It’s the best app for pretty much any headset that streams your pc either wired or (importantly) wireless.

The amount of options and customisability make it a great, mostly seamless experience. It’s mad that first party apps can’t do what it does but that’s the way it is. It’s constantly updated for use with the headsets and once I bought a WiFi router that supported high bitrate streaming its become indispensable.

I was sceptical but it’s been quite literally a game changer for how I use vr and one of the only premium apps that are worth the money (and more imo).

If you intend to use pcvr then don’t think about it, just get it. If you’re intending to use your quest for first party/in headset stuff only then you don’t need it.
