If you've used any other VR website like POVR, VRCosplayX, 18VR and then try NaughtyAmericaVR you'll see how bad their website is.
Website Feedback
1. They don't create page numbers for their catalogue. You have to scroll all the way to the bottom and click on the "view more" button for it to load more. I counted and there are around 500 VR videos and they will all load on one page but only after you scroll to the bottom and click view more 20+ times. If you click on a video, and click again to play it, then exit out and go back, it will often reset the page and set you back at the top losing your place and you'll have to click on view more again to get back to where you were. The URL at the top doesn't change to page 2, page 3, etc. it's all one URL and one page. I wanted to view their oldest videos to most recent to go through their whole catalogue and it's the worst experience you could imagine.
2. There are no hover over previews on videos. If you put your cursor over the video thumbnail, it does not load a brief preview so it forces you to click on each one to see what it is.
3. They insert "on demand" videos in the list of videos. So you'll see 2 videos you have access to and then the third thumbnail has an on demand label on it which you don't. They give you no option to turn this off or hide them. If you click you have to pay for these videos. So you have to comb through and ignore multiple on demand videos in the list that you don't have access to. They insert them in the video grid like videos you have access to so they can trick you to click. I have accidently clicked on a few and hoped that my card was not charged after. There is one part where I had to scroll through 30 on demand videos in a row, 10 rows of 3 videos each that were all on demand only and past 2 large banner ads until I got to a video I could stream or download. This is in the members section that I already paid to access. My guess is they do this to make their catalogue look larger when there might only be 300 VR videos and 200 on demand videos mixed in.
4. They insert large banner ads in their catalogue preview. You'll scroll down through all the videos on one page and it will be 6-9 videos then a large banner ad, more videos, large banner ad. There must be at least 20 large banner ads causing you to have to scroll down even further. If you accidently click on one, it loads that page and if you go back it resets your page so you lose where you were in the catalogue and have to click view more to try to get back.
5. Their video naming process is awful. They have multiple videos where the title is "xyz has sex in table" or "xyz has sex in couch". It's not on the table, it's not on the couch, it's in it or inside it. If you download and save a video and want it to match what it's actually called, you have to save it with these really stupid long names that make no sense. All other sites give decent unique shorter titles.
6. They have all these VR series videos like The Gym 7, The Gym 8, Classroom 14, Classroom 15 but that's not how they label them in their catalogue after you sign up to view them. They give them these long description names. You'll then have to manually match up and see which one is Classroom 14 or 15.
7. Their tags are not very accurate. If you click the "teen" tag to see all their teen VR videos, a teen being a girl who is 18, 19, you'll instead get videos of girls that are around 40 years old with large fake breasts. I clicked on one that had the tag anal on it and showed up in the anal filter they created and a comment by another user on the video was where was the anal in this? They have very poor labeling and ignore their user comments/feedback to fix it.
8. Their website shows all their videos so you have to set it to filter by VR. If you set it and search for a VR video, and then go back to try to search for another, it resets so you have to set it each time back to VR. Click the drop down, select VR, click back in the search box. It just adds to the frustration of using their website.
9. Some of their videos have a really cute young girl and some older pornstar mixed in so I guess they can have a little bit of everything depending on the viewer but what it does is just ruins a lot of videos. By older, it looks like they could be 50+ and a grandma. They look like a mom who's kids have kids. They have fake breasts, fake lips, and so many tattoos their tattoos could be a shirt. They cast some of the trashiest, oldest, ugliest pornstars because I guess that is what their casting person is into. A lot of comments are I wish "xyz" wasn't in this video or I wish "xyz" could have been in a video by herself. It forces you into these weird VR experiences where you are with a beautiful pornstar but then a grandma looking pornstar. It's so jarring and gross that you're like it's just not worth it. They force you into those experiences in VR and it's right in your face. Just awful casting decisions in some of their videos.
10. Some of the scenes involve the girl looking off camera at the director talking to them. You'll see the girls stop and look to the right at the director and stare like he's talking to them and then they continue. You keep thinking what are they looking at. Then you read the comments and know it's the director and they edited out what he said.
