We've just launched the biggest ever update to NotiVR (aside from the name change of course)

Yesterday we announced our name change from PhoneLink VR to NotiVR. Today we're lauching the much anticipated redesign!

This update should be pretty smooth, all of your settings and paired devices will work like they did before the update. Keep in mind that this is still early access software, if you have any issues you can revert back to the 'legacy' branch and experience the pre-update PhoneLink VR app.

NOTE: If you're using the redesign-preview branch make sure you switch back to the default branch

Note you may need to restart your Steam client to see the name change and the new update.

Anyway here's the patch notes!

• Complete rewrite of the desktop app
  
• Updated UI design to match our Android app
  
• Improved first time setup experience
  
• XSOverlay notifications support (requires XSOverlay to be installed and running)
  
• A new VR overlay with matching design
  
• Steam Cloud settings sync
  
• Rebranded app from PhoneLink VR to NotiVR

This has been a huge undertaking for the team at Matterworks and we're so excited to finally be sharing this with you all! But this is only the start, our new tech stack lays the groundwork for many exciting new updates. Keep you're eyes on our Steam news feed and Twitter for more announcements.

We'd finally like to thank all of the beta testers who helped get this update out the door. Extra special thanks to beta testers Moose and Puffs.

See you soon!

As we're getting close to the release of the redesign, we'd like to share another large update with you.

Since the redesign is a huge step forward for the PhoneLink VR project, we've decided to give the brand a bit of a makeover too!

Starting today you'll be seeing the PhoneLink VR name being phased out across Steam, our Android app and our socials, being replaced with the new NotiVR brand.

The NotiVR rebrand coincides with the work we've being doing on the app redesign, which you can follow the progress on via our devlogs. You may start seeing the NotifiVR name popping up on Steam and on your phone over the next few days.

Once the redesign ships, the PhoneLink VR name will be phased out. You'll be able to access the old version of the client via a beta branch which will retain the old name, but new versions of the software will be called NotiVR.
