Good one

Takes time to get used to the UI and controls but after that this app is real good.

Best VR player in some regards

It's best VR player in some regards. And I've tried a lot. The best feature for me is ability to crop video and together with passthrough environment you can have MR experience to avoid VR sickness for 180/360 videos. The only other way to do it is via Virtual Desktop FOV tangent 0.4 0.4…