11. If there is something you don't want to see, they make it very hard to filter that out or avoid it. There are a few interracial videos with guys with black penises and since I don't have one, I like to skip those videos. It just doesn't do it for me. I'm not saying they shouldn't make those, some people I'm sure want to see those, but let us filter things out if you do that. They could do that by allowing a hover over thumbnail preview, or let us rate scenes so we can keep track of what we already skimmed, or give an ignore/hide option on videos. For example they like to cast a lot of older pornstars with large fake breasts, lots of tattoos, that's fine if that is what you're into. But for those who like to skip those videos they make it impossible. You can't preview out of them. It's a real chore to go through their catalogue.
12. They shoot themed videos and a lot of them the girl takes the clothes off too quickly. There will be a really nice intro of the girl in yoga tights with the crotch ripped out and instead of them having sex with it on for a good amount of time, they just take it all off and go all nude. Most of the site is all nude except a few of the Classroom videos where they leave their skirts on for some of the intro sex before going all nude as well. Even the "Dressing Room" videos is them getting dressed in sexy outfits and posing with no sex in those outfits. They just stop standing around wearing the clothes and it cuts to them in regular panties before going all nude for sex. It's really gimmicky and misleading for anyone who has a clothing fetish or who has seen a lot of all nude porn and wants to see something different. Oh hey look, it's another all nude sex scene with "xyz" pornstar. It's the 50th, 100th, 200th, 300th, etc.
13. A lot of the sex is slow in scenes. It's usually the PSE (Porn Star Experience) videos that want it to feel like you're making love to them but they never say they love you, they never act like they really love you. It's all hardcore intro of I wanted to fuck you so bad, I've wanted to have sex with you for so long, etc. Then slow sex that it's really hard to get off on. You're just left feeling like, this is so boring, skip.
14. Their intros are pretty much all the same. If it's PSE the intro is I've wanted to have sex with you for so long. If it's a Classroom scene, it's we want to get out of here or graduate. If it's a Gym scene, it's girls working out in front of you in sexy clothes that they remove all of for the sex to do another all nude scene just in another location. When you hit play, you pretty much know what you're going to get, what they're going to say or do, and how the sex will be.
15. They have a lot of threesome scenes and when they work, they work great. But when they don't work, they don't work and it's awful. By that I mean it's a less attractive girl putting her hand around your dick trying to jerk you off while you're having sex inside another more attractive girl. Or the unattractive girl is all in your face blocking your view and saying stuff when you get to the one pornstar in the scene that is actually attractive. Or it's an older woman with short hair that looks unattractive telling the attractive girl to eat her pussy while you watch. They know how to ruin a scene. I then go and read the comments and it's pretty much what you expect, someone complaining about how annoying that one pornstar was. It really comes down to them casting unattractive girls in their threesome scenes or trying to get a mix for everyone that pleases no one. Instead just make a teen video or an older porn video. Keep it all teens or keep it all older girls with fake boobs. Make it better for that demographic instead of worse.
16. When you go to download a video, it doesn't tell you the file sizes, just the device to download for.
17. There really old videos have a lot of technical issues like pornstars that look like giants, look really warped with giant heads, some audio issues, etc. They should have just removed these videos or never uploaded them. Or at least give better options for users to ignore them somehow. They give a plus icon next to videos to save them to your favorites, maybe give a minus sign next to it to mark that you reviewed it and don't want to see it again when it keeps showing up in all the tags, filters, etc.
18. I've tried a few workarounds to deal with there website. One was I favorited a few videos on the desktop app that others recommended on Reddit so I could go to my favorites to view and find them more easily. I later discovered that after you favorite or unfavorite something you have to click refresh in the browser to make sure it saves it. Sometimes it didn't save me unfavoriting it properly and when you refresh to make sure that it will, it often resets your page location so you lose your place. So scrolling down through the catalogue and relying on the save to favorites button without refreshing to reset it all after each one is risky that it won't save. So you also have to lift your headset and write it down. This is so you can keep track of what you want to download.
