Ratings and Reviews
Missed Potential and Poor Execution
I am thoroughly disappointed with AR Voyage by Niantic. This app is a prime example of missed potential and poor execution. Despite Niantic’s reputation for innovative AR experiences, AR Voyage falls woefully short on multiple fronts.
Firstly, the app is plagued with technical issues. The constant crashes and bugs make it almost unusable. Many users, including myself, have faced frequent app freezes, lagging, and unexpected shutdowns, which severely hamper the overall experience. This level of instability is unacceptable, especially from a developer of Niantic’s calibre.
Secondly, the content itself is lacklustre and uninspired. The mini-games, which are supposed to showcase the capabilities of the Lightship ARDK, are dull and repetitive. There’s a glaring lack of engaging gameplay or compelling storytelling. The promised features like depth estimation, semantic segmentation, and multiplayer capabilities are poorly integrated, leaving much to be desired in terms of functionality and user experience.
Moreover, the user interface is confusing and not user-friendly. Navigating through the app is a cumbersome process, with poorly designed menus and unclear instructions. This is a significant barrier for new users trying to explore the app’s features.
Finally, Niantic’s support and responsiveness to user feedback have been abysmal. Numerous complaints and issues reported by users seem to go ignored, with little to no communication from the developer. This lack of customer support only adds to the frustration and disappointment.
In summary, AR Voyage is a frustrating, buggy, and uninspired AR experience that fails to live up to the expectations set by Niantic’s previous successes. Save your time and storage space and avoid this app until significant improvements are made.
