Enjoy

I really find this app relaxing. I love the fact that you can personalize it with your pics on the wall. I enjoy the virtual traveling to different parts of the world. It allowed me to learn something about those places that i probably will never experience physically. The reason i did not give it 5 stars is that i would like to have more than the 3 outside settings. Also there are these brown doors that i am unable to open. I would love to open and explore more.

Needs option to connect to Kindle,Nook..

I really enjoy Alcove. I love having the ability to relax and meditate by the ocean or in the backyard. However, I really wish there were an option to connect to Kindle or Nook and have the ability to read books on the interactive screens while enjoying the scenery. Or possibly connecting to Audible through the headset.

Thank you devs!

Totally blown away! Most bad reviews here are because the free games don't look like AAA titles and because streaming trips requires 50-100 mbps and people just don't know.. It is an AWESOME project and as many people say there's HUGE potential here that begs to be unwined.. I love the frames and the TV, the fact that some friend of mine can visit my virtual home and see my actual photos and then watch some videos or play some games together and i also love the trips! The fact that i can play 3rd party apps blew my mind even further and i would LOVE (i beg you actually) to see more apps and games imported that way! Ways to customize our place even more would be more than welcome (like puting frames somewhere else, moving the TV or changing furniture, decorating or even themes etc) I'd love to see the books represent our bookmarks or ebooks in the future and even more functional objects! This is a true metaverse home experience and It's a free app, so buy additional content to support the devs for their amazing job!

Fun and Exciting

I really enjoy this app, but the videos in the travel room that are in 180 view aren't that great. It breaks the immersion when you turn your head and see darkness. The 360 ones are so much better. I really enjoy the interactive table, particularly the jigsaw puzzles. Unfortunately there are only 3. There's a message that says there will be more added in 2021, but it's 2022 and that has yet to be updated. Please add more to the jigsaw puzzles, they are so fun and relaxing.

Dream House

I love being inside this house, especially now that I've worked out how to add my own photos to the walls. I agree with some of the other reviews, that more sound effects would be great for the scenery and the fire. Maybe also have it tied to the time zone so that when I put it on at night it's dark outside? What I would really love is a game like this where I can actually design and build my own dream house and walk around inside it. Maybe something that has lots of rooms and modules you can select and adapt to build your own place. But really, I would live in the Alcove house if I could.
