Calming but not quite there yet
The visuals and music are great! But there are just a few too many things that take away from this being a great experience. First - and very annoying - there is no way I can find to center the app in front of me. Holding down the right controller oculus button does not do anything. The beginning logo is in front but then when the graphics load they are all to the left side with no way to place it in front of me. If I am sitting on a couch or chair there is not a convenient way to view it if I am stationary. Makes no difference which direction I start in, it is always to my left. Definitely needs to have that standard feature of recentering that all my apps have. Second - the pace of the orbs are really too fast. I can understand the speed for the focus modules but for the sleep, cool down, and relax it is just too fast and makes me tense. I enjoy watching the "explosion" but the next orb is coming at me too quickly to take it all in. Would love to see an option to control the speed to be slower (or even faster if I really want to focus). And thirdly - the sessions are too short. 4 1/2 minutes is just not enough time to settle in. I know I can repeat the session but it loses the rhythm and flow. I would like to see an option for time. Like a 5, 10, 20 minute session. I will say I like the reminders to take a deep breath and relax. But unfortunately, because of the centering issue and speed I am not sure how much I will use it. I do realize this was meant to be geared more towards mindfulness and not just meditative but these are distractions and I just find myself not enjoying it as much as I should. It would be a 5 star review if not for these 3 issues. Also, the developer's website "contact us" link is not working so I do not have a direct support email to send correspondence about these issues. But again, the graphics are good and music is exceptional.
