 I haven't tried it on Oculus yet, but the problem I have had with the iPhone version is that there is no way to download the video in advance.  Unless you have a very fast connection, streaming is very slow.  The video will start to play, and then pause while it tries to buffer, then play again, then pause, then play, then pause and so on.  It keeps leading you to think it is finally about to play and then it stalls out again. All of this while you have a headset on your face and can't do anything but wait for it.  It really isn't worth bothering with you until they build in a way to download the video first.

I tried this title with a 150mbps+ downstream and it still pause during stream. (Ethernet 1Gbps)  If you like waiting to watch short videos, this is for you.

Same issue as those above. If they could just make a download video option for Rift users at least it would move this from a 1 star app to at least a 4 star app because it would be useable.

I wonder why I always have more luck with these video-streaming programs than other people around here?  I mean I invested in some good internet speed but it's not even the third-fastest plan offered by my provider, lol.

Well, obviously user-subjective playback issues can make this (and apps like it) garbage for some people, but personally I'm willing to call Jaunt a must-have in the Oculus Home library of anyone who DOES get good playback quality in it.  I mean, it's free, and even if you aren't interested in all of the content hosted on it, you're pretty much guaranteed to find at least a couple things on there that will really impress you.
