Ratings and reviews

Lately I can't even look at games in the store. It says "Something went wrong" and I have to back out. It also loves to get in a weird state where it opens a random store game 3 layers deep and so I have to hit the X button 3 or 4 times. The casting functionality has been in poor state for years where you can't see most of your games in your library to launch on the headset. Meta's "move fast and break stuff" motto is in full force here leaning particularly hard into the breaking stuff side.

The app does what it's supposed to for the most part. It's just slow as sin. I can stream 4k video from YouTube off my data just fine. This takes me about 5 minutes to load 2 seconds of 1080p video. It takes forever to download the videos as well and sometimes will just stop in the middle of downloading. This should be convenient but it's less of a hassle to just upload footage to Google drive through the headset's browser than using the official app. It's a shame.

I reached out to the support team and was offered a new device which does not solve the issue. I can get multiple new devices, but if I can't get past the apps safety video step, then it doesn't matter. Till the app either fixes the video to stop looping and allows me to continue the setup or make it so it's a skippable step, then I have a giant paperweight. I had no issues with the older version of the app.