19. Another workaround I tried was if you hold down the trigger on the title, you can click open in new tab as you go. The problem is if you accidently click the title, it loads it in the same browser and disables the back arrow to go back. So you have to load the main page all over again, add the VR filter back on with most recent filter, and then scroll back down past everything back to clicking view more multiple times to find where you were to continue going through the catalogue. In doing this sometimes when I click the VR drop down menu filter it accidently clicks on the video right below it and I have to start over. Or when opening tabs in a new window, you carefully try to x out a tab to manage all the tabs you have open and it double clicks 2 tabs and now you closed a video and aren't sure which one so you now got to figure out what video you closed.
20. The website will ultimately make you so frustrated and angry using it that it will ruin a lot of scenes. You'll just go into it so angry and frustrated that you want to just finish reviewing the catalogue so you can download what you want and cancel as soon as possible. It's just awful. Everyone knows viewing it in the browser is painful as it is because of the giraffe angles. The only way to really enjoy them is to download them and view them in another app like skybox that lets you zoom out. But to do that, you need to first browse to figure out what is worth downloading and with them it is the most painful experience. They just add more frustration onto an already frustrating experience and you know they have the money and resources to fix and improve it all but they choose not to. On top of all of that, each video starts with their catchphrase "Naughty America, nobody does it better." So the whole time you're thinking, a lot of websites do it better.
21. When I go to download a file on their desktop website, each time I get a pop up to do a series of captchas and the captcha pop up has an ad on it. And it's not just one round, it's pick the buses, pick the tractors, pick the traffic lights, pick the fire hydrants, pick the bicycles, failed. Do it all again, pass. After I clear all the captcha quizes I then get a button to click download. So annoying and frustrating to have to do this for each and every download. No other VR site I have joined has had me do this and the fact that they put an ad on their captcha pop up box makes me dislike them even more.
22. After the download does start, the files have even worse naming conventions. For example Classroom 1 has this as the file name: "clsralexisdannikennabambino vrdesktophd". Imagine if you download 50 files from their website, you'll have no idea what is what so now you have to keep track of that too.
23. When you click a video to preview it in a browser on your PC or on your headset, they load ads to the right and above the video frame. Basically all around the video frame are ads and as it loads the video jumps as the ads load so if you try to click the play button, it jumps and you click ads. It's a very sketchy practice and feels like you are watching videos on a tube site and not in a members section.
24. After you finally figure out what to download, clear all the captchas and start the downloads, the download urls time out in less than 8 hours. I've had them time out in less than 4 hours, and in less than 2 hours. When they time out you have to go get the download link again and do all your captchas again. You will need a new download link so the only way to download properly would be in something like jdownloader where you can change the url after the download stops and fails, so you can continue where it left off an hope that it doesn't have a corrupted file now. Like some other VR sites, they use to block you from right click copying the download link and pasting it in jdownloader, so you have do start the download, then go to your downloads and stop it, copy the link from there and then paste it in jdownloader. POVR a much larger website for example does not mask their urls but they also have a url link time out process. But there is no captcha to get the urls and you can go back and just copy the link, right click on the download in jdownloader, click change url and change it to the updated url to continue downloading from POVR. On NaughtyAmericaVR you can't do that and on top of that, you have to do all your captchas all over again to get the links.
25. Using jdownloader will read like multiple connections sometimes and flag their security system which will block your account. No other VR website I've used locked me out my account for using jdownloader except NaughtyAmericaVR. All your downloads will stop and you won't be able to login to get new links. Their security team is fast though to email back and reactivate, usually in less than a few hours. Unfortunately this is the only way to download a lot of videos from their website because of their timeout process. You then have to contact support and they will reactivate your login and say the account was flagged for multiple connections and they turn your login back on. I had my account locked twice but got mostly all the files I wanted by the time of the second lock. You can avoid this by just downloading them right in chrome or firefox if there aren't many you want to download.
With all that said, would I recommend NaughtyAmericaVR? The answer is still unfortunately yes.
1. They have a few VR gems in their collection worth owning and if you find pornstars you really like you also get access to their regular websites so you can download also the regular porn videos of them. Signing up you will certainly be able to find enough content to make it feel like you got your money's worth.
