A terrible death to a fine 360 camera. I'm a Google Guide and this camera is critical to my reviews and tour photos. Neither Samsung nor Verizon are owning or resolving the forced crash issue. Hold on purchasing this product or updating your phone to Android 11 until further notice.

Samsung - 3 years ago

Hello perezil, we apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused. The Gear 360 app has reached end of service. After August 1st, 2020, no new phones will get the app, and it will stop getting updates, so it will be difficult to support the app if new bugs occur. The app will continue to work on the phones and computers it currently supports, however. End of service means that the developers have moved on to bigger and brighter things to support the latest generations of gear. The Gear 360 app will still be around, but if it's not one of the following devices, it may not be compatible or available for download: Android 6.0 to Android 10.0 on Google Play: Galaxy Fold (not including the Z flip), Galaxy S20 (not including the S20 Lite), Galaxy S10, S9, S8, S7, S6, Galaxy Note10, Note9, Note8, Note7, Note6, Note5, Galaxy A9 Pro, A8 (2018 / 2016), A7 (2018), iOS 10.0 to iOS 13.0 on the Apple Store: iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, XS Max, XS, XR, X, 8, 8 Plus, 7, 7 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, SE. You can also download Gear 360 ActionDirector for Windows or Mac OS PC. ^Elizabeth Samsung

Worked once.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Rcvd the 360 with my Note 8. Used it once. The next time I tried to charge it, it will not Charge, or Turn On. I see this is a common problem with no resolution.

Amazing Photos and Videos!

Sunshinejllc00 . 5 years ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

My friends are jealous whenever I post a 360 photo or video. The clarity is amazing and the ability to see 360 when you are on top of a rope bridge or skyscraper is unreal. The battery could last longer (full day) and need a larger microSD so we don't need to download images during trips. I would recommend this product to my family and friends.

Great for family fun

DizzyBone . 5 years ago

Stopped turning on.

Agep . 5 years ago

About a year after I purchased the 360 it stopped working. The camera will not turn on at all. I've tried all the YouTube vids out there nothing has helped. So. Didnt even use it that much either..

Great camera, BUT

Chris . 5 years ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

The camera itself is very nice. However there are very limited settings you can change. This could easily be changed with a software update. Things like shutter speed and ISO can be controlled on the galaxy phones under pro mode or even any regular camera, but there is no such thing for the gear 360. This is essential to take any professional photos.

It is also durable, I have dropped it a few times and it didnt hurt it at all.

Is the note 8 compatible with the gear 360? If not why is it offered as a promo to buy the note 8 and doesn't tell you it's not compatible?

Answer from Gfxfujj xfgujncfh7 years

It is compatible with the note 8. I have both. You have to download the gear 360 app to your phone and it connects it to your camera

Answer from VZBV7 years

Is the note 8 compatible with the Gear 360? That's a great question, and you've come to the right place for answers. The Gear 360 is not compatible with the Note 8. This was a promotion directly through Samsung http://samsungpromotions.com/, so I am not sure why they offered the Gear 360 for free with the purchase of a Note 8. I suggest reaching out to Samsung directly for more information regarding this promotion http://www.samsung.com/us/support/. - John

Why won't it charge

Answer from VZBV7 years

@Fifer It's important that you're able to successfully charge your Samsung Gear 360 (2017) camera. I'd like to recommend some steps that worked for another user. Plug the camera into a computer USB port with the supplied USB-C cable. Wait for the charging indicator light to illuminate above the power button. Disconnect the camera charging cable from the computer's USB port, then plug the camera's charging cable into a wall charger of your choice. This should work out for you. - Anthony

Does the Gear 360 (2017) work with the Note8?

Answer from rmarch517 years

Samsung is currently giving the gear 360 camera away free with the purchase of a Note 8. Hard to believe they would include a promo like that if they were incompatible. Mine shows up tomorrow. :)

Was this answer helpful?

Answer from VZBV7 years

Mit69, that is a great question! At this time, I am not showing compatibility between the Gear 360 and the Note8. You can keep an eye on any updates to the compatibility through the compatibility list located here: https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/gear-360/ - Harley

IronMBo . Jul 4, 2017

Will this cam work as a home security alternative? I would like to access it from my phone if left within the house. Is that possible and if it is what else is needed to make it work? Thank you.

Answer from VZBV7 years

IronMBo, I know the importance of finding a cost effective way to monitor your home while away. This device can work as an alternative as it compact. It does not have night vision which will be useful for a security camera. The device is also only splash resistant so it would need to be covered if placed outdoors. You can look and compare all home security options here: http://spr.ly/64298Uent -La'Sinda
