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.

I just today opened the Meta Horizon app on my phone to change my avatar’s background, and not only was it completely gone, but I didn’t find a way to access it or the change background feature anywhere on the app! It’s bad enough that for no good reason you made it so we can’t create new clothes for our avatars on Instagram anymore, and all we ever have had in the way of jewelry is earrings and no other jewelry, e. g rings, it’s bad enough that the accessories other than hats and headbands are gone, e. g we only can choose solid colors for our headgear, and not multicolored designs and no patterns, and things like flowers for our avatar’s hair never have existed, but the change background feature has not even existed for very long at all, now it’s completely gone! Long story as short as possible, please take every single issue that I have mentioned in this review, including the change background feature, and bring it back, and add all the other things I mentioned above, making the avatar feature in general, better than ever! Furthermore, I would also very much appreciate it if you made these changes very soon, and did not change them back! Btw, I would really appreciate it if you responded to my review very soon! Thank you!

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.
