I use my 360fly camera every single day. I commute on my motorcycle and it's fun to edit the footage at the end of the day and make Instagram and YouTube video of my encounters. I only use my iPhone and my iPad, so I can't comment on computer requirements.
I upload my footage from camera to my iPhone 6plus every day. I upload it over the wifi signal. Uploading footage this way does NOT use your data on your phone plan. I have a small 2gig plan, and I'd go over that limit on the first day if wifi used the data plan. I'm not sure why other reviews think data is used.
Facebook and Youtube both support 360 videos, again, not sure why people comment that they do not.
Just because it records in 360 does not mean you have to make 360 footage. I very rarely do. When editing the footage in the 360fly app, just pick which direction footage you want to be shown (eyeball icon). Once you learn the apps mechanics, it's very simple. You can move the angle to any direction you want as you watch and edit the video. In "eyeball icon" mode, it'll save the footage in the direction you were watching it. From there, save the footage, and the open in iMovie (or your preferred app) and do whatever you want to the video as you would with any other footage, like from phone, or GoPro, etc. No doubt same thing applies to Android users, save it, then use in your movie making apps.
No, the camera isn't a true 360, but it's dang close. The ONLY direction the camera does not record in is straight down. That's where the mount is anyways, so it's irrelevant.
Anyways, the 360fly is great camera, you just have to take the time to learn it. Once learned, it's very simple to use, much easier than a GoPro (still love my GoPro though). My only complaint is after editing, the best I can get is 720p footage. Maybe that's because I use my iPhone, I'm not sure. I plan on upgrading to the 4K version once funds allow for higher quality. If you're using a GoPro and record in 720p, that's about what your 360fly footage will look like.
Most of the negative reviews seem to be from people who never took the time to understand how to use it. You have to get through the 360 barrier, but once past, it's not any different than any footage from any other camera.
Anyways, hope this helps people. I personally would recommend springing for the 4K model though, unless 720p is good enough for you.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This Linksys RE1000-NP range extender enables you to increase your network coverage with multiple antennas and features a fast Ethernet port that allows you to connect wired devices to your network.

I use it in...:Small home
It's a really easy to install product. Doesn't get any easier to set up. However, it duplicated the router name and password, which SUCKS! The extender does as advertised, perfectly. However, it's kind of pointless. First off, an extenders speed wont be as fast as the original routers, which is fine. However, since it duplicates original router name and password, you are almost always on the extender, which also means you are almost always on the slower speeds. Good reception areas of my house get 18-20Mbps DL speed, and extendeder speed is 5-6Mbps. Problem is extended range overlaps routers range, and all my devices automatically attach to extender at the slower speeds. There's no way to only have items out of normal router range on extender. EVERYTHING ends up on extender, at the MUCH slower speeds. So while now my whole house is in range, whole house is at a speed almost 75% slower than what I had before extender. I will be returning for an extender that can have its own name and password, so ONLY items out of router range will attach to extender. Great and easy product to use, but not at all what I need.
What's great about it: Super easy to install and use
What's not so great: Duplicates SSID

Far Cry 3 is an open world first-person shooter set on an island unlike any other. A place where heavily armed warlords traffic in slaves. Where outsiders are hunted for ransom. And as you embark on a desperate quest to rescue your friends, you realize that the only way to escape this darkness — is to embrace it.

I really enjoyed this. Some people compare it to Skyrim with guns. Eh, kinda, but not really. I enjoyed both games equally, but Skyrim is a much more massive game than Far Cry 3. Skyrim took me months to complete everything, and even then I had to play a new character to get different results from different choices. There's no choices that change anything here in Far Cry 3, and game is considerably shorter, even with all the side quests, which are all pretty repetitive. Map isn't overly large either. I give Far Cry 3 five stars and really enjoyed it, but it's not a particularly large game, especially if compared to Skyrim. Only took a couple weeks to go through it all. I did thouroughly enjoy this game though. Great game and mechanics. My ONLY complaint is how quickly it is over.
Review: Great game, but short.
Also, I wouldn't get for a tweenager. A lot of language and one inappropiate scene.
What's great about it: Fun to play
What's not so great: Short

First off, this is my first Elder Scrolls game, but I am hooked. Game is fantastic and can be played SOOOO many different ways. The main quest is pretty weak, and ridiculously short. But if you ignore that and play the side quests, it's just amazing. And unbelievable how big this game is. The side stories and branches are what this game is about. I don't recommend following main quest too often, or it'll be over before you know it. After about 60 hours, I beat it, but only because I didn't realize how short main quest is (most of those hours were on side quests). Game doesn't end when you beat it, but I am looking forward to starting from scratch and making different choices and playing it differently. I wont touch main quest this time.

