### "Affordable and great platform"

May 8, 2018

5.0

Price and usability

Pros

The price is pretty low compared to others companies that offer the same services. There is no fee for publishing the tour. You can create/edit them on your computer or in your smartphone, which for me is incredibly faster than the PC.

Cons

You have to keep your account active in order to have your tours online. If you cancel your account or downgrade to the free tier you will be able to have only 3 tours with 3 panoramas each. The platform compresses the images, so if you didn't use a good 360 camera you will experiment some noise on your images.

### "Fantastic value, works great, saves thousands of dollars in video production costs. "

May 11, 2018

5.0

Like any software. The value comes in the ability to make your life easier and better. Great value here.

Pros

I am extremely impressed by the overall quality of the software. It's not a cheap hack and works everytime. Simple to learn and use, I was able to create my first video in minutes. It took just a short time to learn how to insert floor plans. Adding to MLS listings could not be more simple. Hotspots, the ability to tag features with prices and information make it a great experience for the viewer. Customizing icons, logos and contact information for personal branding establishes your authority and brand. Back end management features give you the ability to organize and scale with your whole organization. It couldn't be better.. but it is. Add your own background music, insert Youtube vidoes and even embed 3D models. WOW!!!!

Cons

The only thing it lacks for me is the ability to personalize each video from a mailing list. This would be a marketing advantage, if you are an agent with a list, you could send a video with personalized messages.

### "DO NOT SIGN UP with iStaging"

May 1, 2019

1.0

Pros

None. There was nothing to like. SaaS lacks customer service and the text is misleading.

Cons

Cons: What did you like least about this software? It appears this is a con. I signed up and had a couple of questions. First time the user puts in their phone. If the phone is not accepted, you get this message: SORRY, PHONE IS NOT COMPATIBLE... Unfortunately, VR Maker cannot create good quality tours with your smartphone alone :( But hang on, with the amazing 360° camera bundles, you too can become a VR master! Check out our available bundles here. The text invites you in to sign up but you never see anything about a 360° camera bundle. The software had a message board opportunity. I asked a question. The response said they were out and would answer in three hours. They never answered. When you sign up and it doesn't work out. Beware: You lose your money. They indicate it is their right to keep your money for providing zip, zero, nada services. If they were in the U.S., they would be called Democrats. They believe your money is their right.

### "Great value for the price!"

October 20, 2017

4.0

Pros

The price cannot be beat, especially compared to Matterport! I like that it's a DIY solution so I don't have to hire a photographer, and with the fisheye lens attached to my phone I don't need an expensive 360 camera. I love that I can brand it to myself and use my own logo instead of the iStaging logo.

Cons

There are some stitching errors using the fisheye lens no matter how slowly I turn in a circle. And I don't like that you have to log into the app using wifi. I have a listing out in the country with no wifi, so the first time I went to take pictures I couldn't do it with no wifi. The next time I logged in at home, drove over there, and since I was already logged in it worked for a while. But then I got an error message and had to go back to the home screen and it logged me out. It took me several visits to the house to get a full set of photos. I also wish we could put the custom logo on the ceiling and not just on the floor.

### "Amazing 360 software with amazing results"

May 8, 2018

5.0

Fast, easy way to create 360 degree interactive experiences on the web.

Pros

I like the design and how easy it is to navigate the app. This is what online shopping really needs.

Cons

In order to enhance and personalize the VR experience, I wish iStaging would allow the uploading of 360 videos and audio files in either mp3 or 3D spacial audio formats to your projects.

### "This product is working exactly as we had hoped! It has been easy and fun to showcase our homes."

July 25, 2018

5.0

We're able to showcase our homes to potential buyers and clients before they even step foot in the home. The virtual tour software simply makes marketing the home much easier as you truly get a sense of the space and flow of each floor plan and layout.

Pros

I like that you can edit seamlessly on both desktop and mobile devices. It has allowed us to quickly snap the photos, sit down and edit efficiently at the desk, or edit on the run with our phones. It is very intuitive too. The branding is wonderful and the ease of sharing links and embedding is amazing.

Cons

I would like to be able to add custom directional icons and have the software keep that custom icon/png/jpeg on its server so we don't need to upload each time we'd like to use any custom icons. I believe the current software requires uploading custom icons each time you want to edit. This would allow a more customized virtual tour.

### "With iStaging it's very easy to create 360°-Virtual Tours with a few clicks. Recommendable!"

October 20, 2017

4.0

For me the best option to present 360°-Virtual Tours of our properties. Clients are impressed!

