upgraded to insta360 X4, it worked for a day, now it won't connect to the camera. message says "something came up, the application has cancelled the request to choose a device". I have clients waiting to have the listings showcased. I'm really trying to play ball with Zillow, but this is trash.
It's great but ... crash after crash. It's very unstable in my Pixel 5. Updated: three phones latest and still same problem. Takes 3-5 minutes before each pano because constantly disconnecting from camea. I use my old iPhone and it's a little better but I have no internet in the iPhone so I often forget to upload the tour until next day.
won't allow exclusive use of smart phone camera. don't want to rent or buy a 3d. wasn't clear this was the case. useless app. ended up recording and editing a video instead and it looks better than this would produce
Android app is better in all ways then trying to use an ipad tablet for me except for some reason it'll randomly pause upload and refuse to unpause for 12 to 24 hours now matter what I do. It did not used to do this. It has done this for 2 listing so far. In real estate 12 hours is too long for this to be up in the air on if it's going to upload or not. I hate Apple and will never purchase their products. Make the android app better on upload and camera connection.
Terribly broken. I completed my home tour after about 20 minutes of work. But I can't upload it without an address. It shows my address correctly in autocomplete but tapping it says they couldn't find it and to contact support. Naturally the email address they give you to contact support is bogus and bounces. So no customer support and no way to upload.
You guys really need to work on reliability. I prefer zillow to matterport by a long shot but every 2nd to 3rd tour has issues. Stops uploading ect. Build some redundancy in please. I'd even pay a subscription for a more reliable version Update several years later. It still sucks. Matterport works. Consistently. How do you make no positive changes but also make your product LESS reliable? I'm a software engineer bro.. how???
Glitchy, buggy app. It's fine when it works but 80% of the time I have some serious error when trying to upload panoramas or publish the tour. Oftentimes the only recourse is killing and restarting the app or the phone multiple times. It easily adds an hour to would-be 20 minute jobs when I shoot, for example, a condo. I know they will respond to this with something like "We'd love to know more, email us" and I'm happy to do that if it makes the app better. As things stand, 2 stars.
*Update: Emailed them w/ details- no response. Don't waste ur time if you plan 2 use a phone for the tour! I used an Android phone (which app allows) to get room shots. It a long process b/c you have to reshoot any unlevel frames. Previews looked good so I submitted. Got a tour back w/ huge black circles at the top & bottom in all rooms, which weren't in the preview or the apps Android example. Emailed for help & they just blamed it on using phone and not buying the $400 camera they sell.
Using Galaxy S22: The dialog box with option to use android camera disappears within hours after install... leaving me stuck with a screen telling me to connect a 360 camera... can't proceed from there. I tried starting a new tour, rebooting, etc. Only thing that works is reinstall. Then I might see the option to use android camera. FRUSTRATING! Please add a clearly labeled button allowing overide of the default 360 camera setting. When it did work with android camera, it was quite nice!
When downloading this app, one would expect the same feature-set as the iOS app - having the full capabilities of capturing a 3D tour on your phone and adding it to your listing. Instead, you get a limited-capability app that is totally useless for most people as it cannot actually be used to capture 3D tours like the iPhone app. Instead, you have to actually purchase an expensive 3D camera to use the android app. This app should be taken down until such time it can use the phone camera to work as most people expect it to. This is a real disappointment from Zillow.
