Ratings and reviews

As an almost 18 year resident of Second Life, I am extremely frustrated and disappointed in this most recent update. Since I have installed the update, i have not been able to log in easily. My connection is constantly getting dropped. My cell phone is now telling me to put this app to sleep in order for my phone to run. This current update makes the application unusable since we cannot connect. It starts out fine, then it minimizes to the background, then it just simply disconnects.

I know it's a Beta, but man it was very laggy and the movement extremely janky. Not in a good way either. I'd like a teleport option like what IMVU has. At least on mobile, given the joystick takes up so much space. Camera is also worse than anything I've seen in some of the worst PS2 games with camera problems. I mainly tried it cus IMVU is clearly dying and I wanted to see about the shops. I did not expect anything that I saw. Default face also can't be changed and is the most uncanny thing.

I've held my tongue long enough. I paid for early access to the app, expecting things to be missing. But now that it's available to all users, i can't stay mum about it. The functionality it's not missing is straight up broken. The final straw for me was when i received an IM from a customer requesting support, and it just deleted the IM when i tried to respond. Luckily, i could see the full message in my motification history. this is really bad for new users as well.
