hellfiknow,
Good start; much, doesn’t work (details below)
Battery burner: it would be very nice if it would work in the background; rather, logs one out.
IMs: A friend can successfully send a message to this app, but a reply from, from it, is not received for upward of 1 hour. I tested this between my PC and smart phone, to be certain.
Transfers: I tried sending inventory item between my two accounts (smartphone to PC & vice versa) & was unsuccessful. LMs do, transfer.
World Map will not load, apparently, except for tiny map in one corner. ‘Loading…’ never goes away.
TP?: Seems, there’s no way to teleport; one is bound to their last location chosen from other app(s).
In my humble opinion, the above listed would be, quite possibly, of critical importance. Good start, however. 😉

AustinWadeS,
Disappointed really.
This app has been around for years now for IPhone. You’d think after being here years, they would finally get it right and make a good version by now. This app has the same problems as it did in 2017 when I last had a iPhone ( yeah got the iPhone 12 pro max). The same exact problems, lots of random crashes, forced log offs and especially if you have a different app opened. The friends list hasn’t bugged out just yet but I’m sure they will soon. The app dinging notification still does not work when having the app running in the background or when off. The list goes on and years later it’s the same thing. The developer has a chance to jump ahead of linden labs and is not going to be ahead when LL gets their own app into the app shop probably before 2021 ends. Anyhow I don’t want to hate, this is the only SL app for iPhone since sparkle has been long gone. Still I can’t help to be disappointed. Hire someone to help you. With that all said I appreciate you having this app available but I question what’s the point if it’s just gonna kick me off.

Latest update locks up after login
On iOS 15.7 and iPadOS 15.7, the latest update locks up, freezes, and crashes after login.
When this app is functional, it is actually very good as it accesses a variety of platforms.

Unusable
Used to work just fine but now I experience nonstop crashing with the recent updates and have given up on using the app altogether. Hopefully one day a mobile version of SL will be possible, thanks for giving it a try!
daneph,
Was good
Please fix
Used to be a great way to get into secon life and at least text friends
The last update broke it so it locks up as soon as you login

TaylorSwiftFan01313,
Needs work
I got Second Life as one of my friends plays music in SL and I came to support her. Once in a while she is live when I’m not home, so I thought this app would work. It did. But it’s gotten progressively worse. It seems to always crash now when going to the Map Chat tab. Every time. On the rare occasion I do get to the map chat, it will freeze up and stay frozen when I start typing. I thought maybe it was because it was saving the chat on my phone so I turned that off, and it still does it. Deleting and reinstalling works for maybe the first time and then it goes back to freezing up again. If it’s not fixed I’m going back to the way I used to do it and access my computer at home remotely
RichFla,
Great to send quick message to friends
Aside from that, the app really needs to stay logged in when running in the background. The only time is should log out is if you swipe up to force-close the app or intentionally log off. Another idea/request; please fix the above, and also look into an easy way to accept TPs from friends (not sure of this is available; I couldn’t figure it out). An easy way to see your current location would be good too.
Update: another good feature would be a way to set status so people know you are not in-world.

Lehman Lime,
Thanks!! About time we have a sl viewer
I have been using metaverse for years and with iOS 11 it was killed off and removed from past history. This apple is still a bit rough around the edges, but in my opinion seems more stable than metaverse has been in years. You can view profiles, send tps, chat with bubbles like iOS. Even the rl tab shows profile pictures there. As long as development continues it show be a great product
GinnyRED57,
Thank you for parcel music! Need to be able to IM non-friends...
Thank you for the update to add parcel music, it’s a small detail but one I missed from the old app. I am also impressed by the ability to see textures in inventory, this actually was convenient for a customer issue I had recently.
I’m puzzled at how to chat or IM with someone not on my friends list, though. How is it done? I found the button to search for other avatars, and I got a namelist, but clicking on the person’s name did nothing when I was on my iPhone just now. I will try again with the iPad and see if it’s any different.
Wow! And landscape mode is working on the iPad! This makes typing a quick IM or group message so easy, as I use an external keyboard.
Thank you so much!
