What sets anyWR apart is its stand-alone functionality. Unlike other VR applications, there is no need for a computer or additional hardware.

Slow, Low Res experience with lacking UI

You start by choosing whether to search a location or visit a small selection of countries and even smaller choice of locations. Visiting a city like San Francisco from the air looks reasonable. The bridge looks twisted and incomplete. When you descend to near street level or street level the scene looks like something from a zombie film. The buildings look like something from The Last of Us. Flying low to the ground is painfully slow. You are creeping along and button smashing in the hopes you can zoom at a reasonable speed. If you fly high your speed will increase, if you fly ‘too high’ the horizon doesn’t load at all. You can’t return to menu or your search, at least I haven’t found a button to take me back out from a location, I have to close the app and relaunch to search a new location. You can’t save locations from what I can see, and at this time it doesn’t appear that you can invite friends to explore locations. My opinion is that the sales lingo doesn’t measure up to the actual experience. This app needs to develop a lot more to be something I’d recommend or use. Wander, although street level and perhaps renders just as slow, is a far smoother and welcoming experience with the ability to save and share and have social experiences. This app is over priced for what you get.

Real standalone Google Earth experience.

This is the first real standalone Google Earth experience in Oculus store, while there's already a similar APP in SideQuest called EarthQuest. So I'll compare these two. Flying is a lot smoother in EarthQuest. The graphics are at about the same level - you can't expect too much on a standalone headset. I like the blue sky background in AnyWR over the MR background in EarthQuest. AnyWR has search function while EarQuest doesn't. Like in some other games with really large maps, there seems to be a limit on how far you can see in anyWR. So when you fly high in the sky, you can't see the horizon beyond that limit. All you can see is the "event horizon" of that limit, which is not ideal. While somehow EarthQuest dosen't have this limit. In Earthquest you can see as far as the edge of the Earth. You pass through buildings and even go under ground in anyWR, which is weird. I think overall EarthQuest offers a better experience mainly because flying is smoother, no sight limit issue and doesn't go under ground. That leaves room for improvements for this APP, and I hope this APP gets better with future updates.

Potential is there

Pretty cool app. Graphics resolution is about what you’d expect. I wish there was a way to speed up the movement so that I could navigate over an area a little faster.

Not working

App is not working, you can only browse menu and nothing else. I do not recommend. Edit: there is no new update. Last version us 5.2. Which version is fixed? Edit 20.8.2024: next 12 days and still nothing? I find it very strange...
