Highly useful tool providing extensive control over VR settings and playspace adjustments, significantly improving comfort and usability in VR games.
The playspace mover/space drag feature is a standout, allowing players to reposition their in-game character regardless of physical space constraints, essential for VRChat and other social VR titles.
Free availability on Github makes it accessible to everyone, with the Steam version offering convenience and support for developers.
Intuitive interface and lots of customization options such as bindings, floor height fixes, audio controls, and push-to-talk enhance VR experience and flexibility.
Stable and lightweight with minimal performance impact, bringing advanced features not offered by default SteamVR.
Recommended for all VR users, particularly those with full body tracking or small play areas, to solve common tracking and calibration issues.

The switch from a free to a paid model on Steam caused backlash, as many users feel the cost is unjustified given the software was free for years and little new features were added.
Some users experience bugs, crashes, or functionality loss after updates, including issues with keybindings and play space mover not working properly.
Complexity and steep learning curve can be intimidating for new users without tutorials, and some find the UI outdated and non-user-friendly.
Certain features can interfere with other VR apps or cause performance hiccups, and compatibility issues exist on non-Windows platforms like Linux.
The Steam overlay as the sole method for changing settings can be unreliable or confusing, leading to usability concerns.
Some users criticize the developer's handling of monetization and community relations, mentioning perceived greed and poor communication.

The optimization aspect is praised for offering extensive VR customization options that allow users to fine-tune settings like supersampling and performance overlays with minimal impact on overall performance. While some users report performance drops linked to specific software conflicts (e.g., SteamVR with Oculus Link, or running OVR Advanced), the tool itself runs efficiently in the background and is valued for its flexibility and helpful performance monitoring features.
- “Customization options: fine-tune multiple VR settings to optimize comfort and performance.”
- “You can do so much with this tool, from supersampling (which you definitely should if you own a Quest 2 or better and/or have the PC for it) all the way to performance overlay.”
- “Lots of settings are things which will take time to learn how to use, but considering this runs in the background while you're in VR (with negligible performance impact) and the fact that this is entirely free by the kindness of the OVRAS team, there is no reason to not get this.”
- “It's a known issue that if you use SteamVR with the Oculus software from Link/Air Link on top, your performance will be horrible.”
- “However, after the whole VRChat EAC debacle, every time I load up OVR Advanced, my game absolutely tanks in frames and general performance.”
- “But it all simply comes back to OVR Advanced; when I close out of OVR, all the frames and performance come back full throttle and the game runs perfectly.”

Stability reviews are mixed, with many users experiencing frequent bugs and glitches that hinder functionality, especially during troubleshooting and setup adjustments. However, some find the tool essential for deep customization and occasional humorous VR moments, while a few report minimal issues and smooth performance. Overall, stability appears inconsistent and can impact usability.
- “Unfortunately, this thing is buggy as hell.”
- “Supposedly this allows you to get controls to do new things in your VR applications, but no matter the amount of troubleshooting I went through, it never worked.”
- “Second year as a user of Vive Pro 2, many glitches mock me in the first place.”

Users appreciate the integrated music controls for their convenience in VR, allowing easy pausing, playing, and managing music without leaving the game.

Overall, the music functionality is valued for improving the VR experience and accessibility.
- “It's nice to fly around in games with playspace mover, as well as bind buttons on my VR controllers to pause and play music!”
- “From your average playspace adjustment, to assigning chord keybinds to pause your music, toggle mute in Discord, or count the amount of time you've spun in your playspace, this is the tool you need for a good and safe time in SteamVR.”
- “I mostly use it as a playspace mover for VRChat, but it adds some other nice tweaks as well, I find myself using the music controls more and more.”
- “My music control literally will not work, not even if I restart SteamVR or OVR; even redownloading OVR doesn't fix the issue.”
- “I mostly use it as a playspace mover for VRChat, but it adds some other nice tweaks as well. I find myself using the music controls more and more.”

- “Must have tool that solves many of the issues that can occur in SteamVR for both visuals and playspace, and enables a lot of fun movement, that can be used for both convenience and fun moments in social VR.”
- “It lets you manipulate your playspace, enhances your graphics, and is just a handy tool to have running when SteamVR is launched.”
- “Even my graphics card has bugs and it doesn't run smoothly anymore... I feel like the previous version was far better than this version.”
- “I seem to be stuck at either 90hz at below 11.5ms with very low graphic settings or 45hz with motion smoothing on.”
- “New AMD 9060XT users: the app renders poorly. The app needs fixing for Intel by adding different graphics API options.”