Pros

very easy to use, Basic-Plan is free, free addons, good range of nice incidental music to use for the tours

Cons

The only thing I'm missing: the option to change the colors (would be good for those who use the tours for embedding in their websites, for example Real Estate Brokers)

### "LOVE this gadget! My fellow agents are jealous I was the first one to get it in my office."

May 8, 2018

5.0

Clients are very happy, more potential clients are calling wanting me to video their homes and get the listing!

Pros

Easy to use! Even some people with not as much experience with computers can use it. A smart phone is all you need to make awesome videos and clients LOVE it and are so impressed! I combine these tours with drone photos and my clients are thrilled.

Cons

That I cannot edit photos. I missed a blur in one shot and did not have the chance to go back to the house to reshoot that angle. I would love to be able to edit a photo.

### "Good Concept Poor Support"

October 22, 2017

5.0

If I can get it to work, it will be an awesome boost to my marketing.

Pros

An awesome concept that delivers 720 degree virtual tours. If it works it's a franction of the price of Matterport.

Cons

No start up support. No live chat support. Support is from a time zone that is the opposite of the United States and it's only in the form of emails. Not sure it really works with the rotator that they push. Camera seems to lock up as the rotator is moving too fast. After 5 or 6 scans the camera shuts down. Very unclear on how to make hot spots function. I will get it all figured out but it leaves a poor taste to have to pays for two months of a product just to figure out their kinks.

### "Great app! works well and has a lot of potential, Great customer service too!"

May 29, 2018

5.0

Additional marketing exposure, a new way of generating income anywhere in the world, additional viewer engagement on my blog

Pros

Its a handy tool for travel bloggers like me. It give me the edge against my competition. It additionally helps me generate income anywhere I am in the world by selling tours for real estate and property rentals. The app is fairly easy to use and is in constant development, Improving every month. My viewers find it's easy to use and more often than not keeps them on my sites for longer, improving my rankings. Customer service is very helpful, even to someone that's technologically challenged like myself, They take the time to help and solve my problems, It shows they care! The rotator and lens seem to be of durable quality and have traveled with me to several countries now with no real issues. Its small size and ability to work with my iPhone 6s makes it a great addition to my camera gear. The tours are good quality (considering I am shooting them with an iphone6s), stitching is good too. Don't take my word for it, see for yourself, check out 360playa on FB to view some of my recent tours.

Cons

The training videos leave something to be desired. With better more in-depth training the app would be more user-friendly. I have actually considered making my own training videos for them! I find that the hosting fees are a bit high. Not nearly as high as matter port, but high enough that it hurts the pocketbook if you are not using the app for commercial purposes. one thing that bugs me is that some of the processes of creating the tours are done on the i phone and some of it is done on my computer later after its downloaded. I find it very difficult to use the iPhone to check stitching, and picture quality onsite to see if I need to reshoot a pano. I have had to go back to sites to reshoot panos because of a flaw or because I can be seen in a reflection of mirror or glass. most times this is only noticeable on a monitor screen not on the tiny iPhone screen. This obviously is unprofessional of me and many times it's very hard to get the same light as the original day of shooting. Being able to link it to the app on my laptop and fully operate all the features that need to be done on the phone would be ideal so I could view it and make all the corrections needed in real time on my laptop. I'm sure istaging will fix this in the near future as I can't be the only one experiencing this issue

### "Basic software that delivers a quick and easy solution to creating virtual tours"

July 25, 2018

5.0

It is now an integral part of our marketing pack

Pros

It's easy to navigate and to create virtual tours in a matter of minutes. Uploading of tours is quick and easy, you can then get them out to customers in no time at all. Great for winning business.

Cons

It crashes on some of the PC'S which is frustrating when you are half way through a tour. Could do with more auto save options as you have to be sure to keep pressing save as you go. Can only load 10 images at a time.

### "Probably the better VR maker provide across different touch points and great design - Whampoa"

July 30, 2018

4.0

To be able to resell this service as part of interior business in the fastest and easiest way.

Pros

The ease of use and constant evolving function provides an interesting customer experience, providing equipment with a good service makes this a winning formula.

Cons

The price hike up 3 times after the major update and interface can be still further improved for some bugs with the editor. Unfortunately the 720 lens thou cover more background, the stitching is bad with ghosting effect and unattractive color. A color editor can be improvise to push up the quality of the VR shots.

