using the app.

C70%
by C####:

Amazing app. Exactly what I was looking for. It would be great if you enabled a function to zoom in. Why is the so much lag?

C70%
by C####:

But it gives me a blank screen. No instruction, no promps. Just a black screen that does nothing

F70%
by F####:

This app used to work amazingly well on my old Galaxy S4 and even my OnePlus Two. My Galaxy S7 however shows nothing but a black screen. Apparently most newer Android devices are having this problem. The app probably needs to be updated but I doubt that's going to happen.

N70%
by N####:

Awesome, minus bad voice controls. For those of you who see a great black screen, try making sure that your camera is not being blocked. I cut out holes in my google cardboard. Other than that the app is great.

W70%
by W####:

I've long wanted to view the world through mediated reality graphics filters, so this is a fun app for that with Cardboard. Since the phone only has 1 camera it doesn't give you depth, so it's hard to walk around in VR mode. That's not their fault, but what is is how the view distorts radically if you turn your head, because the horizontal is distorted by 1/2, while the vertical isn't.

C70%
by C####:

All I get is a black screen with a line down the middle with a settings icon below it. I tap the screen and get the Google speech sound. That is all. I can hear my camera trying to focus but nothing shows on screen. Galaxy s6

X70%
by X####:

Like many of the other reviews, all I'm getting is a black screen with the the white line down the middle on my S6 Active. There is a settings option at the bottom, but it only directs me to the Google Play store.

C70%
by C####:

Works okay but the image is heavily distorted. it's squished on the sides. instead of squishing the entire feed from the camera on each eye, it should do like 2/3 horizontal on each eye with 1/3 overlap. then this problem wouldn't be a thing.

U70%
by U####:

This app is incredible, but with a few issues. It crashes now and then, using the voice command takes FOREVER. A big concern is that when you use effects, they don't show up in the video! I had to rate it so low due to these issues.

D70%
by D####:

Works flawlessly, really fun, hasn't glitched yet! Great way to show friends how cool VR is!

D70%
by D####:

Love this app, it gives awesome effects but in my Xperia Z2 everything is stretched vertically making it difficult to use without getting motion sick. Overall a great app though!

C70%
by C####:

Using with a "VR BOX" and love it! Has some pretty cool effects, and there actually pretty clean and great looking. Not those cheesy effects you see elsewhere! Great job devs! Add some more effects!

D70%
by D####:

Just a black screen for me, look at how many 1 star reviews this has.

D70%
by D####:

Galaxy s6 edge. Sounded amazing when i downloaded, i just wish it was more than a black blank screen. Volume keys toggled what im assuming is they style of the effects and also from normal view to VR mode.

N70%
by N####:

My nexus 6 works for video apps but in the camera function I end up with double vision where there are two side by side items.

D70%
by D####:

The app flat out doesn't work no matter what I do, I will change the rating if it starts to work!

Z70%
by Z####:

Only black screen. Really wish it would Work.

D70%
by D####:

Voice command doesn't work. Since that is broken the whole app doesn't work since it is the only way to change the filters.

I70%
by I####:

Doesn't even work. Find something else.

D70%
by D####:

Pressed volume up on the phone and it switches effects and voice commands not working. Am I supposed to use volume controls on headphones?

X70%
by X####:

Nexus 5X. First of all, everything is upside down. Flipped vertical. Next, most commands don't work. Is this app not supposed to be compatible with my device or something?

J70%
by J####:

Please add flash capabilities. It will be really helpfull

U70%
by U####:

Also UI is super unintuitive - virtually impossible to use without reading the "user guide" on the display store (the sound indicates it's listening for speech recognition, but saying "help" doesn't do anything).

D70%
by D####:

Fun example of the augmented reality medium. Is there any way to do selective color with a color other than red?

D70%
by D####:

Though it looks like a cool app, it doesnt run on my Galaxy S7 which is dissapointing. All I'm getting is a black screen.

D70%
by D####:

Black screen. Sounds like a good concept though. Samsung galaxy note 4.

D70%
by D####:

My only problem is the fish eye effect is a bit too intense for my liking. Other than that it was great

D70%
by D####:

...black screen only, I'm using a galaxy S6 with Google Cardboard. Disappointed as this was highly recommended!
