Ratings and reviews

Constantly tells you to take your phone out of headset or shows non split screen instructions or closes the app. Gave me a ton of issues, especially with not having a Google vr headet. Not to mention it requires Daydream, which I cannot use without the motion controller. I almost enjoyed it, but it just kept going to my home screen, over and over (and it was hard to reopen the app without taking my phone out of the headset.) Just supremely frustrating and more trouble than it's worth.

Most videos freeze after about 3 seconds. But the 30 second ads never do. Pretty obvious that YouTube is an Ad platform that sometimes lets you watch the video you came for. The least problems I have with YouTube are on a desktop PC with an ad-blocker running. Garbage business model. They try to charge more for audio playing in the background on mobile devices. Fix your trash Google.

Amazing start with curved screen option and viewing of live streams and the option to watch with others-very cool. I wish for live streams it had chat in a second window, and a way to find videos others are watching already- perhaps it's there but I couldn't find it. Otherwise, great VR video experience. I enjoy watching Fortnight streamers with a large, curved screen making you feel like you are in the game in 3D. Only could be better if Epic provided a true VR view for those watching allowing you to look where you want rather than where the player faces. Interface is easy to use and I enjoy the app. It does what it needs to.
