Functional, but could use some work
By neutrino15 (Pcmac user)
This is the recommended app to use with the Lenovo Mirage camera. I was able to set it up, connect to the camera, install a firmware update, and view pictures and videos in VR (i used Cardboard viewer) from the camera pretty easily. You can also see a live preview of the camera and perform basic camera functions from the app. The app seems a little buggy though and half baked right now. I hope they devote more time and resources to make this app great.
Some of the minor problems I’ve run into so far:
- Streaming stutters for 4K video even when streaming over direct WiFi. Downloading the videos first works better.
- The app has crashed on me a couple of times. Usually when I’m trying to stream VR Video from the camera to the phone.
- There is no button in app to switch from Bluetooth to direct WiFi (for faster transfer) In order to do it, you have to turn off WiFi in your iPhone settings, restart this app app, and then reconnect to the camera. It then offers a direct WiFi connection via popup message. To my knowledge there are no instructions on how to do this in the app.

Needs improvement
By Mars7n11 (Pcmac user)
I think the app works OKAY but it could be better. I’d definitely would like a feature that allows content to be moved a little bit easier.

Works well with compatible camera
By me,myself,I, and you (Pcmac user)
Once paired with my camera, this app worked as an awesome remote control and made it easy to get my photos into my Google Photos app.

This app is aggressively restrictive with your VR photos.
By Eggyhead85 (Pcmac user)
Replacing the app-specific, proprietary export option with an iOS-standard share sheet would likely completely solve this issue entirely.
I have a Lenovo Mirage camera and an Oculus Go. Oculus and Google are competitors in VR entertainment. Oculus supports google’s this app format, but this app DOES NOT want you to be able to move your VR files to any service that allows you to view your content with non-google-certified headsets.
With this app, you can manage your this app camera, easily view your content using only one of Google’s “certified” headsets, or backup your images to this app, Google Photos or your phone’s iPhotos app. If you to use iPhotos as a middleman app in order to export your photos to other services (such as Dropbox, which can be accessed from an oculus go), this this app app will rewrite the image.vr.jpeg files as a regular image.jpeg files to prevent other headsets from recognizing or displaying your images properly in VR. Simply put, this app breaks your VR images.
Without a google-approved headset, the only reason to have this app is to update your VR camera and maybe keep backups of your files. Otherwise, just ignore it and use a home computer for proper file management.
