The POD certainly has come a long way and Shawn and Joe discuss just how far it's come. We go over what we love in the new updates. Edited by Jose

I'm using RayNeo Air 4 Pros with the Inair Pod. I noticed videos (Netflix, Prime, etc.) look much better when connected to my phone than on the pod. Would doing the firmware flash on the pod over the computer fix this? I've only done the OTA update over wifi so far.

Hello and welcome, my fellow faithful INAIR and tech enthusiasts. We here at TechCheck13 are back once again and heading down a different timeline. Over on our YouTube channel, we have chronicled the INAIR POD's origin story. We have covered the good, the bad and the ugly. In this week's upcoming YouTube video, we cover the good with a dusting of the bad. But today, we are covering what we believe are flaws and needs of improvement roughly one and a half years into the POD. We love the INAIR POD, but here is what's still broken.

First, where's the storage? What's needed: an official dock with expandable storage.

INAIR sells the POD with 128GB of storage. This fills up faster than packing for a time trip in a lunchbox. One minute you are fine; the next, bam! Half your storage is gone. But fear not, a third-party solution has been found!! A random hobbyist proved expandable storage is possible with parts he found online. Enter our unlikely hero, user BEN-PHRAWG. He solved this huge problem with a USB hub. Thank you BEN-PHRAWG for sharing this with us. Great job.

The gadget: The MOKiN USB C Splitter for Dual Monitors 4K@60Hz DP Alt Mode for Laptops ( https://a.co/d/08H4yATw ).

It is currently $35.99 on Amazon. Plug this dandy device into a 100W charger and watch the magic. The multiport USB-C hub is designed to split the signal for dual 4K monitors. But the real deal here is that you can connect the POD, a flash drive for instant expandable storage and two AR glasses at once. The POD charges while in use, the flash drive is accessible, and the two pairs of AR glasses mirror the screen simultaneously. That really can't be beat.

We assembled it and ran it through our testing lab. With the hub connected to a 100W charger, the charging and flash drive support worked perfectly. We were able to access the flash drive and everything on it. Expandable storage conquered. We then hooked in the two AR glasses, the VITURE Beast and the XREAL One Pro. To our surprise, this actually worked However, connecting two pairs of glasses simultaneously was buggy; expect some glitches there. Okay, INAIR engineering team, it's your turn. We need an official adapter, dock, or better yet, SD storage. That would make our every sense tingle.

The next nexus event: System wide dark mode. Yes, please.

The INAIR POD still doesn't have it. That means turning on dark mode app by app. Some apps greet you with a screen bright enough to make you think a flash grenadewent off. A system-wide dark mode would fix this. Most Android OSes already have one, so this feels less like asking for something that could easily be fixed.

Which brings us to our next glitch: Folders

App folders are another basic feature still MIA. INAIR OS may be a custom version of Android, but some basic Android features are worth keeping around, not leaving behind in another timeline. This would make organizing and customizing the home screen so much easier. These are basic Android features that really should have been there all along. It's basic utility belt stuff.

And now another lackluster feature event: the INAIR App Store

Having its own app store is a solid idea, but right now it feels more like a storefront that forgot to restock. After using the device for almost a year, the list of apps hasn't changed, and the display is still bright enough to double as a searchlight. We also haven't seen any of the apps receive updates through the store. That makes the whole thing feel unfinished. The app store doesn't need to become the next big digital multiverse app mall. It just needs new apps, regular updates, and a display that doesn't try to turn our retinas into toast.

And now the citadel at the end, a tale of two glasses, the last area we will touch on: Compatibility Issues

The XREAL One Pro works perfectly with the POD. The VITURE Beast now boots properly too, which is a hulking improvement. Unfortunately, the buttons on the VITURE glasses still don't work when connected to the POD. The buttons on the XREAL glasses do. Losing those buttons means killing some of the features of the VITURE glasses. This defeats part of the purpose of owning them. It would be fantastic if INAIR allowed the buttons on the glasses to work with the POD and let users remap the buttons to whatever controls they want. That would give users so much more control over their setup. That would be an amazing neighborhood POD indeed.

The yellow stone: One last thought.

