“The way each one represents the music has layers that really send you on a trip.”
“It is just a music visualizer and nothing more.”
“I've tried several music visualizers for VR and the others either didn't let you play your own music, only let you select one song at a time instead of a directory or playlist, or simply didn't work at all.”
“My only real criticism is that I wish it were easier to play your own music from within the app, rather than having to play it in the background.”