### "Easy to use great produce"

October 12, 2017

4.0

cost effective easy to use reasonable quality.

Pros

It was and easy product to learn to use and I found the preparation a breeze. Only took 1 or 2 attempts to get up and running. The lens and rotater are great and I think it is an affordable alternative for businesses that do not want to spend a lot of money providing a service

Cons

Cannot link to realestate.com which is important factor and cannot put onto Youtube. I did have trouble initially with losing pictures in upload but main issue is You tube and realestate.com. it can be added but is not highlighted as a feature on the property. lighting is an issue as well

### "It is a great VR product!"

May 8, 2018

5.0

Starting a new business isn't easy, finding the right tools to succeed can be the hardest part. Lets just say my job just got a whole lot easier.

Pros

Pretty Good app, very stable. Takes a few sec to connect to the Rotator and its ready for taking photos. Time delay, HDR, rotation speed and lens settings are the only controls. It allows for full editing of pics, adding makers, nots, and highlights is easy. They are adding new features every couple of months.

Cons

Biggest grip isn't the software but the clamp on the rotator, it barley holds my iPhone 8+ when centering the lens as recommended. an adapter would be nice Maybe an LED lighting setup for lighting up the darker corners but HDR helps No blur edit tool.....yet 30 pictures per project max can be a little low for some of the larger properties but you just have to get creative with your maker placement.

### "Easy to use and great results!"

May 14, 2018

4.0

When a potential buyer has a chance to see a property in such an immersive way it enhances their experience of the property - and if they don't like what they see they don't call and waste my time asking questions about a property that won't work for them.

Pros

The process is easy to follow and the results are great! I use this software to enhance my real estate listings and I find that buyers and sellers alike really appreciate the quality and ease of use.

Cons

It takes alot of time to put it all together, but I imagine similar programs would take just as long, so not a huge deal for me.

### "Great alternative to more expensive options for Real Estate Virtual Tours"

May 8, 2018

4.0

Pros

Affordable and there is no expensive and bulky camera equipment needed. Good smart phone camera needed though - we experienced significant difference in video quality between an iPhone 6 and 8. The iStaging app works well.

Cons

Requires time to put the actual tour together in the program. You have to connect all the individual panoramas and connect them. Easy to do once you figure it out but time intensive. Also, for our purpose in Real Estate, we would like a widget with a video preview & "watch video" option that we can put on our website. One last thing- the rotator piece is a bit flimsy but has held up so far.

### "Over all its a reliable product and we use it for most of our work. Compiling a tour takes long. "

October 24, 2017

5.0

A cheaper alternative to Matterport with comparable output and a little more branding.

Pros

Its relatively good value for money and has some nice info features as well as quick load times and its stable.

Cons

The online editor is terribly difficult to use and slow and cant seem to handle all the features. It takes way to much time to author a tour. I don't like the forced branding on the no premiere version. And the new price increase and three image limit will kill the software off. All our tours are more than three images, that's what allows istaging to compete with Matterport.

October 25, 2017

Hi Jared. Thanks for your review. Please note that the three image limit will only apply to users of the Basic plan (which is free). It goes without saying that all our customers will be able to upload many more than that.

### "I have been using ISTAGING for several months as a real estate agent. It is a very valuable tool."

May 8, 2018

5.0

Great virtual tours for homes.

Pros

Ease of use, photo upload speed, brand & non-branded views, hot spots, 20 views per level, pricing, ability to set the view angle, use of hot spots.

Cons

Really, nothing to complain about. There are a few other services out there slightly similar to ISTAGING but ISTAGING is more affordable and their software has more features and is easier to use. Although one can use their smart phone to take panoramic photos, if a user plans to create a lot of virtual tours I recommend the highly affordable 360 camera called insta360one which costs very less. But, for a start, using your smart phone with their rotator and lens clip is ok.

February 24, 2018

Low cost to get quality 360 views of all rooms for showcasing on rental sites.

Pros

It works well with little knowledge out of the box. It gives you time to get out of the picture. It does a quality job for a low price.

Cons

Sometimes you have to retake the show if it becomes unstable. Would be nice to get an alert that it's unsuccessful before it finishes the rotation.

This is game changing for Real Estate! Previously, I have purchased Matterport tours but now I can create the 3D tours on my own that include outdoor spaces and any other areas that are interesting. The software is easy to use and I'm very impressed with the finished tours. Great job Istaging!

Pros
