Meta Quest

There is LOTS of things that I hate about the app but a little about the quest 3. One thing, (that I really want you to know) WHY CANT YOUR CHILD HAVE DEVELOPER MODE FOR PLAYING GAMES?! LIKE WE MADE ONE! PLEASE, I WASTED 10$ ON A GAME THAT NEEDS YOU TO HAVE DEVELOPER MODE, I WANT YOU TO FIX THIS! And your honing to be like, “why can’t you just refund it?” NO I WANT YOU TO PUT SOMETHING ON THE TOP FOR ALL GAMES TO SAY DOESNT NEED DEVELOPER MODE AND DOES NEED DEVELOPER MODE. PLEASE, STOP TAKING OUR MONEY WE GET IT!! For the app, you can’t resend the permission if your a child, also if you wanted to resend a permission, you needed to block then unblock your child, and sometimes it brings your parent through like a loop x3 when trying to purchase something for the quest. And if you wanna start downloading it, you need to wait for your your parent to accept it and refresh the page and click “Add to VR” which is just dumb. Another thing is, don’t expect real people to email you on CHRISTMAS when YOU email them. Also, I’m okay with the battery life but please fix it to tho. With that, FIX SOME OF THESE THINGS. BUT DEVELOPER MODE IS A NEED TO.

Casting is clunky. Screenshots and videos for games won’t display in landscape view, even though they’re oriented in landscape view. Will get trapped in full screen mode with no way to back out so I just have to close the app entirely (there is an “X” icon but tapping it does nothing). Games purchased by one user not available to the other user. My wife bought the oculus for me (yes I call it oculus because meta is a stupid name) and she bought several games with her profile before giving me the machine. Then I made a profile and bought games, and now we need to switch back and forth between profiles to access the different games bought by each profile. So dumb. Connecting with friends in the oculus is way more clunky than it should be. We always have problems. For example, we’ll both send invites to each other and they don’t come through for either party. Sometimes we’ll join a party and the audio isn’t working, so we have to power off and try connecting again. I never have these problems on my Xbox/PC/PlayStation. The oculus is super fun and has a ton of potential! It has so many bugs though. I’ve had to factory reset my device twice because of bugs that don’t go away. The most recent time was because the grid (the boundary of the oculus environment) would not go away. Nothing except a factory reset fixed the problem. There have been many other bugs, those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

The app is presented to the user in a useful and intuitive way, but lacks execution. Exhibit A; the recently added Mixed Reality Camera (a feature which made me immediately re-download the app). For those who don’t know, this gives the user the capability to record yourself in your surroundings in VR, with augmented-reality capable phones (iPhone 7 Plus and up)*. This feature just doesn’t work. The app in the headset tells me to use the phone and the phone just casts, doesn’t offer anything else where everything should be. Exhibit B; the phone notifications. This feature works maybe 60% of the time and refuses to let me unpair the headset to the phone via Bluetooth when I need to repair it (I CANT DELETE THE HEADSET FROM MY BLUETOOTH), which I need to repair the system if the notification flow to the headset stops. This is a pity as this capability was added a while ago and still hasn’t really been patched. At this point this app just gives your headset a bunch of half-baked capabilities that only work half of the time. Wouldn’t suggest use after you’ve gotten past initial setup of headset. *in the instructions it says iPhone X and up, but the supposed capability is aligned with the 7 Plus, and has been seen in other instances working as well as the new phones. In short, there’s 0 reason why this shouldn’t LOAD, not that it should work or connect.

I e seen many 1 star reviews that make no sense. They are rating the app based on their experience with their headsets. If I were to review the Oculus Quest it would definitely get 4.5 stars. The app however gets a full five stars as it does so much cool stuff. My favorite thing is being able to check my battery while charging my headset. Also being able to see if I need new batteries for my controllers is awesome. I know those data points are on the Quest Menu Bar but when your charging you may not have the Quest available to check so you can use the app. I love that I can buy and install games directly to my headsets from the app too. There are just so many cool things this app allows you to do. I’ve seen lots of tech and I’m not easily impressed by tech nowadays however the Oculus Quest and this companion app have highly impressed me. I haven’t been wowed like this by tech since I first wrote a program in basic back on a TRS-80 (Trash 80 for those who remember them) in the mid 80’s(I’m old I know). Thanks for an exciting and joyous experience both in the app and on the console.

