YUR is a great tool for tracking calories burned and fitness activity while playing VR games, providing motivation through a leveling system and achievements.
The app integrates well with various VR games and allows for real-time tracking of workouts, making it easy to monitor progress and stay engaged.
The community support is excellent, with responsive developers and a helpful Discord channel that enhances the user experience.

The app often suffers from login issues and server downtime, leading to frustration and loss of tracked data.
There are significant privacy concerns due to data collection practices, and the requirement for a mobile app can be intrusive.
The calorie tracking can be highly inaccurate, often overestimating the calories burned during VR sessions, which undermines its reliability as a fitness tool.

Overall, the optimization of the software is generally well-received, with many users reporting minimal to no performance impact, even in VR settings. However, a few users have noted slight performance decreases in specific applications like Beat Saber. The software is praised for its ease of use and supportive community, making it a valuable tool for tracking performance without significant resource demands.
- “It doesn't impact performance at all on my machine, unlike some other overlays.”
- “It's easy to use, has no footprint on performance, and the community that revolves around it is extremely helpful and positive.”
- “While it may not seem to take much resources when you are not in VR, once you get into VR you may notice a performance loss due to it.”
- “I did notice a slight performance decrease in Beat Saber, so take that into account.”
- “It hardly makes a dent on the performance; it's unintrusive unless you want it to be.”

Overall, the music selection is engaging, though some players note that casual play may not yield significant physical exertion.

- “I don't even pant or lose my breath after playing a Ragnarok song at 8-10 difficulty.”
- “I don't even pant or lose my breath after playing a ragnarock song at 8-10 difficulty.”

- “It will tell you which songs you played and how many calories you burned on those songs, so you know which songs are great for exercising and which aren't.”
