Community Voice & Feedback
This is really a great app for SL… When it works! Today is a day it decided not to work. I’m sure they’ll fix it once they find out it isn’t working. Maybe a week or 10. Why the 2 Star instead of 4 or 5.
Opening doors is almost none existent. I feel like a prisoner in my own home while using this app. Cartoon avi’s in the place of your real avatar is sucky too.
So you log in and there's no in world 3d environment. It's basically just a chat app. Waste of money. The second life app is way better and it's free...
This app used to run fine but now it will not load a room fully and lags often even on an empty sim. I will change my rating if it starts working again.
Bought it for 3d view, crashes when selecting render someone’s avatar, hangs at 68% loaded. Doesn’t show what people actually look like
Failed to add any avatars to log in with. Just a crappy blank menu for $4.99.
Also includes a pyramid referral scheme to "earn money"...... that screen works.... funny that

So you have to pay $5 for the app and then they want monthly payments for lackluster features!?! What did I pay the fee for? There was nothing that said in-app purchases! This is false advertising! I want a refund!!
Outstanding efforts to make this happen. It’s incredible I can load the world around me and walk around. Works flawlessly. Would love to see land textures load in. Not sure how this all works but I’m sure you know what’s needed.
App is currently unusable due to frequent crashes
Speedlight is ok... but, just. Notifications do not work; the developers are attempting to blame Apple, for their inability to make notifications work. If Apple took it off the app store I wouldn't shed a single tear.
Finaly there is an app that allows you to log into Second Life. The 3d view needs improving but it is there and it works. You can catch up on IM's. I look forward to seeing this app develop even more capabilities. Kudos
Does what it needs too but the layout could be better and actually more responsive when you’re trying to close dms
I paid for the app only to learn I have a pay monthly to talk in local. I also wish there was voice chat. 3D view is really laggy. I think local chat should be free. What’s the point if you can’t chat?
Is a joke and there’s a reason why people keep using the much older and outdated app
This app is very useful and allows me to chat in SL on my iPhone 14 Pro when I do not have access to a laptop. It has most features that I need to experience SL similar to the desktop viewer. Negative reviews as expected from cranky SL users don’t consider the process and difficulty of making such an app. You should see the nasty reviews with no merit on SL marketplace. I have been waiting since 2007 to be able to access SL on my phone. I am baffled as to why everyone thinks the app shouldn’t cost money (true for other apps out there). We should be happy someone is developing this app and they deserve compensation. I see the developers update this app regularly. It is also promoted by Linden Lab as a perk with premium plus membership.
The app is far from perfect but I know it is constantly being improved. The strengths are seamless IM and chat, linden management, being able to teleport and see the 3d world. You can rezz object such as a chair and even sit. You can render your avatar and walk around. Very impressive on a tiny phone screen!
The places needing improvement are as follows. The 3d world doesn’t completely load. You may see distortion and texture problems, especially on mesh objects. While your avatar does render as inworld if you select that option, I see my avatar may have compressed and crossed arm. You cannot really build things or move objects. This would be difficult on a tiny viewer anyway. My biggest problem is not being able to chat or IM at the same time as the world is 3d rendered. The small icon for the 3d world covers the send button so I have to constantly reload the 3d to see full screen rendering.
There are other small problems to be solved and my comments are constructive criticism. I am certain these issues will be resolved eventually.
In the meantime, bravo and keep up the good work. Thank you for making this app.
