Viso places no longer compatible and deleted from my Go!

Wtf?! That was one of my favorite apps and how is it that apps can be remotely uninstalled against my will? :s

Oh no! Very useful app with lots of potential. Wonder if Google make them do it as a restriction on streetview data? Hope not.

Yeah, it's annoying that it got remotely deleted. I'm guessing the problem is that the controller interface was a bit crappy on the Go, but I'd have been happy to stick with the current version rather than have it just vanish.

Does this mean that any app I've paid for could just be deleted by Oculus at any time?

Exactly. It wasn't perfect but it did the job. Oh I did find it. I had to enable developer mode and go into where you find the sideloaded apps. however that means if you wanted to uninstall it you have to use adb on a pc or it will take up space on your Go. So if a large app is installed and the developer blacklists it you lose the space on your go if you don't have a pc or the technical know how to uninstall it. 😞

Mine is still there too in developer mode. Very confusing but glad to still have the app.

Great news......a new app called Wander does everything Viso did perhaps even better....just released.

Wander is ok but I loved Viso Places bc of the sattelite view on the map. Wander doesnt have that and I cant turn off the menu completely when on Wander. Its MADDENING that I cant find anyone who is actually in charge or who controls the app. Viso was enjoyed by so many people and the satelite option was great. Do they ever read or even get any of this feedback from users? It doesnt seem so.