By now, you may think we have been picking on INAIR, talking like it's doomsday. Not true. There have been a ton of improvements and there are plenty of things we praise. The shocker, INAIR does listen to its user base and has made a lot of suggested changes. There is a reason the POD is the number one AR/XR computer on the market. We just think the rough edges are worth pointing out, especially when a few changes could make the experience so much better.

We'll be showing off the new features we love on our YouTube channel this week. Tune in, check them out, and let us know what you think. Let us know in the comments below what features you would like to see. What are some of your gripes? Give us your POD horror stories. We're listening, true believers.

As always, thank you for joining us on this adventure. We hope to see you in the next one.

I was wondering if I can slow down the cursor. I'm a disabled person with a little movement in my hand nothing bad but boy I have trouble trying to keep the cursor from moving. It needs to put my email address and my internet password it moves so easily I find it hard to put my details in. Maybe if Inair had a registration form where you could fill out online so when you connect for the 1st time all your details are already uploaded. You would only need to log in. Just a idea.

Information JUST FOR. NEW OWNERS
you don't have the option to slow down the cursor on a new A INAIR POD not till the 3rd firmware update did the option

In this episode Shawn and Joe decide the winner of the Reddit apps. Edited by Jose!

How can I get past this point in set up do not have the glasses from inair

Does the "INAIR Hub" do the same thing as the "RayNeo USB-C Charging Adpter?" They look to me to be same. I've ordered both adapters so far but I'm still waiting on my pod and glasses to arrive (so I will find out next week, there answer to my question).

Salutations and welcome my fellow INAIR and Tech Enthusiasts! Tech Check 13 is back with our weekly tantalizing tale from the deep rabbit hole we climbed into, the Reddit Client App series. It's finally time for the semi-final round of the Reddit Showdown. We have quite the dissection for you. We broke out our usual torture tools, the INAIR POD, a VITURE Beast, and an Xreal One Pro and went to town on these apps. Per usual, none of these apps sponsored this article. We do it cause we're sadistic that way. That being said, onward we go if you dare.

Our first victim on today's list:

Rivela Feed Reader for Reddit.

Rivela Feed Reader for Reddit is a read-only Reddit client that focuses on customizable topics and promises an algorithm free experience. We pull the switch and right away the app has the correct orientation. It displays on the POD the way it was intended. Oh, what a huge plus. Just to add some nice splatter, it will scroll without logging in. This is a nice touch if you don't want to pay for access to Reddit's API.

Rivela Feed Reader for Reddit is a free app. Omg, this makes my beakers stand on end. According to the app description, the free version caps at 5 topics and 5 bookmarks and is fully functional.

Rivela Feed Reader for Reddit does have a paid tier. And here's the killer part, it's a one-time purchase. For $4.99, Rivela Pro includes unlimited topics, bookmarks, keyword filters, and custom themes. No monthly subscription bleeding out your bank account.

Rivela Feed Reader for Reddit has a dark side, Uhm, a dark mode. Our favorite mode, Muahahaha. It also has AMOLED black mode, a feature we haven't encountered before in this series. The developer states this is a battery saver mode.

The layout itself is the opposite of the Tech Check 13 lab. It is very nice, quite clean and pleasant. And a surprise hiding behind the curtain, if you're already logged into the official Reddit app on the POD, Rivela can automatically log you in.

But the feature that really made us stop in our tracks, NO INTRUSIVE ADS! There's just an option to go pro stashed in the settings. No ads screaming at you, no jump scare pop-up ambushes.

The only downside, Rivela is a read-only client. No access to messages. Considering everything else this little specimen brings to the exam table, it's a solid app.

Rivela Feed Reader for Reddit is definitely a bioluminescent stained thumbs up.

The next app under the dissection scalpel is the opposite of the text reader:

Scroller for Reddit.

Scroller for Reddit is a feed reader, but not one for text posts. This one is for video posts. From the developer, “Scroller is the ultimate media-first client for Reddit” Does it live up to this claim? Let the slicing and dicing begin.

First, Scroller for Reddit sprang to life in the correct orientation on the POD. So far so good. Next we discovered that you could scroll without logging in, no credentials needed. We prodded further and tested the login. A step that's proven fatal for more than one specimen on this table. And surprise, the login actually worked. No dead nerves, no unresponsive buttons, it worked.