This has got to be one of the most excruciatingly frustrating apps I have ever worked with. The casting is extremely laggy, even on my brand new iPhone 12. If I got a dollar for every pixel in the casting video i’d have 2 cents. Not to mention it runs at about 5 fps. At one point, my casting stopped working completely. The entire screen would freeze and I couldn’t even close out of it. I tried rebooting my phone and VR and working with multiple of the provided troubleshooting methods featured on the Oculus website. Nothing worked. Eventually had to delete the app and go through the horridly long and painful login process all over again. A few times it will completely log me off of the headset for no apparent reason, and as a regular VR player this is extremely annoying since the account is under my dad’s facebook, and I don’t have his log in. Since I’m 13, of course he won’t give me his password, but I’ll deal. Sometimes the app refuses to connect with my vr and says its dead even when it isn’t. I can’t say “don’t get this app” since its a necessity for people with an Oculus, but just a fair warning: be prepared to deal with constant bugs and glitches, poor casting performance quality, and unexplainable occurrences.

Anytime I attempt to try to sync up to my quest with the app it almost always fails, there's so many settings that have been removed with radio silence as to why. I've spent the past 30 minutes trying to find how to disable the massive record button when casting to the phone. There used to be something in the settings to remove it but it seems to be completely removed and is nowhere to be found. I've had to reinstall this app and reset my quest numerous times because the app decides to break and doesn't connect to my quest regardless of what I do. This app and the quest are the most mind numbing and infurating pieces of techonolgy I've ever endured. After days of trying to cast to my quest the only way I've managed to is to completely close the app and cast to my phone through the quest and use the popup as any other option fails, trying to cast to my smart tv is the most frustrating thing and won't even pop up after setting ip screen mirroing on it and rechecking every possible reason as to why it wouldn't work multiple times all to no evail. I just want to be able to enjoy my quest without spending 2 hours everytime I want to play it troubleshooting. Please fix the app.

I was using my oculus quest 2 headset for around 6 months when out of no where my facebook account, which I created for the sole purpose of using the headset was banned. I tried to get this fixed, but thats when I realized there is literally no way to access customer support. Any option for customer support redirects you to their awful website which just gives you pointless tips on how to fix common issues. I tried calling their “support number” but it just says we no longer provide customer service. Now my oculus is basically just an expensive paper weight since I can’t switch to another account without first logging into my current account. I following some of the pointless customer support tips they provide and factory reset the oculus so that I could at least use it even though I would lose all of the games I bought and even that didn’t work. I emailed every customer support email I could find, but none of them have responded. I feel complete stuck and don’t know how to continue. If I could rate this less stars I would. I really just want to play VR, but this process is just awful.

My son received an oculus for his birthday last week. The app has me stuck in a login loop. My husband is having the same problem on his phone. Guess what the support team does? They send you an email at midnight every one or two days telling you they’re trying to help you. I played along for a little while because my son was so looking forward to having an oculus and joining his friends in games. Instead, they asked me questions again and again that I already stated in previous emails, and no one has said anything more helpful than “restart your phone” or “delete the app and download it again.” I spent quite a while on the phone with Apple’s customer support, making sure it wasn’t something on my device/software causing the problem. They were very helpful and we did all we could. It very much appears as though this is a Meta Quest app issue. no one has called even though I live chatted for 45 minutes and repeatedly asked for someone to call. And even though I requested an email for someone to call. Of course no call just emailing back-and-forth occasionally. I wish I knew how to reach someone and get help!

I love my Oculus, however the social tab on my app on my iPhone will never load so I cannot see friends or chat messages….even when it tells me there is a notification. There is the same error every time that says “Unable to load. Please try again later”. This has been going on for weeks, so I decided to contact oculus support. After 30 min of searching I realized that they have no phone support number, so I resorted to the chat feature. Clearly a chat feature doesn’t have as many capabilities as phone support so after another 30 minutes, I was told they have no clue what is wrong with my app and were sending it to be further investigated….and that I would hear back by email (not phone of course) in 3-5 days. I’m disappointed in the lack of support available for devices that cost $400 a piece and their associated app. App support needs to be available, as the techs seem to only know how to support the devise, not the associated software.

Went to get on one day and it had randomly logged me off. Considering that it was a year after I created the account and I don’t always write my passwords down (mainly because it’s 99% of the time the same password) so I didn’t think anything would go wrong. I entered my typical password and it didn’t work. I created my account with Facebook, and, amid trying to log in with that, it said my password had failed too. So, like anyone in my situation would do, I went to create a new password. IT TOOK ME BACK TO FACEBOOK. If my password didn’t work for that and I hit “create new password” why would you take me to something that needs my password?! The whole process is ridiculous and half the time doesn’t even recognize my email. I’ve tried the phone number route but it never recognizes that either. Considering that this is a $400 electronic, I’d assume the app that went with it would be able to log me in. And yes, I had it to always log me in. I have been attempting to log in for 5 months now and nothing has happened. If you’re going to make someone spend a hefty amount on something you made, make it work. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!

