      Unusable. Basically feels like amateur hour trying to use this. Used to be good enough if set up just right, but now it quickly accumulates horrific lag no matter what I do. Don't even bother trying this if you're not very technical; if you are, don't sink much time into trying to get it to work. At this point I'm heavily considering getting a Vive. My system is good enough for that.

      About as reliable as a 100 year old car. This app constantly would disconnect from my phone with vr never completly working. Once tracking worked before immediately crashing. The other time I saw video but the game didnt show on screen when I was given control. Interface is good but ive had nothing besides issues when ive used it.

      This is a really good app, while it does connect VR on its own games, You will need to connect through SteamVR to play other games like Assetto Corsa or Live For Speed or other non-steam with Revive. You will also need to set your screen to extended. 5 stars for the quality of the stream. Everyone, if your VR stream lags horribly, use USB Tethering. Wish devs a great luck.

      geat app and works well, and easy to set up.tested on huawei p9 and htc m9 in 1080p over wifi, no issues in connecting or lag, was quite impressed. now just have to wait on decent headset and controller. ps you do need a high spec machine for vr so before saying it doesnt work. make sure you have a good machine, good wifi eg ac1800 and a decent phone. would be amazing on a htc u series phone with quad hd screen. tested both ste vr and unity. amd ryzen 1700x and rx 560 4g oc. avg around 65 fps on the more detailed gsmes.

      Hey, first of all great app. Really enjoy it, and its super well made. But, there's a problem. Everytime after using the app, my phone notification sound, and phone vibration don't work anymore, I have to restart my phone to let it work again. This is on android 6.0.1

      Worked once. As soon as time ran out it never worked again. Wasn't able to test any games. By the time I got steamVR configured it crashed my S8+ every time. Also couldn't use a controller with it at all. Seems only PS Move controllers are supported.

      Hey, once you launch game click the cogwheel in the top-right on your phone, then go to VR settings and enable 'high priority' notification. If that didn't work then click the 'VR permissions' or something similar in the same place and you should be able to turn on phone's notifications there. That should fix the issue.

      This app did not work for me whatsoever. Every time a game runs the app instantly crashes on my phone. I re downloaded it multiple times and restarted but it did not work at all. I even did the beta update but that didn't work either. I was considering buying the unlimited upgrade when I started downloading everything but thank God I didn't.

      Pls bring the compression quality to moonlight level or enable it for nvidia people. That is a must for this app as compression quality is really baş compared to real ve headsets and most people are starting thinking VR is a gimmick. This is a paid app and for the money you guys are asking quality of compression and speed of head movement is really bad with a 1080 geforce and lg g4

      Tried the trial a couple of months back and it worked flawlessly. Then the anniversary deal came up so I thought I would buy it. Unfortunately now it doesnt seem to work in either Vive or Occulus modes. On the phone app I recieve a pink block of text with "awaiting vr stream" come up over it in white. It then goes out of vr and back to the white connected screen and repeats indefinately. This happens with both the wifi and usb connection types. In steam when I launch vr mode it also gives an on screen error. It is a shame as the demo showed real potential. Hopefully this issue will be resolved as I am realy looking forward to playing vr games.

      I tested it tethered and wireless and they were about the same but tethered was slightly less jittery. I know that the lag is from riftcat because I was monitoring both my PC and my phone. I think if you work on this and try to minimize lag as much as possible, you will have an amazing product!

      So far this app is working amazing as of July 2017. I heard about this in a Youtube video, so I broke out the flimsy phone VR and used a wired usb connection to the phone. I have only used the 10 minute sessions so far, but it is confirmed working on a Note 4 and Elephone P8 Mini. I have to say it delivered on my end. It streamed smooth 1080p 60fps to both phones no problem via wired connection. The wifi connection has more latency, and always will depending on your wifi connection and speed. Setup was quick and simple: sign up on the website, download the client on your pc and phone, log in, choose method of connection (wired or wifi), get the Steam VR client via steam, setup Steam VR, and open up your VR compatible games, and VOILA cheap gaming pc VR. To clarify: the gaming experience also depends on the caliber of pc that you have. I personally have a low end gaming pc: Intel pentium G3220 3.0 ghz, R7 370 2GB, and 8GB DDR3 Ram. Games that worked great for me were War Thunder and Project cars at mid to high settings to achieve 60 fps at 1080p. Overall the gaming experience was enjoyable and comfortable. I would like to see atleast a 30 minute test trial for thourough testing for the consumers before spending 15 dollars. Otherwise it is a fantastic app. FOR PEOPLE WITH MORE MONEY TO SPEND look to invest in a PiMax 4k VR headset with proper hdmi connections and built in 4k display for only 300 bucks.

      I absolutely hate this. I spent about two hours trying to get this setup when it should've taken about 2 minutes. I followed every step to get this to work and nothing. It just times out or stays on "awaiting stream". I'm going to make sure to spread the word that this app is horrible and make sure no one else has to deal with it. Get your act together devs!

      Not sure it the app is too complicated to use for some and that's why they are giving 1 star reviews, but I've been using this with PsMove Controllers and more recently Nolo for full room scale VR since November 2016 with zero problems. Please note you have to have a really good 5G connection to stream wirelessly or it will disconnected, jitter, etc. If not you can stream through USB but you'll have to look up how to disable your mobile data after connected or your PC will use that internet. Spent less than $200 on TWO roomscale setups with this app instead of $800 for a Vive. Great App, Great devs, lots of settings for optimization. Affordable PC VR for all :)

The normal stable works fine on lowest res, but with the beta that adds support for my note 8's new gearvr is still crashing and unusable for me. So will continue to use the stable one.

      Brilliant app. You are going to need to have a decent phone to run it and an ok headset though. Going to try their guide to use PlayStation move controllers soon. You really can't knock it for the fact you have a full VR kit for this price. Just make sure you use USB tethering for the best results.

      Please try turning off NFC in your phone so Daydream View doesn't take over. It should work then. Daydream native mode is in works.
      Tim Henderson August 2, 2017
      Got this to stream elite dangerous to my s6 through a 15$ daydream headset, and I am not disappointed for the price. There is a little work involved getting the graphics settings, riftcat and app settings all right however it's not hard to find online guides should you need help doing so. There is an issue somewhere where after you play awhile the game will lag insanely hard, but a reset of the software fixes this, text can be blurry (but I don't think riftcat is to blame here vr itself just needs to be improved) and center drift can be real bad. Pros: Great visuals and depth (running at 1440 through a 980ti) Setup isn't too complicated Price vs oculus or vive Latency is real good though USB tether Cons: Phone app sometimes crashes to desktop (but stays open in app manager or whatever, is this a button issue?) Latency demons sometimes appear. Setup IS required on 3 fronts (riftcat, app, game)

      The 15 minute trial was barely enough time to get it working. The video quality is absolutely abysmal, the latency will make you ill the moment you put the headset on. I wouldn't use this if it were free. I'm certainly not paying for it