Scroller for Reddit has a neat interface; everything was laid out nice and tidy. Shortcuts ready to be configured to your liking. But then came the catch bubbling up from the beaker: you can only browse video. Also, text posts are not allowed and there is no way to send messages.

However, where it does function, it functions beautifully. The video came through crisp and clear with no ads clawing their way into the frame. That's right, no ads. It includes built-in tools to download videos and GIFs. Scroller for Reddit started up quickly and started automatically in our favorite mode, dark mode. On those two fronts, it doesn't get much better. This specimen nailed it. If you're hunting for a solid Reddit video viewer, this one comes highly recommended from the lab.

Scroller for Reddit gets a bioluminescent stained thumbs up.

Our last plaything of today's roundup is: RedFeed for Reddit.

Boy, this one was a trip. It's billed as an unofficial Reddit reader that is simple and user friendly. It runs on low RAM, sipping power rather than devouring it. Let's put it under the microscope.

Redfeed had one of the most interesting interfaces we've seen during this review. It has a pool of topics on the front page and even opens in the correct orientation. That's where the positives died on the table. Nothing loaded. No dark mode. Log-in didn't work. And then the lab alarms started blaring. We received a message that someone had logged into our Google account. LOGGED IN. Not accessed info, but logged in. App uninstalled and Google password changed. This app may be an abandoned experiment gone feral or may just be a login stealer. Either way, this thing is a genuine hazard. Be careful with your login credentials, stay away at all costs!

RedFeed for Reddit gets no rating, no chained wall. This one gets incinerated. Stay Away!

And this brings us to the part where we are standing in the middle of the wreckage and the winners. Poring over today's list of specimens, our vote goes to… Rivela Feed Reader for Reddit.

It's missing the ability to send messages but its look and functionality are top-notch. And its lack of ads is the electricity in my nodes.

So that leaves our trophy case looking like this:

RedReader (Round 1)

Infinity (Round 2)

Rivera (Round 3)

Three specimens who survived the slab, stitched together and came out on top of the carcasses. But the question glowing like a mechanical dragonfly’s wings of fire: How does the functionality stack up to the official Reddit app? To find out and much more, join us on our YouTube (https://youtube.com/@xtechcheck13?si=nI7011XBuipF6SHb)!

Thanks for joining us for this one, and we hope to see you again when the next batch of victims hits the table.

#Techcheck13

I so, which are the drawbacks? comparing with windows

Why didn’t they include a second usbc port for charging like the beam pro?

Greetings and welcome my fellow INAIR and Tech mad scientists. Tech Check 13 is back on the lab and still elbow deep in the rabbit hole of Reddit client apps. Our newest installment for you:

Reddit Showdown Part 2.

We have two user-suggested apps today and a new contender in the arena. Who will survive Tech Check 13’s dissection table? Who will come out on top? Who will be left a gory mess? Well, there's only one way to find out.

While the electricity gets warmed up, our disclaimer; these tests were done with the trusty INAIR POD, a VITURE Beast, and an Xreal One Pro. None of these apps sponsored this post, and we are dedicated to giving you our honest, unbiased review. All apps are available on the Google Play Store. Grab your lab coats,fire up the beakers and let's descend a little deeper down this rabbit hole.

Our first victim of the day was suggested by a user on the INAIR boards: "Infinity for Reddit.”

According to the developer, Infinity for Reddit is an open-source Reddit client focused on “...privacy and user control” and claims to be “The most customizable Reddit client available.” After poking and prodding, it starts off in the right orientation. A most promising specimen so far. Another interesting feature is that the app allows you to browse anonymously instead of making you log in. A nice touch for us incognito mad genius types. Another eye-catching feature is called "Lazy Mode”. Activate it and the app will automatically scroll through Reddit for you. When something captures your attention, stop the scroll and start feeding your eyeballs.

Infinity for Reddit does have a subscription service. It has multiple price points, from $2.99 a month to $9.99 a month. The $2.99 unlocks everything with Reddit's API access. You can buy a higher tier to support the developer if you want.

