I’ve had issues in the past with this app, when the whole Facebook Meta and Oculus merge happened, my whole headset didn’t work. I would go to the home screen and it would show that I had almost half of the system storage full because of “Unknown source.” Obviously the apps that I had bought and previously installed, but they were nowhere to be found. I tried going to the app, but it had signed me out. When I signed back into my account, the app would freeze and then crash. It took me months to figure out I had to create a new account, and lose the $100+ dollars worth of games so that I could buy and play them again. It was a problem that most people had, and yes, I was just stupid and didn’t take the time to google why this had happened, but what frustrated me the most is that I wasn’t notified, I wasn’t told that this merge and user data reset was happening. The app is okay now but casting to it gives lag and awful graphics. When I record myself playing a game with the built-in microphone, the audio is about one second delayed, which annoys me, and cannot be changed using video editing software. I don’t use it a lot, I just check the store and notifications via my headset, which works just fine for me. What I like about it the most is that once you use it to set up your Oculus headset, you don’t really need it. The games and V.R. things function just as fine without it, the only thing you really need it for is after you’ve synced a video from your headset to the app. Over all, 4 stars.

So, I have to say, the Oculus is great. I have an Oculus Quest and it works perfectly, the games are awesome. I love it all! But a couple days ago, there was this strange glitch that happened. So, basically, on that day, I was playing Beat Saber like normal and at that time my Guardian Boundary was a bit tight so I kept hitting it a lot but it was normal. But then, in the middle of a Beat Saber song, this big black glitch-y type thing appeared almost covering my whole screen. I was so confused so I paused the game. It sent me back to the home page. The home page was normal. I was trying to see what that glitch was and I’m like “What the heck?” So then, I decide to go back in Beat Saber. It was showing the title, it went black to finish the loading as always, but the black screen was going on for a longer time than usual so I decided to quit Beat Saber before anything else happened so I thought “I’m gonna just give Beat Saber a break.” So then I go into Vacation Simulator. It was loading like normal but then when I went to the Vacation Simulator lobby the black glitch thing was there again so I paused the game to look at it again. I took off my headset to see if the glitch thing was caused if my headset was broken but it wasn’t. I checked my controllers too. Just for your further research, the glitch first started in the Beat Saber song called Rum N’ Bass by Boom Kitty. I don’t know if it’s just a glitch in the system or it was because my Guardian Boundary was small. Can you please try and fix it? The glitch was a little scary and I don’t want it to happen again. Thank you for your time.

As others have said, casting is nice when it works as intended but many other bugs are annoying to deal with. I’ve removed my old quest 2 after I factory reset it and shut it down and it keeps asking me to pair it even though it can’t locate it every time I do anything in the app now. The quest 3 that I paired disappeared and after speaking with support I had to uninstall and reinstall the app the get it back. Videos of apps and games can’t be made full screen or they just grow cutting off the sides of the content and you can’t rotate your phone. You can’t uninstall apps from it. The account settings, unpairing or deleting devices does not seem to exist. It still shows my Oculus Go that I haven’t used in years from time to time until I click on it so that it can tell me that it can’t be found and remove it until the next random time it decides to pop it back up. This is not really an app I expect from Metas engineering but my guess is that it’s extremely low priority so better to not keep our hopes up. The sound from the casting doesn’t stop if you minimize the app, not sure what benefit this is trying to provide. Phone notifications worked for about 5 minutes on my quest 2 once but never again even on my quest 3. The app constantly tells me that it can’t find my headset that is just a few feet in front of me but when I click into it, all of the current details are present. The account settings lead you to a separate web view with very limited functionality and more frustration than it is worth.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my oculus quest 2 and I enjoy playing on it. Though, I would like more games that support VR. I have heard of other games that support it and I would like to play them on my oculus. Also, I feel like it’s not worth it because we have to pay $299 or even $399 (at Costco for extra storage and the case) for it and we have to end up spending more money on games because most of the good games are payed for. Though, it’s nice that there are sales every once in a while. Personally, I haven’t gotten any games because the good ones are $30. I am also thinking about returning mine because it just doesn’t feel worth it. I’m a student and an athlete. I just cannot find time to use this and if I do, I get bored quickly because of how boring the free games are. My little siblings also would like a free game on there called roblox. So I’d like to see those come for my siblings. If you are a busy person (athlete, student, teacher, etc.) I wouldn’t suggest getting this. Another complaint I have is that I will use it for only 15 minutes and my eyes will start to hurt. I’ve never had problems with my eyes even with my phone until I got this so I don’t know. Also, games that I could get for $5 or less on my phone are way more on the oculus. This is confusing because games like fnaf are only like $3 and are 10x that on the oculus store. I get that it’s very so it’s gonna be a bit more for the experience but that much? That’s too much! Overall, I would just like it to become more cheaper because it’s not worth it spending s lot of money on a single game.
