Invasive App - zero stars!
I was a “refugee” of Altspace and friends and others were talking about this app, Engage. So I decided to give it a try. It was kinda weird walking around and seeing these NPC avatars roaming around. And I get it, they wanted it to seem like it’s a bustling place, so understandable. So I continued to check out this place. I went into the hubs and some were really cool, like the 360 Video hubs, but some were just really weird, like the alien hub, but it’s all good and fun. I decided that Engage wasn’t really what I wanted for my needs so I left. I did take a pic of my avatar to show a friend. But when I went to retrieve the pic from my Oculus gallery, I noticed about 50 files that were automatically uploaded to my gallery from Engage. Now I get that I gave permission for audio and video when you first start, but I didn’t give permission to access my gallery for automatic uploads of numerous files. I thought maybe they were caches of the worlds I entered, but cached to my gallery?? Never have I seen this before. I immediately deleted all the files off of my Oculus and uninstalled the Engage app. I checked back the next day to make sure they were gone, and they were ALL back! Even after I deleted them AND uninstalled the app, they all came back. Also, 3 videos were automatically downloaded to my phone! I did not sync these files, they were put on my phone and I can’t delete them. This is a very invasive app that takes over your Oculus and your phone. I definitely would not recommend this app to anyone! And anyone who has used this app, I would suggest that you check your gallery AND your phone for intrusive files being planted without your permission.