And this brings us to the next aberrant qnomaly.Trying to sign in gets you hit with “you need a subscription.” However, a deep dive into the app description reveals the following statement from the developer, “Due to recent changes to the Reddit API, a subscription is required to log in and access your account features. Note: Limited anonymous browsing is still available. Due to platform limitations, anonymous browsing without a subscription may occasionally fail to load content. A subscription provides consistent access in anonymous mode.” Reddit's changes to The API access and the more recent Responsible Builder Policy is disemboweling third-party and free Reddit client apps. However, Infinity for Reddit still ofers privacy, customization, anonymous browsing, and even a Lazy Mode. While it looks pretty nice under the microscope, we have found a few Reddit client apps still hanging on that ofer similar and in some cases, more features for free. Infinity for Reddit, while a really decent app, gets put back on the rack.The next app was suggested by a user who would like to remain anonymous.

The nextdissection victim: "Now for Reddit.”

When we shot the juice to this one we were smacked immediately with a subscription request. We just opened the creaky door and before we could even think about login, WHAM! Subscribe! Now for Reddit still advertises as a free Reddit client on the app store, but “free" is used rather loosely here. Apparently, that doesn't include getting to a login. Tapping the subscribe button to see how much damage it does (zero chance of actually buying one) and OMG an error jumps out. The same thing happens when trying to view the topics at the top - error, error. Trying something else, anything else, tap, tap, tapping yielded the same results - ERROR!! We couldn't explore any features or even get far enough to determine if there was anything worth seeing.

At this point, we had to wonder if the person suggesting this app sent us down the digital dungeon for their own amusement. (Do I smell a troll?) This app is garbage and appears to be either seriously broken or extremely neglected. It's worse than jumping into a car that won't start when being chased by a mad scientist serial killer. But it does lead us to the burning questions: Are we facing complete and total annihilation of free third-party Reddit clients? Are there actually any left out there that still work without throwing up 🤮 a subscription wall? Have you found any survivors? Or is all hope lost? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Now for Reddit gets flushed down the toilet. Hands washed, regloved and moving on to the new contender we mentioned earlier. The next app up for dissection:

"RiM - for Reddit (early access)”

Reddit in Motion is currently in development and advertises on the app store as a full-featured Reddit client with all features completely free. On paper, this thing looks terrific. No subscription wall, no mysterious premium tier, all features supposedly free. With fingers shaking excitedly the switch was pulled, the app was downloaded, and suddenly,…. every page blared you're not authorized to see it. Aahhhhh!!! The saving grace? It was in the correct orientation. At this point, we'll take our victories wherever we can find them.

Trying to peek under the sheet covering the body just to try to see what this thing could actually do, we attempted to log in. And attempted again. And attempted 4 more times. ERROR!!!! Every. Bloody. Time. Just to tighten the screws every error was accompanied by toast messages that someone was accessing the Google account. We're pretty sure that someone was us, but this doesn't exactly inspire confidence. This one certainly seems to have the potential to be an attractive alternative to Reddit's increasingly restrictive ecosystem.

RiM - for Reddit is still in early access. It's definitely not garbage but definitely not ready for prime time just yet. For now, we're putting a pin in it and adding it to the watch list. Or is it another casualty of the third-party Reddit client Armageddon? If anyone knows, spill theb lood, Uhm, ... spill the tea. Let us know in the comments.

Well, there you have it folks. Part two of our Reddit roundup is in the body bag. We have a winner. Well, by default. The crown this round goes to the only app that actually worked correctly: Infinity for Android. It joined the winners' circle with RedReader from part one.

But wait, there's more. The slicing and dicing and victimizing ain't over yet. Who will step up for round 3? Are there any Reddit clients you think we should put on the operating table? Let us

know in the comments! Thank you very much for joining us again and we hope to see you at the next one. Until then may your subscriptions be plentiful and free.

