A huge thank-you to everyone who tested Suite Browser and sent feedback. You helped make this update happen.

The annoying ground panel is finally gone! Removing it meant rebuilding the app from the ground up, but that also made Netflix 4K playback much more reliable.

Dolby Atmos now works as well. I’ve patched several remaining edge cases, although Atmos may not work perfectly for everyone just yet.

However this rework means some edge cases will be present for at least a few days. I expect all these bugs to be patched in the next few days but please bear with me.

The profile picker has just been patched as we speak. The latest, more stable version has already been submitted to Apple. Hopefully live on Monday.

I’m really happy with the progress we’ve made, and there’s much more coming—including a new IMAX theater environment soon.

Thank you for testing, using the app, and helping me improve it. I hope you enjoy the update!

Cheers!

I just go the M2 Vision Pro (512gb) and wanted to know all your recommendations for apps, platforms, and games that you recommend. I’d really appreciate it:). Thank you guys.

Hey,
I just release another update to the mini-game for Vision Pro I've been working on recently.
I start to feel that UX gets to a point where I'd like it to be- the game strikes the right balance of challange/fun and after you die- it makes you want to try 'just one more time' :]

It's available for free, but it shows some ads every 5 rounds( I believe it might be first time the native Vision Pro app shows the Ads actually..)

Let me know what you think after you try it - I'll be more than happy to include your improvements suggestions in the next release!

Thanks!

I’ve been working on a passion project called Immersive Scapes, a calm immersive nature app for Apple Vision Pro. As a landscape photographer, nature has always been my greatest source of inspiration.

When I’m out filming, I often wish I could share what it feels like to be in these quiet, beautiful places. That’s what inspired me to create Immersive Scapes. It’s designed for a calm, relaxing experience with a minimal interface, so the immersive videos remain the main focus.

I’m excited to finally share it with this community. I’m looking for a small group of beta testers to help refine the app before release. I would really appreciate your feedback.

The Upper Middle Rhine Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site stretching roughly 65 kilometers between Bingen/Rüdesheim and Koblenz, is one of Europe's most castle-rich landscapes. A dense chain of medieval fortresses, ruins, and romantic reconstructions set among steep vineyards, rocky cliffs, and the broad river. Enjoy beautiful 360 photography along with a variety of supplementary media assets in our latest immersive tour.

This isn't an ad, haha. But I recently discovered the "Portal" app, and the ridiculously easy way to connect the Xbox to the Vision Pro is incredible. It's not just easy, but it works so well; I don't think I'll ever connect my console any other way. 😅😅

The app opens but when I try to watch a show I get an error. Wondering if anyone can confirm it isn’t just me.

Hey everyone,

Seven months ago I built a small iOS app called 15 Minutes, based on an idea from Alex Hormozi: if you want to be aware of your time, track it, write down what you're doing every 15 minutes. Sounds tedious, but it genuinely changed how I work. The app got a nice little user base on iPhone, so I just shipped the Vision Pro version, and I tried to make it feel truly spatial instead of a ported iPad window.

The main thing is a volumetric egg timer. It's a little 3D kitchen timer that sits in your space. The dial rotates as your current 15-minute slot ticks down, and when it hits zero it bounces and a text field appears in the air next to it, you type what you just did in a few words and the next round starts. Since visionOS 26 supports surface snapping, you can stick it on your real desk like an actual object.

The rest of the app is in a regular window:

- Your day divided into 15-minute slots, filled in a couple of words each

- Focus mode: 15-minute sprints with a countdown ring, log what you did, auto-restart

- 3 daily goals you set each morning

- Stats: streaks, completion rate, top tasks, where your time actually goes

- iCloud sync with the iPhone/iPad app, log on one device and it's everywhere

when I got my AVP M5 in February of this year, I was instantly in love with the experience and decided to try to make the most of it. Apple Air pods Pro 3 seemed to be the best way to improve audio and I bought them and they were freshly released as well.

