Just went through all games and apps last night. To my amazement I saw that one of my favorite apps had less than a 3/5 average rating based on about 1000 ratings:

Of course user experiences will vary and depend on expectations, and this app won't play all your own movies flawlessly, then again I don't think this app was ever intended to be good at that.
Instead I find the Vimeo short film collection utterly amazing, and during the last year available films have been constantly updated. Watching short films (normal 2D, Vimeo) is the one thing I use in this app. Sure you can see some 360 degrees videos too, but the resolution is usually horrible (=very blurry) and I don't care for these videos. But sitting down in my own VR cinema watching awesome short films is beyond amazing - and there're more than 1000 to choose from (I think, the list simply goes on and on).
Some of my favorites:
And I know we can't discuss politics in here, but I guess I'm allowed to show a movie available in Oculus Video that I like a lot o:) 😉
Maybe this thread could be about short films you've seen in your Oculus Video VR cinema - did you see anything that maybe moved you more than a normal full length movie?
EDIT: Oculus Video no longer works with sound in the Vimeo videos, thus the app basically is dead and has been removed from the Oculus Store:
- fortunately, Viveport Video still works with Vimeo short films, but does not have as many Vimeo videos as Oculus Video. Viveport Video gets new Vimeo videos several times each weeks, so it's all good/fine:

Oculus Video Short Film of the Week - and the perfect movie to encourage New Year's resolutions 😉

The sound in CV1 continues to amaze.

It's hard to recommend this week's best Oculus Video - but this one does show some of the CV1's advantages, especially the sound, although image quality is great too:
Then again, just as you thought art could not get any better/bigger, "Sexy Swedish Illegal Aliens from Space" launches (maybe not really for *cough* kids, but you can find this gem of a short film on Oculus Video :blush: )
This one also got many awards, I'll check it out tomorrow o:)
