Well here's the rub; I bought a phone with a fullHD 1920x1080 screen to use with VR headset, installed this app BBC VR Taster, and it starts with the T&Cs page: "By pressing 'continue'..." - but where is the Continue button ? Can't go any further. Guess this same issue as Vivek Jain below

They should really reconsider the name since bbc can mean other things, so combining it with "taster" isn't good. Otherwise it's very cool, but content is slow to download.

Scary, orwellian splash page, demanding that I permit them to use my personal information however they see fit.

Tom an age to download and then head no pictures, just a terrible fractured soundtrack that couldn't be made out.