I’ve been playing VR for the last 4 years and have NEVER had this problem before. On a Wednesday I was playing games totally fine and everything was going smoothly, then on Thursday I go to play some more games when all the sudden I couldn’t log into ANY multiplayer games at all. The internet connection was fine but I couldn’t connect to any multiplayer servers on any multiplayer game. So I had to hard restart my headset and then retry everything as if it were my first time buying/playing VR. NOW, I can’t even connect my phone to my headset because of this app. There’s no way to delete the headset off your account to then try and add it again, so you’re stuck restarting WiFi, phones AND the headset just for it to tell you “Unable to connect” The VR community is bigger than we think, so seeing how pathetic this app is and having troubles signing in online is VERY disappointing and making me not want to purchase anything of theirs in the future. PS: Oculus support won’t help you either. They’ll just offer you to pay $150 for a new headset to see if that works rather than solve the original problem.

I love this app, the oculus quest 2 was released so recently and we got one on the 24th of October 2020, I love this app and what games have to offer, but I think it’s missing one game that I really want to play on VR, and that is Island 359, yeah sure it’s on the app but only on the Oculus Rift and Rift S, and that’s a Headset that you need a pc for. I very much wish Island 359 was available for purchase on Oculus Quest and Oculus Quest 2, other than that it was amazing, I remember downloading the app way before and found out you need a Facebook account to get into the app, then I uninstalled the app and when my sister got the headset, she had installed the app and I forgot about the matter. After some time, I decided to download the Oculus app once again and at that time I didn’t realize that I had installed the app before so it was reinstallable at the time. I love the app and funnily enough I also found out that one of the games known as “Rec Room” was on VR, PS4, PC, and Mobile, I laughed a lot at the time.

So a while back I accidentally added a password onto my headset that I ended up forgetting, I pressed on the forgot password in the vr headset and it told me to use the oculus app to fix it. I tried countless times to pair the app to my headset like it says but everytime the headset is off, on the app it shows all the settings I need but the headset needs to be on. But whenever I turn the headset on all those in app settings that I need disappear, so I thought there was a problem with the app because I can’t do anything without the app. So I deleted the app and downloaded it again to see if that would fix it, but I had the same problem I had a few years ago. I would try to log in with my Facebook account like normal, and I would get to the final part and it would say “you merged this account with Facebook. Please go back in log in with Facebook” I don’t know why it says that when I pressed all of the Facebook options. So I haven’t been able to get into the app for over a month now and I haven’t been able to use my 600$ headset once again. I just need help because I’ve tried everything and I just want to play vr.

A couple of updates ago the iPad UI got really big, you can only see 2-3 items without scrolling. That’s just way to big for 12,9” devices. The top banners are cut in half so you can’t see what they are. When doing a search on the iPad (on the 12.9 pro and prolly the 10.5” pro as well), nothing shows up. You have to tap the search field again, then a small part of the screen shows a cut off/squished box with the results. Would like to see ability to update apps/games (on Quest 2) from the app. Would like to see available Quest 2 storage in the app. Would like to be able to uninstall apps/games from the app. Some other things, but most of all the iPad UI needs an overhaul. Even simple things like swiping left/right between game images, instead of having to open and close each image (this part of the app have a tendency to bug out, forcing you to kill/restart the app). Also…why hide the wishlist inside the account settings?

So I bought the oculus quest awhile back and I’m trying to get it to work but it’s not and I don’t think it will ever this is probably the worst vr ever period like for instants say you want to pay for a game you’ve been really wanting well you have to put in pin you most likely have already forgot well if you want to rest it you have to not use the app no no you have to use a website not the app nor the vr you bought and rest it but wait you forgot your password too well you have to find the link that will take you their and after doing so you need to send a link and either two things will happen it will send a “link” but you’ll never ever get it or it will just say something to the extend of saying you have merge with your Facebook and do nothing so if you read this don’t forget your pin because if you do you will never play a game ever no matter what also if anyone could help me I would be very happy to except it but this is still by far one of if not the worst ever vr system ever and will always be no matter it is total garbage and that is were it will belong

My review is strictly for the app, not my experiences with my Quest 2 or my opinion about the Facebook corporation. Being able to cast from my headset to my phone is awesome and works most of the time. My problems lie with the other functionalities of the app. Why on the media gallery can’t I delete unwanted videos or photos? When I click on the media there is a garbage can icon but nothing happens when I press on it (bug?). Another issue, I’m on my 3rd headset (had problems with the other 2) but there’s no place in the app to remove those old devices in my Meta account so all 3 are always on the cast screen with no way to differentiate the active one. Also, while navigating through the apps screens, I often find that there aren’t any back button (more bugs?) so I’m constantly hard closing the app just to get back to the Home Screen. It’s just really sloppy bugs that shouldn’t be there with a little bit of QA.