2. Their loading/streaming times are the fastest I've seen. On other VR sites when you click ahead in the streaming video it takes a bit to load it, on NaughtyAmericaVR it is instant playback as you skip around in the video. They have a good video caching system.
My main gripe is really with their website system. It's outdated and a horrible experience. You can tell that they don't use their own platform or watch VR porn or download or own porn because they made it very difficult to use and navigate and designed it in a way that they can try to make more money off you. All they care about is money and it shows.
My guess is it's a bunch of older industry veterans running their company that don't watch VR porn but want to make money off it. There is no way a director in their 20s or 30s would make some of the porn they are making and put grandmas in threesomes. It's too bad they don't have good filters or previews to avoid another NaughtyAmerica grandma VR experience. But I guess to them grandma is hot because she's got large watermelon fake breasts, a body full of tattoos like she's in a biker gang, fake plastic lips, and a botoxed plastic face lift. Yes nobody does it better casting that than Naughty America. Pornstars are supposed to be hotter than average women and some are uglier than most women you'd see with no makeup on. It's not porn, it's VR cruelty and torture that causes you to try to exit as quickly as possible to try to find a decent video before getting lost in their navigation system again.
NaughtyAmerica VR Download Workflow
The solution I found was that you basically have to preview through the desktop app where most of the previews look all fish eyed to figure out what videos you might like, opening each video in a new tab. You will basically have to blind download them without stream previewing them from your device. You can try but for me it was too frustrating trying to go through the catalogue on the Quest 2 browser. From there you add them to your favorites to keep track of what you already downloaded, hit refresh to make sure it added, and then go through the captcha to download.
You then pause/cancel the download in your download folder, then copy/paste the link from that in jdownloader.
In jdownloader linkgrabber, you right click the file and go to properties and click rename to name it something you can identify. I go with something like PORNSTAR, PORNSTAR, PORNSTAR - NAUGHTYAMERICAVR CLASSROOOM 1. I type the name first out in notepad in a list to keep track of what I've downloaded and paste it to rename. If it's 3 pornstars, I put my favorite one at the front.
I had to manually look up each VR title name in Google on their main NaughtyAmerica website. If you search a pornstar name on there, it shows you the real title of the VR scene series as Classroom 5, Gym 7, Summer Vacation 4, etc. They don't make it easy to find the name of it when you download from the members section. You could use the original title they give you of sex in table or sex in couch but I like to have the real title on it. Also the description titles they give make the file name way too long. This shows the importance of having shorter VR titles.
After you click start download, the rename will only rename the folder it saves in and not the video file. I don't like renaming video files in fear it might mess up the download at some point so I wait. So after it finishes downloading, you have to go to your downloads folder and copy the folder name to paste it as the file name. Naming it as you start the download just helps you keep track of the name to put on the file later. You then click in the folder and right click the file and click rename and paste the name from the folder to name the file how you want.
You then transfer that file to your VR folder with all your VR files. From there you download Skybox desktop on your PC and have Skybox app also installed on your Oculus quest 2 which costs around $10 but is worth it. You then can drag that folder into the skybox desktop app and it will stream them to your quest 2 via your home wifi. You can then zoom in and out in the skybox app and adjust the angles and views and see which videos you actually want to keep. If they had a better streaming experience, you could have done most of that streaming them and keeping track of what you already viewed. But instead the process will involve a lot more blind downloading of files to view and sort out later.
If you plan to sign up, be prepared to spend a lot more time navigating with your membership so do it when you have more time to go through their website. It's like they purposely make it painful so it takes you longer to review their catalogue. I think a lot of it is to prevent piracy. Having long strange video title names, they know most people aren't going to take the time to find the real title and sort and rename it. And people pirating are likely searching real titles like Classroom 4 and not their made up descriptions that make no sense. So they are I'm sure curving piracy by doing this and making their files harder to find to pirate. But at the same time they are making the member experience miserable.
Be prepared to be very frustrated using their website.
I'm sharing this mostly as feedback in hopes they will improve it. I plan to cancel and won't renew after this.
