VR180 4+

This app works as advertised but lacks very basic features. For instance, there’s no way to auto select and download new photos to the phone. Instead you need to connect to the camera and manually. select. every. single. individual. photo. and. then. download.

It’s very tedious, and if it gets interrupted you have to start all over again (doubling some photos, and taking more time).

Ideally it should work more like the Ricoh Theta app, which only downloads new photos.

Additionally, I’m having tremendous trouble establishing a stable connect to my Lenovo Mirage camera via my iPhone 6S. At one point this app just gave up and showed me manual instructions (for the SSID, password, etc.) I would be so grateful if there way to manually request this info.

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.

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.
