The VR180 app by Google lets you set up and manage your VR180 camera right from your mobile device. With the app, you can see what’s on your camera and save or discard clips. It also tells you about your camera’s status including capture activity, battery charge, storage remaining, and more. Here’s what you can do with the VR180 app by Google: Set up your VR180 camera in just a few minutes Transfer your VR180 content in seconds from your camera to your phone View your VR180 content to select your favorite moments Save VR180 content easily to Google Photos or YouTube or your phone’s photo gallery Share VR180 content directly with your friends and family See what your camera sees with Live Preview Remotely capture VR180 content even when the camera is a few feet away Adjust camera settings

The 3D pictures spin out of control. Needs to be updated.

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.
United States😕😕😕
What cameras are compatible!?!?! My camera is not connecting! 😟😟😟 I have a “ODRVM” action camera and it’s not working
United StatesThis app is aggressively restrictive with your VR photos.
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 VR180 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 VR180 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 VR180 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, VR180 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.
United StatesFunctional, but could use some work
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 VR180 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.
