Ratings and Reviews
Professional grade AR on iPhone/iPad
I have had the pleasure of using this app for a while in beta and have used it on set on numerous CG heavy productions. Indispensable tool for framing up CG characters in real time. This is the real thing from real professionals.
Keep crashing
Not even able to open. I have tired to use it on my iPhone pro 14 and iPad Pro m1. None of devices are able to open it. Will cancel my subscription.
Developer Response ,
Cyclops requires iOS 16 or newer to open. We can't seem to get Apple to report that correctly on the App Store. Also Location Services need to be turned on. For more info: https://cyclops.thethirdfloorinc.com/home/help/device-info/ or please contact us at cyclops-support@thethirdfloorinc.com