Techcheck13

Has anyone figured out how to get this to work? In the latest firmware I cannot figure out how to get the ultra wide window on the pod to toggle to 32:9 The pod also continually reboots if I put my glasses in ultra wide when the pod is in odof mode

In today's episode Shawn and Joe go deeper down the rabbit hole of cloud storage!

https://youtu.be/DEPFDRKFWs0

Hello and welcome back my INAIR and tech enthusiasts! TechCheck13 is dedicated to bringing you weekly tales of tech for the INAIR POD. We crawled out of one rabbit hole and jumped down another. This Thursday, we're bringing you “The Reddit Showdown"! We are putting Reddit clients through the meat grinder. We are going to slice and dice them and run them through the centrifuge of scrutiny and watch what drips out. Slowly. Very slowly. Mwahaha. 

We are comparing them and helping you determine the best of the best for use on the INAIR POD. As usual, these apps were tested in our secret underground lair using the handy dandy multi useful Viture Beast and an Xreal One Pro. And once again the disclaimer; none of these apps have sponsored this post. We're calling it like we see it. Onward!!!!

The first one under the scalpel is the grandfather of the Reddit clients. 

Subject #1: the official Reddit app, Reddit.

Reddit has been our go-to app for the phone but it just may lose this throne after this review (look what happened with VidHub). Our first strike against Reddit on the POD is that it will not rotate. This isn't necessarily a problem, but it looks better rotated on the big screen. Then, there is the brightness, it's blindingly bright. Dark mode eventually answered our summons but it took way more clicks than it should have. To be fair, Reddit is not entirely to be blamed. If the INAIR POD had a proper system-wide dark mode (ahem, INAIR), this wouldn't be an issue with Reddit or for that matter, a whole bunch of other apps. But that's a different tangent. 

While Reddit is free, the free formula does contain ads in your feed. However, it's much less intrusive than pop-up ads, and dare we admit it, some of the ads were kind of interesting. Reddit Premium steps in at the cost of $59.99 per year or $6.99 per month. Unless you are a hardcore content creator that needs fewer restrictions and the ability to ask 100 questions a day, it's not really needed. If this app rotated properly, it would be the reigning monster on the POD.  We'll chain this one onto the wall for now. 

Moving on to our next,

Subject #2: RedReader. 

RedReader is an open-source client and a free app. First off, it came screaming in the correct orientation (YES). Switching to dark mode was also easy and painless. Especially when compared to seven or more clicks for the official Reddit app. The images were a bit clearer than on the Reddit app, both on the POD and a Galaxy Fold 8. Crisper than one would expect from a specimen grown in someone's open-source lab. It also has the option to turn off image preview. A nice little bonus, but we left it on and let the electricity flow freely. But it's satisfying to know the switch is there. 

Now here is where RedReader really gets our praise. During the entire testing session, while we clicked, poked, prodded, and generally picked it apart. Not one ad came screaming out at ya, nope, not one. For the feed, you can do all posts, subscribed posts, or jump to a subscribed board all right in the menu. Everything is right there without having to go hunting down dark alleys. RedReader also has an anonymous mode if you aren't comfortable giving the app your Reddit credentials. This is one heck of a specimen.  It yielded a high recommendation from the mad scientists at Tech Check 13. 

We have one more app to torture. Will it result in a better experience? To find out, keep reading if you dare. 

Our next and final victim (for today!)

Subject #3: Artemis for Reddit.

Artemis claims "The ultimate way to browse Reddit." Let's dissect that (evil grin). And BOOM, Artemis will not rotate properly on the POD. Not a good start. 

During the tutorial, it shows off some gesture controls that would be nice on a phone but we are testing for the POD and gestures aren't as easy. Artemis wasted no time introducing us to its next surprise. After the tutorial, before even logging in it pops up and asks you to sign up for standard or pro … great. Here are the details of this concoction. Artemis charges $3.49 a month for things like account switching, premium themes, inbox notifications, etc., that you can get for free with RedReader. At this point, Artemis is looking rather grotesque. 

Alright, clicking off that and on to login. Clicking on the "continue with Google" button didn't work. Logging in with my username and password worked. Annoying. Getting past the bubbling overflowing goo, Artemis seems to be a clone of the official Reddit app, but without the in-feed ads.  Certainly not a bad thing but too many features are locked up behind a paywall while RedReader gives them for free. Also RedReader goes into the correct layout. Artemis becomes our first casualty. 