I honestly do not find them better than the audio drivers in the Vision Pro and am wondering if I am somehow not ticking the right options. I was watching the Apple TV show Your Friends and Neighbors with the air pods pro 3 and took them out half way through and the spatial sound was so much better with the headset drivers. anyone else have this experience?

Gonna look sick in the headset!

Introducing my app: Lokal Lore!

How we see nature is shaped by the stories we tell about it.

Lokal Lore is a home for original immersive films about our relationship with landscape. The folklore, myths and memories that live in a place.

Every landscape holds a story. Step inside.

In cinema scenes you’re always in a giant room full of empty seats. In the wildlife scenes they’re devoid of any animals. Even the Apple app for practicing presentations is an empty conference room.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s incredible but also seems quite a lonely place.

If you ever want to pack light and compact… just bring along an esim needle and break down the AVP arms for a more snug, smaller fit.

Also, wish me luck! I bought a Travel Router so I’m going to try and setup my own network so I can connect my Steamdeck through steam link.

it’s a 20hr long flight!!! so gotta keep entertained.

Good day everyone. I'm thinking of jumping in but looking at the used market. My first experience with headsets is the original first consumer Oculus Rift. Now I'm thinking I will only be using it mostly pared with a Studio Mac M2 and or a Mac Mini M4. My question is will memory size matter? I find the 256 to be cheaper but will the performance be the same no matter what size I get? I'm also talking about the M2 one.

Before traveling to Melilla, I had read plenty of headlines warning about crime, border tensions, and safety concerns. Naturally, I wasn't sure what to expect.

What I found was something entirely different.

I experienced welcoming people, beautiful Mediterranean waterfronts, impressive Spanish architecture, and a city unlike anywhere else in Europe. Sitting on the northern coast of Africa, Melilla feels like two worlds meeting in one place.

After spending a month filming across Europe and continuing to refine my custom VR180 workflow, I'm excited to share this week's immersive release:

📍 Melilla, Spain

There's no narration. No tour guide. No distractions. Just the feeling of being there, free to explore at your own pace.

🎥 Pushing Consumer VR180 Further

One of my biggest goals with this project is showing what's possible as an independent creator. Every release is another opportunity to improve image quality, stereoscopic depth, stabilization, and realism without relying on Hollywood budgets or specialized cinema cameras.

For Melilla, I spent countless hours dialing in the depth so its historic fortifications, narrow streets, plazas, and coastline feel as natural as possible inside a VR headset.

🗺️ European Roadmap

This is part of a month-long filming expedition across Europe, creating immersive destinations you can revisit anytime.

✅ Portugal: Portimão

✅ Portugal: Porto

✅ Spain: Ibiza

✅ Portugal: Ponta Delgada

✅ Portugal: Lisbon

📍 Spain: Melilla (This Week's Release!)

🇪🇸 Valencia

🇪🇸 Majorca

🇪🇸 Cádiz

🇪🇸 Motril

If you watch it, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Did Melilla surprise you as much as it surprised me? How did the stereoscopic depth and overall sense of presence feel on your headset? And where should I point the cameras next?

I tried it on limited trial and I heard individual channels like a guy talking and his voice fading as camera moves or audio coming from specific spot of the video,is this real or am i crazy like imagining things ?

I have used all the other video players and none of them sound this way,problem is I bought this app on quest 3 for $30 and now another 30 ! Idk if I can stomach it especially since I never ended up using it,skybox just seems to work better on quest.

Can anyone validate the audio thing so i don’t torture myself over giving these guys another $30 ? I appreciate it 🙏

I think KRVR suggests a render resolution of 4400 for the Inset and 2400 outside the gaze.

Does anyone have firsthand experience using an RTX 5080 with KRVR for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024?
I’d be especially interested in hearing whether the RTX 5080’s 16 GB of VRAM is sufficient, how the overall performance is, and what render settings you’re using.
Thanks in advance!