It’s a good app and it’s cool how you’re able to cast things from the VR headset, but the app itself is just unconditionally laggy, and I’m not the only one with this problem because it’s not my phone. When I move to different locations, such as settings to home or whatever, it buffs and consistently pops up the “enable Bluetooth” screen over and over again each time I attempt to do something. For some reason there’s a bug that causes the app to always display 9 notifications, and I’ve searched the entire application, it’s settings, marked news as read, double checked the news, delete and reinstall the app, but they wouldn’t go away. I’ve been stuck with these problems since I’ve had it, which was when it first came onto the AppStore I believe, and there’s been plenty of updates, yet none of the major bugs for me have been updated.

You see other reviews saying it's So bad it's not! I got a VR for Christmas and we have been using this app and it's GREAT! You can watch what your VR is doing when your on it. And you can buy games on the app. And you can buy games in packs for less money it's GREAT! Also one time I was playing a game on my VR and my dad said I had to get onto a different game so we could play together and I didn't get off so he went on the app and pressed the game we wanted to play together and pressed start streaming or something like that and my Vr can go to that game. This actually did not happen but that's something the app can do! This app is so good and helpful! And there's no problems with this app! I highly recommend this app if you have a VR! And you dont have to pair a VR you can just look at games if you just want a VR! So I hope this review was helpful!!

For a socially focused platform, you’re not able to share links to games in any form, making it difficult to get friends into games you may think they like. This app REFUSES, ABSOLUTELY REFUSES to let you use it without your phone’s Bluetooth turned on making a VERY simple task of allowing to you browse the oculus digital shop the most task possible with its REPEATED demands that you turn on Bluetooth. Also to anyone that may want to purchase a headset for their family to use, Facebook does NOT allow multiple accounts on a single headset. On that same note be prepared for MANY problems if you buy a headset for a child as they will need their own Facebook account, which is AGAINST Facebook’s TOS if said child is younger than 13. AAAAND be prepared to have more problems if you create a new account for said child, as they may get flagged as a fake account if you’re creating your child’s account just for the Oculus Quest which can be banned and lose access to all purchases.

I got the app to see what it is and how it works. From what I've seen, it's very polished. Everything seems to be working. So why has the app not given me an alert to either allow or block push notifications? The notifications themselves inside the app work how they're supposed to, but I don't get notified outside of the app. Everything is checked to ON for the Mobile switch for each and every type of notifications in the appropriate settings in the app. I shouldn't have to be paranoid and check the app every few seconds to see what my friends are texting all because the app didn't initially tell me to allow notifications. The setting doesn't even exist in iPhone settings, it's not available. I reinstalled the app too, but came fruitless. I am completely softlocked from this simple bug. This NEEDS to be fixed. Even FACEBOOK has more functional working notifications than this.

As much as I love the Oculus Quest 2 there are a lot of glitches not only on the headset, but the app as well. I’ve been using my quest 2 for the past year and a half, some of the glitches that have raised concern are as follows; I haven’t been able to cast to my smartTV all year, which hinders gameplay when company is over. The most recent update has helped a little with the glitches but not by much. My ability to cast to my smart TV is a huge thing for me as I love entertaining and playing my Oculus with friends. Some of the other glitches arise in the different games that I play or even while chilling in the lobby in VR. The Meta Quest app is also very glitchy. I am unable to rotate the screen, send messages or respond to friend request. Most of the command buttons do not work, and when I cast to my iPad, it consistently freezes. Please fix these issues and any other ones here in as soon as possible.

They make some really good vr stuff and they have a really good motive that other vr companies don’t have there ai I talked to today and asked some questions about my quest 1 and 2 that have some problems and the quest 1 doesn’t work for some tech problems and the ai gave me ways to try and fix them and a lot of helpful information tyen I asked what would be a good recommendation from what I have it about my vrs and it gave me ways to fix them and to get to support it never once tried to tell me to buy the quest 3 even with all my problems on my other headset and unlike other companies that I have tried this to they just told me to buy there new vr headset or to just by a new one there’s out here to help so always fell free to ask for help

After having my vr for over a year now I’ve been experiencing some issue. My phone has this thing that is some what deletes apps for more space, the apps that I don’t use much. And Oculus was one of them. I only use it for pairing and stuff. After I deleted it and needed to reconnect my new controllers. I had to sign in. I would click continue with Facebook and then it would tell me to sign into it and I did my Facebook account it tells me that I have an existing Oculus account. Then it tells me to merge them together. To confirm the merge you would have to put your password. And I did but then it says that it’s already merged and have to log in with Facebook. If I do that it keeps repeating the same thing over and over the amount of times I try. Till this day I’m playing with broken controllers. Btw this happens on every platform I try to log in with. Help!!

