Only 2 Destinations!!!

I thought this app would be my go-to app after work to go wander around the world on different missions, but no. Unfortunately it only focuses on Machu Pichu and Antartica. Too short. On the other hand, it is really an immersive experience. I loved it so much and that’s why it’s so disappointing bc you crave more. The graphics, the sound, everything is amazing. Not bad for $10. As Developer, i would keep updating it with more destinations and activities. Thanks!

Needs more, but amazing!

I really do feel like this is a five star game. It is breathtaking, relaxing, engaging, and enlightening. It is a great insight to the life of a wildlife photographer/expert. The only reason I gave it four stars was because I was expecting a lot more content. The three sections were over so quickly. I felt like there was a teeny bit of really great stuff. My hope is that this app grows and more content is added. Thank you for a great experience!

Love this game, but it’s stuck

This is a great game concept. And I love the levels that I did. However, I’m stuck with the penguins and can’t get out. The game is glitched. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, and it is still glitching in the same exact spot. Who do I contact to get this resolved? If it worked, my rating would be a five

Fun Experience

Last night, I spent three hours on a photo shoot for National Geographic magazine at Machu Picchu. At least, that's how it felt. It felt like I was there listening to the llamas walking around nearby.This was a great experience. I look forward to my next VR experience in Antarctica. I guess I'd better dress warm!
