NYT VR - New York Times App Reviews

I see double with my iPhone 6 on every video with this app. Its very disappointing. I viewed one nyt vid on another app and it was great. I dont know if others are available elsewhere.

I have an iPhone6 and just got my Knox Labs Next HMD today. The NYT picture and audio quality are great, the head tracking is smooth, and the stories are compelling. Want more!

The Google Cardboard app works perfectly. The NYT app doesnt offer any sort of configuration so the 3D is just off enough to make me crosseyed and nauseous. Take this app down until it works correctly, its going to make people think VR is not worth it when it so is!

My guess is that it may be fixed in some future update...???

Great idea but for the 6+ doesnt work.

Looks like footage from the 70s. Low res, washed out. Theres much better equipment available today. Much. But please stick with it!

You get double vision. Most other VR apps work. But this one isnt really configurable with my Google Cardboard I/O 2015.

This was the most unique experience and visually fascinating. I have an iPhone 6 and watched the videos through Google cardboard. It was incredible, I couldnt stop looking around, I felt like I was a part of the story. Definitely recommended if you have the Google cardboard and iPhone 6!

Doesnt scan QR code of viewer therefore ONLY supports google cardboard viewer - absolutely stupid. One star

A young hot female San Francisco NYT employee recommended this app to me. Most the stuff she shows me is lame. So I was weary about downloading this app. But after 5 minutes of playing with it I was hooked. The new immersive journalism technology is truly the future of reporting. Amazing app. Highly recommended.

Good start, but this app natively only allows you to view the VR content upside down in relation to their Cardboard apps. And since there is no alignment line in the middle of the screen, its almost impossible to align the screen right in the middle of the viewer. The result is blurry viewing almost all the time. There is no way to center it perfectly. At least if the app was flipped the other direction, you could align it with the Carboard app, and then switch to this one.

I have been viewing content however the video and audio have been totally out of sync.

No matter what I do-centering the phone, changing the zoom, etc, the images are always blurry and doubled. I dont have this issue with other VR apps.

Im genuinely shocked by how bad this is. Very surprised NYT would put their name on it. No matter what I do, including adjusting the zoom on my phone, I only get blurry double vision using Google cardboard. Its nauseating and so disappointing. Dont waste your time; hopefully a future version will work properly.

really bad quality vr and you have to keep the open for it to load

Please fix it and its going to be great

The Google Cardboard viewing option doesnt work correctly on iPhone 5 / 5s size screens. The images arent aligned correctly (software bug?).

There is no option to scan in the QR code on the side of your Cardboard viewer to adjust the display settings for different Cardboard viewers. Because of this, I have double vision, making the app unusable. Most other VR apps have this option, its surprising NYT hasnt added this yet.

The FAQ in the app tells you to make sure the zoom is set to standard and that the phone is centered. Even with both correctly adjusted, you still get double vision. Ive used other VR apps on my phone and they work fine because the "2 screens" arent shaped like in the app. They should be 2 rectangles that fill the whole screen. That is the problem. Not the Cardboard. Not the phone. The videos need to be resized to fill the whole screen.

Its hard to believe, but the Grey Lady has done it again: released an app without actually testing it to see if it works. Unusable. You see double on EVERYTHING they release using iPhone 6+ and cardboard 2.0. Big disappointment.