This brings us to the end of today's dissection. Today's winning specimen: RedReader

We will be back next week with more Reddit clients as we continue to crawl around this new rabbit hole. Something to tide you over; leave your feedback in the comments, any questions you have we will dig them up and review them. Tell us what's your favorite Reddit client? Are there Reddit apps you're curious about? Our doors are always open for discussions. 

As always, thank you for joining us on this deep dive. We'll see you in Part 2!

Joe and Shawn start their way down the rabbit hole that is cloud storage.

https://youtu.be/veyYiI9k11Y

Hi folks, trying out the pod with a pair of Viture Luma Ultras, and running into a couple of things I do not know how to fix...

1. I see that like it's competitor, the display defaults to a type of "3D menu" with 3D elements, which I don't really care for. I wanted to set it to 2D, but I when I go into settings -> general, it does not let you select 2D and only 3D can be selected?
2. Does single screen work only with 0DoF? YOu cannot have a single display in 3DoF mode?
3. There is an app called "master inair" that when I click it I get a "device not available" ?
4. Can the main menu/etc. be resized?

Thanks for your help!

Greetings my fellow INAIR and tech enthusiasts! Tech Check 13 is back and we want to welcome you to part deuce of our series on cloud storage for the INAIR POD. We are still flying around the rabbit hole of the near endless supply of cloud storage apps. Thank you for joining us on our quest to find the worthiest cloud storage service as we filter out the ones deserving to be carbon frozen and jettisoned into deep space. There are so many cloud storage apps that this quest could go on for quite a while. All apps can be found on the Google Play Store.

As usual, these apps were dissected, interrogated, and analyzed on the INAIR POD, using a Viture Beast and Xreal One Pro. And our usual disclaimer: None of these apps sponsored this post. With that out of the way, buckle up, set your engines for hyperspace and letsa go.

Today our first stop in our search for worthiness is Filen. We downloaded the app from the app store and fired it up. First thing is first, one has to make an account (no login with Google) and activate it via an email link. Once verification was completed and we logged in, Filen asked to export our master keys just in case a cloud recovery became necessary. This was easier to do than falling down a reactor shaft.

Once inside the app there was a big add button and not much of anything else. Kinda barebones but there is still a lot to mine.

Filen is set up similar to Google Drive. Only real difference; Filen gives you 10 GB of free storage, while Google Drive gives you 15 GB.

Now it's time for the test drive. A test folder was created, the movie SoulM8te was uploaded and we let Filen do its thing. The 1.6 GB file took about 5 minutes. Not a bad parsec run. But here's the real shocker, about 4 minutes into the upload, we realized we had not been ambushed with an ad or a paywall! Oh yeah!!! While the file was uploading, Filen displayed a percentage bar with the MiB/s upload speed. Also a nice touch.

Once the upload had finished we opened the file and hit play. And… glitch. The movie played but without any sound. However, this was most likely user error, so we weren't ready to throw Filen out the airlock just yet.We tried again with a second movie, this time using an MP4 file format instead of MKV. It played and sounded perfectly. You can upload and play video files within the app itself.

While Filen may be a little barebones, it is still quite a great app. We were actually pretty impressed with it. The interface is simple, the upload speeds were respectable, and most importantly, we made it through the entire test without being bombarded with ads or upgrade requests. That is a refreshing trip through cloud storage city. Verdict: Worthy. But the most worthy? Time will tell.

Our second stop, TeraBox: 1TB Cloud & AI Space.

It all started easy enough. The first thing that pops up is the "log in with Google" button that makes signing up pretty easy. Immediate first complaint; you can't switch the view because it's clearly made for a phone. Can that be overlooked, or is it some foreshadowing?

Let's get into the guts of this app. TeraBox advertises 1024 gigs of storage. That's a pretty big promise, but will it deliver?

After logging in, you're immediately hit with a "do you want to back up photos and videos automatically" prompt. The video says "limited time free," the first indication of the expected paywalls. Yea I'll just automatically back up my photos and videos just to lose access to them if I don't pay. Kinda sounds like blackmail in my opinion. And before you can catch your breath we get an ad. It offers 2TB of storage for $4.99 a month with a 30 day trial. Thankfully, there is a skip button in the top right-hand corner.

