Lack of Content makes iOS app Pointless
I have premium for the sole purpose of sideloading 3D/VR content on the PSVR app, which is more Sony’s failure than Rad’s success. There’s very little else to recommend about Rad. Most of the named channels in the app’s description e.g. Bloody Disgusting TV are not available in the UK. The channels that are available are basically shovelware, with no schedule visible so even on the off-chance they might show something you’d be interested in, you’d have no way of knowing. A lot of the on-demand content is AI-generated and while some is an interesting tech demo, it’s not anything you’d really engage with. Some of the VR content is good e.g. the Notre Dame documentary, but you really need to watch it in VR for the full effect. I don’t think there’s any reason to use the iOS app. The app itself is fine and other than some minor annoyances like the search function only applying to on-demand content rather than live channels, with content it could be worthwhile. Sadly the content just isn’t there.
