Discovery VR App Reviews

Running iOS 10. App crashes shortly after opening. Unable to view any videos.

Lots of content, there needs to be a way to set the resolution. Id rather have full res like YouTube videos, even if I have to let it buffer for a little bit.

You need a Google cardboard headset in order to take advantage of the VR experience. If you do then try it out. The images look blurry but its still a great effect and one of the better VR apps Ive seen. If the iPhone 6 had a better screen with more pixels this app would be amazing.

Parents, download this right now. Your kids will be entertained long enough for you to do what you need to do.

Nice idea if it worked. Crashes as soon as I try to open it. I aint got time for this. DELETED

Accelerometer does not work on iPod touch 5th gen

This is pretty awesome and has lots of potential to bring the World to more people. I will admit I was a little disappointed with the "Walk through Muir Woods". It did not show anything really like the beautiful and amazing GIANT redwoods and the camera just stood in one place. I wouldnt call that a "walk". I do look forward to seeing more though.

really awesome app I see the potential with this. Sports wilderness etc

Love the variety. Thanks! More to come I hope.

One of the best VR apps out there. Glad to see Discovery is making this stuff. And the app is great. Notifies you when new videos go up.

iPod Touch 5 running iOS 9. Video doesnt move with accelerometer.

Cool app but the sound doesnt work so kinda frustrating

A few pieces of content. If you want to see much more, check out Littlstar. Discovery used Littlstar’s technology to build Discovery VR and their web VR player.

This app is so much fun! I like watching the elephants, but it freezes a lot. Is there any fix for it?

Really cool! Just wanted to give some feedback on a few things I noticed on my iPhone 6 with a Google Cardboard viewer: First, the resolution was a bit low, I know the iPhone has a very high-res display, it’s probably a bandwidth tradeoff issue but you could go higher resolution. At the same time I noticed pauses and delays, although I have a great WiFi connection, perhaps some better technology is needed for buffering the videos. Finally and most easily fixable, in Cardboard mode you have a white bar at the top of the screen that says “Google Cardboard move” and at the bottom when the video needs to load, little green loading bars appear. Both of these are visible within the 3D Cardboard view, appearing on the far left and far right and are distracting and take away from the immersive illusion.

This is amazing

Videos are super low resolution and it really takes away from the experience. Could be really cool, but its not

The idea is great but the bright white bar to exit is very distracting to the eye.

Blurry on Cardboard v2. Anyway to adjust for the larger spread between eyeholes?

The content in this is very good but there are some negatives that keep this from 5 stars. To wit: 1) navigation back to the main menu is just not obvious, if it is possible at all. Other than killing the app and restarting, I couldnt figure it out. 2) resolution of the video is sometimes low, which destroys the VR effect. The app should allow for content to be downloaded, then played, as the NYT VR app does. This would allow for higher quality video than streaming allows. Overall, pluses outweigh negatives in this version.
