“Used to” work great.
I used this paid version of the app for years and it was basic but worked great for google cardboard compatible headsets on an iPhone. Most VR media firms now encode h.265. The newer phones all support this but this app does not play h.265 encoded video files. it just displays a page of icons. The sound comes through, just no video. I've tried to contact the developer several times but there hasn't been a reply on this issue.