This app this headset these games, OUTSTANDING! The quality the support the community OUTSTANDING! I could go on for forever about all the awesome features. Legitimately the only thing that I wish you could do without going through a step by step progress on how to download like 5 things just to listen to music in the background while you are playing. If you would respond it would mean a lot to me. I love your work it’s the best headset for vr by far. You guys blew it out of the ballpark. I had my oculus for about 3 years now. (Quest 2) I really didn’t realize all the different stuff you could do, from playing tag as a monkey with no legs or play have almost like light sabers and cut boxes in half while you can vibe to songs of all kind like Bad Guy by Billie. The point is this game this console this everything O-U-T-S-T-A-N-D-I-N-G.

Between bugs and poorly documented quirks, this can be so aggravating. What to fix (Aug 2020): social icon is a black hole. Doesn’t work and have to force close app. Pairing is super weird sometimes. This app tells you to go to Bluetooth settings, enable and pair. That may not be correct. Check the oculus app settings (hard to find) and enable every thing. There are too many ways this fails, so better documentation and trouble shooting would make sense. The headset has its own issues I could leave out such as crashing/freezing while in the store! It updated without me knowing, remained in loading (ellipsis) forever. Then I couldn’t see the controllers as it went into a new tutorial of old features I couldn’t skip. Please focus on stability before adding features. I’m a sr sw architect. This is poor ux, but I will compliment for making it slightly better a year or so later. It would be great if there was documentation on how to make the best of PCVR. The app says Rift and Go, but not Oculus. Update the descriptions. I’ve seen this in many other places like Steam. Idk what works or not.

I used the oculus air link for a while before it stopped working and just kept showing me the three white dots for loading, I’ve tried a majority of steps to fix the issue but none of them worked, and when I watched the video on how to set it up, it said that the basic requirements didn’t require ethernet (which was one that my oculus said was recommended) and I may have to restart my entire oculus, fix your products Meta. I’d also like to mention that it doesn’t matter if the air link exists Meta, I know very well that your product can run pc games without issues, but you still make it to where you need to setup a whole time consuming process that takes up hours of your day, I’m going to buy a valve index soon after writing this, because at least valve knows how to make something good. I have an idea Meta, why not make a PC oriented oculus? it’s a very good idea from a corporate perspective, you’d get more money from both oculus quest 2 and the PC one, think about it, and I know how much you like money.

Look, I can tell oculus somewhat responds and fixes issues that are sent in reviews, and I thought that if oculus new this issue existed they would’ve considered it important well it seems they don’t, if you don’t know what I’m talking about it’s retrieving your forgotten passwords, I didn’t know you needed to have your real name for your Facebook and oculus account so I logged out of my oculus and Facebook and made a new one for each, HOWEVER I completely forgot what my oculus password for the app, I don’t even remember making one, I thought I made it the same one for all my accounts but it appears not, I went “well ok I’ll just reset it” WELL APPARENTLY IM NOT ALLOWED TO. I went to forgot password, it took me to the oculus website I entered my email waited 30 minutes… nothing was sent. Oculus and Facebook this is a simple yet very important error in your system please just fix it already.

The app itself is actually pretty fine, PERSONALLY. (I am a very tech-efficient person so little problems on my side.) But, there’s one thing that bugs me so much that its worth mentioning: how the app handles setting up profile pictures. The problem is that instead of using the photo app, which can let you go through albums of photos (ex. Favorites or a custom album), the app uses its own photo book that lacks this feature. Additionally, I think not using the base photo app on the phone lowers the quality of the profile pictures to where lighting gets messed up and slightly more pixelated. (Or this part may be just due to the app itself.) I use the iPhone version of this app so I have no idea if this specific to this version of the app. Other than that, the app itself is fine.

While the app works, it’s not without issues. I’m using an iPhone 12 Pro Max and the app is poorly designed from a UX standpoint. The margins are too thin on the top and bottom and it seems like the developers just ignored Apple’s “safe area” suggestions. It’s difficult to tap on the search icon because it overlaps the network/battery icon in the upper right corner (same for the back button when it appears on the upper left). Once you do get the search bar opened, it’s under the notch and takes several taps in random spots to open the keyboard. The icons at the bottom of the screen are also under the home indicator. Aside from those issues, videos rarely load. I know it’s not my network, every other app works fine and I’ve tried on various different networks. Half the time the screen will just turn black and you have to close the app and reopen it. If these issues are resolved, I’ll be sure to update my review. But, as of now, the app is a mess and needs work.