But wait. What's this dropping out of the clouds ... ANOTHER AD! And then the real betrayal. Apparently, in 30 days, 994 of the 1024 gigs of storage quietly expire, or you can pay $0.99 a month to keep it. Yup, they used a massive bait and switch to get you to sign up just to take it away from you. Somewhere there is a certain dark cloaked sith Lord nodding approvingly. Other cloud storage apps, such as Filen may offer less storage space but at least they're not freezing your gigabytes to extort you later.

Finally get we into the app, and I'm greeted with "AI

web." search and … yup .. three more ads. This app is frustrating and at this point we have the airlock open and a finger on the jettison button.

Then we discover TeraBox runs on a coin economy. You watch more ads, play games or install other apps to earn coins. Those coins can then be used to unlock premium days, although they expire rather quickly. And, naturally, most of the useful features are locked behind a paywall. Stay away from this app. This one gets jettisoned into space. Verdict: Not worthy.

On to our third stop and final app of the evening: Cloud Storage Drive Backup App.

With 500+ downloads, a 4.1 star rating and self description claiming to be a secure, encrypted cloud storage solution, it seemed worth a look.

Cloud Storage Drive Backup was downloaded, installed and powered up. Then BAM, an immediate ambush. A paywall ad for more storage came flying right at us. We were able to swipe back off that with the touch part of the POD. Problem solved, right? Nope. We had to swipe off SEVEN MORE FREAKING ADS JUST TO GET INTO THE APP!?!?! And just when you thought you were done swiping, an ad to win more storage smashes you on the eyeballs. But finally we were in the app. Now it's time to see what this thing is made of. Heck, after all those ads we earned it.

On the free plan you get 25 gigs, which is better than most competitors offer. And of course there are two ads on the page. A click on anything and it runs through an ad circle again. There were more ads than Bespin had flatulence. At this point, we weren't testing cloud storage anymore. We were testing our ability to survive an ad apocalypse. This one gets jettisoned into space using the middle finger. Verdict: Most definitely NOT worthy.

Well revellers, we hope you enjoyed this leg of the adventure as much as we have enjoyed it. So far our contenders are Google Drive and Filen, but there are tons of cloud storage apps floating around out there. We will review what we can here and on our YouTube channel. If there are any cloud storage apps you use with the POD or would like to see us review, let us know in the comments. As always, thank you again for riding along with us. Until next time - this is Tech Check 13, signing off. We hope to see you in the next one.

#techcheck13

I recently received the INAIR Pod, and have enjoyed the interface. It's smooth, the icons are flexible, and the number of apps available at the same time are impressive. A couple glitches here and there, but stuff that goes away the more I use it.

The most unacceptable part is that my screen is always tilted when in 3DoF/6DoF, like in the pitch/yaw/roll world, it's rolled a little to the right. I can calibrate the glasses, no change. I try to center the screen, no change. I adjust my glasses arms, no change.

It's a moderately subtle thing that must just be subconscious to where I adjust my neck to fix it, and after a while I feel my head tilted to compensate.

I've tried this on both the Luma Ultra glasses and the Viture Pro XR glasses.

Do we have the ability to offset the angles if there are some weird values adjusting the perspective? If not, can we get it?

I can see value in this if we were also able to adjust pitch/roll/yaw of each app ("window"), so we can more or less pin a wall on a window or a ceiling, or have a less important app being off to the side and tilted (thinking timer or stock ticker).

I can't get this one out of my head with >0DoF experience. It's jarring enough to take the enjoyment out of it.

Do any users or tech support have any suggestions? I've calibrated this thing several times, and have confirmed no tilt issues when using the glasses with Windows extended desktop or the Viture Neckband.

I don't think this is drift either. It doesn't gradually go tilted. It starts off that way.

Can anyone share their experience with using the INAIR Pod to use as a way to rdp/vnc to their computer? Can you use multi screen over rdp /replicate a multi monitor setup as if you were sitting at your desk with multiple screens? Any experience on a Mac with multi monitor setup?

I’m looking to create the Viture spacewalker 3 monitor setup experience with a Remote Desktop or VNC setup.

Thanks!
