Good updates

Loving how easy it is to watch my stuff on PlayStation, VR2, and every device.

The best creator platform

Loving the redesigned apps! Cant wait for creator features.

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.

Constant bugs on PS4 please fix!

I have an original model PS4 and use Rad for VR. It seems to have trouble side-loading and is currently unusable.

- It constantly crashes when I scroll through my thumb drive. To avoid crahsinf I have to watch a video every few scrolls so that the app doesn't get overwhelmed. So annoying.

Even worse, now it won't open because a promotional banner pops up, and the app never opens, preventing you from moving past that screen to see the main menu. Please fix! For me, the app is currently worthless, and I pay money monthly to use it.

Last month, when using Rad on my PS4, it wouldn't load to be “online,” so I had to select an “offline” mod to use. Pretty, please fix this. I want to like your app. I continue to pay and support what you do; please make it usable.

No good content - PSVR 2

I’m not seeing any reason one would pay $5 a month for this service. All the reviews are super old too, don’t waste your money here.
