I recently got the Beasts because I travel a decent amount and thought for the plane, it would be great for watching movies and YT. Secondarily, I could use it for my laptop for having a larger screen on the go.

Too many issues to look past.

Skywalker app is mediocre at best and I want native app usage so I could download movies and TV shows when Im offline. Unfortunately, the YT app barely works with Beasts (multiple bugs, black screen) and then if you do manage to get that or other apps working, the iphone screen has to be on so adjusting settings or constantly tapping or resting a finger on the screen.

On top of that, the chromatic aberration is very noticeable around the outside of the screen and the screen constantly drifts unless you have it anchored.

The laptop use case is also pretty trash -- the fact that only the center of where you are looking is crisp and even then, text isn't THAT crisp makes this hard to be a productivity machine.

Im excited about the future of XR and AR glasses, but this ain't it.

Just got my Viture Beasts and a big use case is watching downloaded YT videos while Im traveling / on planes / etc...but when I open the YT app, the phone screen goes black and I see a random video in the glasses, but bc the phone screen is black I can't interact or navigate at all.

Is this a known issue? Any fixes? Not a great out-of-the-box experience.

Does anyone here use any knee or leg recovery devices like the hyperice leg sleeves or knee massagers? I get ads for them all the time but curious if they actually aid in recovery.

I live and train at sea level mostly, but am doing the Bryce Ultra 50K (my first ultra) in Sept. Would it be better to get there the Saturday before and acclimatize or just get there a day or two early and send it?

In Sedona for about 10 days -- anyone have any good, lesser known trails for training? Trying to avoid the crowds.

Signed up for the 50K Bryce Canyon Ultra -- anything y'all wish you knew before your first ultra or anything you'd do different leading up to it or during it? Excited to be training for something again.

Hi -- curious some of the less-traveled areas for herping? Ive managed to spot a few chuckwallas scrambling around some rock formations, but was curious if anyone had any good recommendations. Going to be doing some night cruising, but open to hiking and wandering around on foot as well.