When I first got the meta guest it was great, all the features were really advanced and everything was honestly really cool. About 1 month after I got it I got a message saying my account was suspended due to my age. The thing I don’t understand is why meta suspended my account because I was under thirteen. I am a minor, but nonetheless you shouldn’t have suspended my account. It’s completely unnecessary to ask for a person’s age because if a parent bought their child a meta guest in the first place, they obviously gave the child permission to use it and to have an adult account. Even after an hour of trying to get my account back it kept sending me in circles with the “verify your age” and “you don’t seem to be using the right account for your age”. If you are under 13 and reading this, don’t create an account with meta at all because their verification system is absolutely terrible and frusturating.

ok, i think the app is good, but im here to seek help for my actual oculus, so, i tried to play walking dead saints and sinners, but it kept crashing, so i was like, oh well, i'll play something else, but a lot of my games are out of date so i opened up the shop, and it said something like please try again later or something. it has been like this for WEEKS and i've done so much to try and get it to work again like it used to, i've restarted my oculus, i've powered it off numerous times and every time it has not worked, i've also deleted the app and reinstalled it and it didn't help, so i was wondering if there's any thing that can help that does not require a factory reset, and if it needs a factory reset, is there any way to get my data back without having to pay for it all again?

The app works fine with plenty of things but there a ton of little irritations. You have to scroll through like 20 tabs at the top of the store to get to wish list and it won’t let you sort those tabs which are mostly game genres. As others have pointed out, screencasting is a nice feature but it doesn’t work with Apple TV or some other devices (works with chromecasts), and there’s too much lag to have the sound on with the tv you’re casting to and your quest. It’s confusing and difficult to dismiss notifications. I want to get the notifications about new achievements but I don’t want to click on them one by one to dismiss them. Also, when I click on an achievement, it just takes me to the game and doesn’t tell me what I did to earn the achievement. So many little bad things all add up to make it feel bad

I was in love with this system for a long time because I could actually converse with adults without the risk of being banned from my headset. I’m an adult and if I wanna have adult conversations that might be a little late night hbo that should be no issue. But for some reason meta loves to go against its own policies while enforcing stupid ones. 1. Kids should be thirteen and up before using this. It’s not millions of way under ten year olds. Even in venues you create a bar where you can pretend to drink beer but yet some idiots kid is in there at a bar late at night and their parents blocking me because they don’t like my language. This is ridiculous. I’ve bought every single game on the store but they could care less about me but love putting kids in front of me in situations they shouldn’t be in the first place. I’ve recorded my dealing through a second party recorder because you can’t trust theirs especially if they are doing something very wrong.

The overall Oculus Quest experience was fairly positive when I got my headset. Each part of their complex ecosystem worked fairly well together, and I had little to no complaints about bugs or UX issues. That is, until Meta got involved. The experience has worsened dramatically since they bought out Oculus, and many basic features have since broken. The app only needs to help me complete a few tasks: buy games, stream to the headset, and queue installations. It now fails miserably at the last two; I can’t remember the last time I was able to install a game or game update from the app and headset streaming is nearly impossible due to inexplicable technical problems. Unfortunately it’s no surprise that Meta fails to meet the bare minimum standards for maintaining the initial Oculus product, but they are the only name in the game of affordable VR tech. Can’t wait for another tech company to throw their hat into the ring and bury the now Meta Quest into obscurity.

Facebook/oculus customer support is absolutely terrible and slow to respond. I had my account set up and my Facebook connected they made new updates that required you to change things in your account so now I cannot access the chat feature in the app without connecting my Facebook that WAS already connected before. I hen I go to connect my Facebook I get a "something went wrong" error I'm logged into the Facebook app on my phone everything is updated but I still get the error. Can't use half of the apps features without things being connected. I am literally paying for something that does not work. Not to mention none of my synced files are synced any long and on my headset it says they are synced but nothing shows in the app. The execution of everything here is bad as well as the customer support. The product would be amazing if it wasn't such a headache to use and actually worked. Facebooks entire setup is MESSY and BUGGY.

It’s really frustrating to get this app for what you wanted but can’t use. The store never displays their recommended app sections. You have to search everything by name so you can’t browse, when trying to load the next page of games it just doesn’t load. There’s achievements you can get from games but there’s no way to go into the app and look into how you got them. When you press the award it takes you to the game store page. You can compare trophies with friends and see them that way but like why the hassle? Trying to record gameplay that saves into the gallery also doesn’t load in the app. The footage is unusable then. If it worked smoother then it would be a nice UI and easy to navigate to what you want to browse. It works great in VR but I don’t want to have to go into it to browse the store or watch my gameplay. That’s supposed to be the connivence of the app but it doesn’t work.