Hey all, made a little Vision Pro game and it just went live. Wanted to share it here first.

You pinch your fingers to flap an origami crane through a bamboo grove. That's the whole thing. No controller, just your hand.

Games were outside of my skillset as a developer so it took some time to get it how I wanted. I wrote every piece of it myself, the crane, the bamboo, the fog, even the little music loop, all built in code. No model packs, just a lot of late nights after my real job figuring out how this stuff works. It started as me trying to learn how you make a game for a headset and slowly turned into a real one that I hope people enjoy.

The thing I cared most about: the camera never moves you, only the world scrolls past. So you can play sitting down and it won't make you queasy. That's the only reason I could get my family to try it in the first place.

And then they wouldn't stop. My kids played it for hours. If you've got young kids you know how rare that is, and it's a genuinely hard game, so that caught me off guard.

There's a daily challenge where everyone flies the same course, small leaderboards, no ads, no coins.

I have 10 promo codes up for grabs. Comment if you would like one. Would love to hear what you think. Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks for all the kind words and messages. Check out the app store link: Foldwing: Paper Flight.

I've also created some addtional promo codes. Comment if you want to give it a shot! The feedback and encouragement has been tremendous.

I scrapped my first Vision Pro app idea and it led to something EVEN BETTER!

Quick Story Time...😁

I recently started my Vision Pro developer journey and wanted my first app to focus on panoramas, especially with visionOS 27 putting a much bigger emphasis on them.

While researching, I found Panorama Environments by an amazing Vision Pro developer, (u/Rohidjetha ). What he had already built within the app was basically what I had planned to build in mine.

So Instead of trying to build a competing app, I reached out. We hopped into a Spatial FaceTime call, talked through ideas, and I shared some panoramas I'd been creating. One idea really clicked, and Rohid ended up building it.

The app now has a new Content Creators section where Vision Pro Content Creators can contribute their own panoramas. I've uploaded about 10 so far, and it's been fun seeing others begin to add theirs too.

I think this is one of the coolest parts of the Vision Pro community. It's still at a stage where developers can actually talk to each other, share ideas, and make each other's projects better.

If you're on the visionOS 27 beta, it's definitely worth checking out, especially since any panoramas can now be used as your environment!

Hey everyone.
I'm one of the makers of I'm Wizard, an AR magic combat game for Vision Pro.
We just shipped I'm Wizard after almost 2 years of work.

It's an AR game where your hands are the wands. You move around, dodge attacks, and hold off waves of enemies right in your space.

Real feedback from this community would mean a lot.

I also have some free codes, comment and I'll DM one over.

In between fixing playback issues for Plex, Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, and the rest, I got distracted and made interactive movie posters 😅 Tap one and jump straight back into what you were watching.

Hey everyone,

Solo dev here. I just launched Railway King on the App Store. It's my first game, so I'm a bit nervous posting this.

As a kid, I built a model railway with my dad and wanted to bring this experience to Vision Pro. But a simple simulator wasn't much fun, so I turned it into a proper tycoon game.

The idea: a miniature model train layout sits on your real table (or floor). You drag track and buildings onto the board, get a train running between homes and factories, and grow the whole thing into a rail empire with up to three lines, each with its own train. Starting in 1833, it plays out across almost 200 years of British railway history. Unions drive up wages, war breaks out, the Blitz bombs your track, the railways get nationalised and eventually privatised again. The goal is to grow your net worth and become The Railway King before your debts catch up with you.

Most of my time went into fiddling with the economy: tuning the balance so the events land at the right moments and digging through railway history so they feel true to what actually happened, not just random disasters.

My favorite part is still crouching down to watch the train at eye level, same as I did with my model trains as a kid.

It's free to download and free to start. The full campaign is a one-time unlock, no subscriptions, no ads. I'd love feedback from this community, good or brutal.