SynopsisAs you step through the brush, you sense something is off. You creep slowly toward the river that meanders through this small clearing. You peer into the water and only see your reflection staring back at you. Taking a few deep breaths to calm yourself, you turn around to look up and see a massive monster towering over you. Pulling your sword from its sheath and raising your shield — you look skyward and get ready for an epic battle.Embark on Link's greatest adventure yet with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Full motion control is supported by the Wii MotionPlus accessory and allows Link's actions to mirror your movements on-screen.

I've been playing Zelda since I saved all my money and bought the original back in 1987 at 15 yrs old. I've been hooked and playing them all (console and handheld devices) since then. The original was my favorite until Ocarina of Time came out. Ocarina of Time held the all time favorite title for many years. But now, at 39 years old, Ocarina of Time has been knocked to 2nd place. Skyward Sword is that good. Play is great, story great, etc. They did a fantastic job on this game. I've moved onto XBox in my older years, but keep buying the Nintendo systems just for the Zelda and Metroid series, and I am glad I do.
I highly recommend Skyward Sword to any Zelda fans. It's a fantastic addition to the series. Within the first few minutes of playing, you'll understand what I mean.
What's great about it: Everything. I absolutely love this game.
What's not so great: My ONLY complaint is that after you have beaten the game, when you play it all over again, you can't skip the cut scenes

The game isn't bad, but it's not great either. I played it all the way through because it came free with my XBox package and game I bought XBox for I need wait until Xmas to open haha. But it's almost pointless. If you be the good king (the 2nd half of game you are king) and do right by everyone and keep all your promises, most of the people die and then those that live hate you and you go down in history as one of the most hated kings. Or be the evil king, break all your promises, save everyone, but still be hated because you were an evil king. Game is lose-lose either way you play it. No happy go lucky good feelings after playing this game.
What's great about it: Graphics are kind of good.
What's not so great: Almost like watching a movie with a little bit of EASY game play thrown in.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

OtterBox will replace the case for free. No questions asked. It's a great case. You either got a bad one or a terrible "installer". Doesn't matter though, Otterbox is very good about keeping customers happy. Good luck to ya.

5 out of 5So cool!!!
By Snellygurl
So we had like 3 GoPro cameras. I love GoPro. But I adore this camera. The editing tools on the app are crazy easy to use, the 360 perspective is just amazing, the camera itself is easy to use, it's lightweight, and I am super impressed that they gave us an adapter for the GoPro mounts instead of having their own overpriced mounts you are forced to buy when you have 100 mounts for the GoPro stuck to everything you own. And the adapter COMES WITH IT!!! Am I the only person solidly impressed by that? Anyway, our kids race motocross, we all ride as a family, we snowboard, wakeboard, wake surf, snowmobile, hike, camp, bicycle, motorcycle, go kart race, flat track race and the kids race bmx in the summer. We use this thing constantly. We are out doing something every weekend without fail. We probably need 3 more. I'm just going to strap one to each of them permanently!

Need lot of improvement. Not many social sites can play 360 videos. Even FACEBOOK have no option to play 360 videos. Lack of many accessories. No water floats for safe usage on boat or jetski. Battery need to be charged every hour of usage. No water proof casing.

I was so excited when I finally purchased this camera as it would allow me to capture the off loading of expensive equipment. What a disappointmentX
Uses wifi so you burn up your data when transferring video to your phone. So why not use the computer instead? Read on.
Shot a video that was about 4gb and wanted to transfer it to my new macbook for analyzing. Could not get the stupid camera to connect! Went so far as to tell me that my computer did not meet the requirements.
Ended up returning the camera. Huge disappointment.

Incorrect about data usage.
June 23, 2016
I use my 360fly camera daily on my motorcycle to record my ride to and from work, and I upload my footage to my phone using the wifi signal every day, and it does NOT use your data. I have a very small data plan and my data usage isn't affected at all.
I can't comment on the computer. I don't use my computer to edit footage. I know my computer couldn't process my footage from my GoPro unless I shot in 720p or less though, and I'm guessing 360 footage is a lot more to process, so a higher end computer is most likely necessary.