When I got my oculus quest for Christmas, I was told to download the app to set it up. I set it up and played it for a while. A few months down the road, I was always asked to enable Bluetooth on my phone to connect to my oculus. Even though it was on, my oculus was never able to connect, but I was able to use the oculus and somehow be able to download content onto the oculus, but I could never stream any of my gameplay onto my phone. I’ve asked him he support team many times for help and they never gave any advice other than turn on and off your Bluetooth your phone. That never works and I’ve tried everything from deleting and redone loading the app to doing a factory reset on the oculus. After I have done all of that, the oculus will show up as a device to connect to on my phone, but if I click connect, it will for a second and then disconnect. If anyone is experiencing the same or has experienced the same, please reply and help me out.

I have had an oculus (or meta now) quest 2 for a while, since last Christmas. When I got it I immediately did the set up and it worked fine. I went for a period where I wasn’t using it a lot and between then and now something must of happened. I don’t know if it was Facebook taking it over or what but now that I’ve started using it again it completely reset my head set. That would be fine but now every time I try to set it back up it refuses to do the first time pair. So now I have a fully functioning but pretty much useless head set lying around. I’ve already tried everything they tell me to do and added a post on the meta support forum, there are multiple others that are having the same experience but no support response yet. All I have left to say is that the only features that the oculus has that you can’t get elsewhere is the portability and computer connection, if you don’t care about those I recommend you get your vr set elsewhere.

(Scroll down for summarized version) So Oculus is great and having an app that keeps all your recordings in one spot and being able to buy from the store, great! However, this app barely EVER works. When browsing the store and looking at a game in particular, whenever you go back to the search page or whatever, nothing. I have to restart the app and make my search again to keep browsing. I thought they’d have fixed it in yesterdays update but alas, same thing happens today. Another gripe of mine is how slow and buggy saving game clips is. I don’t share to Facebook, I like to download them and it works about 30 percent of the time. The other 70, it just gives me a loading circle. Anyway, the app os owned by meta and im sure they have access to all kinds of programmers, so why are we experiencing so many bugs with this app?? In short, the app has great features, but is buggy as all heck

The app has an option to install downloaded game to headset. Which would be nice if it worked! But it takes multiple power button presses on the headset and trying to connect app to headset before app connects. Then once it says connected, if you can get it to stay connected, the you get the option to install. I click on the headset and install, then it does nothing. I have to put unplug headset, put on headset, walk to my guardian area, get out the hand controllers, scroll through menus and then install game. After all that, I look at the app and it says installing?? Why have the app, it doesn’t work correctly! So far after only having this for a couple days I’ve already encountered multiple bugs with the app and the headset software, with random glitches, freezing and power off’s. Hopefully developers fix these bugs!

So, if you’re reading this, your either a possible customer or someone who works for Oculus. For the customer, here’s what I have to say: It’s a great app, I have an Oculus Quest and it works wonderfully. Definitely worth it. Now, for the Employee/Representative: I love this app, as well as the system I bought (the quest) but, I have one thing I’d suggest. I don’t have a credit card, so I buy Apple Giftcards for the App Store and use those to pay for things. I did this and attempted to buy AriZona Sunshine from the app using that idea, but it prompted me with a screen asking for either a credit card or PayPal (I have none) so my suggestion is to make it so you can pay for games through the Apple-Appstore and it be a separate thing that you can do, but also completely optional. That’s my suggestion, love the Quest, keep up the great work 👌🏻

I was getting super scared because I saw that most of the reviews they said the app doesn’t even work anymore. But then I got my oculus and it all worked fine. So if you see any of those critical comments maybe read the good ones. The performance on the oculus quest 2 is awesome. It has really good lenses but, you have to make sure that the headset does not touch any sunlight or the lenses will get messed up. It also has a really good boundary feature. It is super accurate unlike other headsets. It really helps a lot that the headset is wireless unless you use the link cable. I also would recommend the bobo VR head strap if you wanted a good experience with it. Overall the Oculus Quest 2 is probably one of the best headsets that is a pretty decent price

I’ve never had problems with this app before a few weeks or so ago (first week of Jan. 2022) infact it’s a pretty useful and great app, but recently it’s just been all grey with any area of the app you pick not showing up, even settings. I had to delete the app entirely and reinstall it, I couldn’t get any help in the support page of oculus, and had to figure out a way to fix it myself. You shouldn’t have to delete and reinstall it to make an app work however, please fix this when you get the chance, I want more of my friends to get an oculus so i have more of them to play this with, but if the main app isn’t working that’s a major turn off to the product as a whole. Other than this the app has great features and you can reflect what you see onto your phone for others to see, and make your own profile.

