DOWNLOAD

In short

NYT VR – Virtual Reality is a free Android app from The New York Times Company. It is a great way to create something amazing.

Highlights

Stream option works seamlessly in very high internet speeds

Great addition to allow streaming

Works great on my Droid Turbo with Cardboard

Thank you for creating something so amazing

Really nice application of VR technology to news story telling

But Nyt vr plays with double vision on my OnePlus One

Great experience on tablet

Otherwise great visuals and immersive dialogue

Amazing clarity and storytelling

This has got to be one of the most amazing things I have ever seen

Subpar QA on Android app

Keep getting an error at 7 seconds saying check connection

Disappointing not to view video in its entirety

Got the cardboard viewer today

So no way to exit app

The Return button doesn't work

I must force close to turn off app

Doesn't get past the initial intro screen

Didn't work with the Samsung Oculus VR

Held back by poor implementation
