It's almost perfect for watching media. It has an abundance of settings you can mess around with to make sure that the 3D is looking as good as it can be.
The cinema mode is great for watching plain 2d videos. I love the different themes. The cinema mode is my favourite thing about this app.
Though I have some requests for the devs:
-Adjustable sound settings for 2d cinema mode.
It looks like you're sat in a cinema but it doesn't sound like it. It could be fixed with an adjustable reverberation setting maybe.
-More themes and/or custom themes.
The themes are awesome and even more would be even more awesome.
Like one theme could be where you are sat in the middle of a city and you're watching videos on a big screen mounted on a building.
Overall, it's a great app. I definitely recommend it to any VR users.

Finally a PCVR way to watch 3D and 360's on Youtube without paying extra for higher resolution videos. Earlier comments suggested Index controllers didn't work, mine work flawlessly. I've tried a couple of the other 360 viewers, those are slow + clunky. This one is so smooth and fast, works great with local videos and 3D movies too. I found my 3D movies played better in Skybox than Bigscreen because there are custom aspect ratio controls to fix any odd stretching
There was a bug with the youtube search when I first downloaded it, I sent them an email and they fixed it within 2 days! Seriously, this is so worth the $10 just to have a smooth functioning app with active devs

Apparently I'm one of the few people NOT using this app for porn, but for 3D movies xD I was looking for an app that can play 3D MKVs in full SBS mode while playing the audio via my PC and not my VR headset - this does all of that! It also has a nice, clean GUI and some nicely made environments. From what I can tell it's the best VR media player for SBS 3D movies on Steam since most other apps either don't work at all, only support half SBS (looking at you, bigscreen) or don't support 3D subtitles. It also ran smoothly without any lags or hickups.

Been using this for years when I bought this on the oculus/meta store, but they broke my account when I was migrating from oculus to meta, resulting in my license for skybox getting lost. Skybox support helped me in troubleshooting, and gave me a key to add a license to my steam account.
10/10 app, 10/10 support

Work's very well and the UI is easy to figure out
has settings needed to adjust to different types of vr video settings
stop over thinking the price and just get this one, it does what you need it to do and probable more