Primary problem being that it crashes immediately after being opened pretty regularly, there are several things that the devs need to figure out. Next up: for people with poor internet connection, there is no option to stream videos at 240 or 480, so when my rural internet provider forgets what they’re doing there’s no way for me to watch a trailer without 10 minutes of buffering. When streaming the headset’s display to my phone, I can turn the volume down to one notch, but I can’t mute it. This is annoying since I can already hear the audio from the headset itself if I’m standing right next to whoever is playing. Finally, I don’t know if this is specifically an app problem, but even though I get a notification every time I put on the headset that my phone is paired and I’ll receive phone notifications in the headset, I receive no phone notifications.

I have just recently gotten a brand new Meta Quest 2 for Christmas and I tried it out but i couldn't get it to connect. The first thing I tried was to restart my headset, then i tried deleting this app and nothing seemed to work. What I ended up needing to do was completely factory reset the headset and finally be able to connect. I wish it would have given me that option on the app when it couldn't connect. Once I got it connected and working, I couldn't find out how to screen cast it. When I would cast it directly to my TV it would say "Sent cast request" and nothing would pop up on my TV, then it would give me an error. When I tried to connect it to this app, it told me I wasn't connected to the internet when I was connected to the same internet on both devices and they were both working.

I have been trying to fix my oculus quest 2 for 3 hours now. Yes I have been in touch with customer support, and no it’s not helpful at all. Every time I log in with my Facebook account on the oculus app, it always says “Try again later” or “error occurred”. It never actually lets me sign up, so trust me, I will be returning this very soon. I won’t lie, the setup is pretty nice and the design over all. But not being able to login or sign up is pretty aggravating. I also was supposed to get an email confirmation and never got one. I’m going to wait until tomorrow, but so far nothing. I’ve tried it on many different accounts, I just can’t get past email verification. Please fix this or whatever the problem is, from what I’ve heard this issue started happening two years ago which says a lot. If I don’t get an email soon, I’m gonna get that 300 bucks back!!

I've played a few VR headsets in my life and none really had the wow factor. Tried this at a friend's and I'm blown away. The fact that it's a standalone headset made things even better! Graphics are awesome and crystal clear. I usually get a bit of motion sickness but with the OQ2, it barely affected me. Being a huge Star Wars nerd, it's a dream come true to be this close to Vader in Vader Immortal, plus I get to train like a real Jedi in the lightsaber dojo. The headset looks way much better than OQ1, very modern and clean. Having to link my Facebook account made things much more easier, since I linked all my app games to Facebook for easier upkeep. Have little to no issues to use and the fact you have the option to buy games either from this app or while playing VR is a bonus. Best $299 investment yet!

The Oculus Quest 2 was great at the start. But then later on, it was very glitchy. When it turned on, there’s 2 options. Room-scale boundary or Stationary boundary. Which ever one you click on, it doesn’t matter. The screen will just go completely black after and then those 3 dots will show up for about 15 seconds. Then it goes straight back to the 2 options. No matter which one you chose, it’ll just go black and then straight back to those 2 options. And on rare occasions it does work after you chose an option, but then you can’t even do anything. All the apps are gone. When you go to the store it says something like Oops! Nothing to see here! Nothing works. So it’s either you can’t turn it on, or you can, but then you can’t even play anything.

So I am a YouTuber for VR and I make VR content for like gorilla tag fan games are like rec room and I need to record and go to my gallery so I can save them and edit them but for some reason I can’t open it because there’s nothing there no gallery no nothing so I can’t even open it and like every time I open my oculus and try to do it on there. It doesn’t work cause it always just takes like five hours to load it’s annoying. It’s a good app, but I can’t find my gallery and I can’t even update it because I thought it would be an update so that’s why I can’t open my gallery. There’s no update. no nothing. You can’t even open your gallery anymore because you have to open it on your oculus, can you please fix this post on my channel? Haven’t posted anything in over almost a month.

I love my quest 2, i’ve saved up for quite some time and it was worth it. I want to give some recommendations to the devs to help with the app. Maybe you could make communication easier? I would like to be able to have an oculus party with my friend even if he isn’t on his quest at the moment. I’m only 13 and i’m not allowed to have a facebook account to of course, i use my dads with his permission. but i wish that it didn’t display my fathers name. I wish that we could have the option to hide our real name and just use our online ones. Maybe you could make it easier to set achievements for you and your friends. I would want to maybe invite my friends to my achievements rather than have to manually tell them. All in all, it’s a great headset and i’m in love with it. Thank you for reaching.
