The experience offers interesting educational content about the International Space Station, narrated by a real astronaut.
It's a free app, making it accessible for those interested in space and science, especially for kids and teens.
The 360-degree viewpoints provide a unique perspective of the ISS, allowing users to explore its modules and learn about astronaut life.

The experience lacks true interactivity and depth, primarily consisting of low-resolution 360 images and 2D videos, which diminishes the VR experience.
The scale of the ISS is poorly represented, making users feel disproportionately small and disconnected from the environment.
The locomotion and navigation are simplistic and can feel disorienting, with no real sense of movement or immersion.

The story aspect of the experience is largely overshadowed by the recommendation to play "Mission: ISS" for a more immersive narrative. Users find the current app lacking in engaging storytelling, suggesting it serves better as a photographic reference rather than a compelling VR experience.
- “Awful experience, download Mission: ISS from the Oculus Store for a much better time.”
- “But if you've experienced Mission: ISS then this app is a waste of time in comparison.”

- “There's no doubt this may have some value as a curiosity or educational tool, but there's no gameplay; it simply isn't a game.”

The graphics of the ISS experience are praised for their informative photographic references and videos from crew members, but users recommend playing "Mission: ISS" on the Oculus Store for a more immersive navigation experience both inside and outside the station.
- “This is a useful photographic reference of the interior of the ISS and includes very informative videos from crew members. However, to really experience what it's like to navigate the inside and outside of the ISS in VR, you must play Mission: ISS on the Oculus Store first.”
