User Reviews

Mobile VR Station offers a feature-rich VR video player that many users praise for watching personal content and for customization, and it’s still updated. However, it suffers from major reliability and compatibility issues on newer iOS versions (head-tracking lag, unresponsiveness), limited codec support with frequent buffering, slow performance, and a monetization model that imposes limits and paid upgrades, plus a clunky VR UI that hampers usability.
Pros
  • Feature-rich VR media player with many options.
  • Supports watching your own content (personal media).
  • Long-standing app that is still being updated and maintained.
  • Background customization for the viewer.
  • Works on basic VR headsets like Google Cardboard.
Cons
  • Head-tracking lag and unresponsiveness on latest iOS versions (e.g., iOS 18).
  • Limited file/codec support (no h.265) and frequent buffering or files shown as unsupported.
  • Very slow performance and lag in VR navigation and playback (low FPS).
  • Monetization hurdles: paywalls and 5-minute limits for videos, plus premium requirements.
  • Clunky, glitchy VR menus and a difficult, non-intuitive user experience.
Recent reviews
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.
