At this point this app just gives your headset a bunch of half-baked capabilities that only work half of the time. This is a pity as this capability was added a while ago and still hasn’t really been patched. 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. 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. 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)*. Exhibit A the recently added Mixed Reality Camera (a feature which made me immediately re-download the app). The app is presented to the user in a useful and intuitive way, but lacks execution. The best reasons to use this are all broken. 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.

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.

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.Īlso to anyone that may want to purchase a headset for their family to use, Facebook does NOT allow multiple accounts on a single headset. 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.
