So here's my honest take on Cardboard. I've tested a bunch of VR apps and this one's pretty good. The VR experiences are immersive and the app makes it easy to get started. But it's not without its issues - the setup can be a pain and it's not as polished as some other options out there. Overall though, if you're into mobile VR, Cardboard is worth giving a shot.

Description

Been using Cardboard for a couple months now. It’s basically a virtual reality app that puts VR experiences right on your smartphone. Pretty solid app if you’re into that sort of thing.

Here’s what you do: you can launch VR apps, discover new ones, and set up your Cardboard viewer. There’s also a community you can join to share your experiences. Took me a while to figure some of that out but it’s useful.

Look, if you’re into virtual reality apps, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the setup can be a bit finicky at times – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.

Free VR, this is a great jumping off experience. I was lucky enough to be given a cardboard viewer (with a QR code) at a convention and with it I...
