    Folks,

    Yes you read that title right! You can now play Google Cardboard apps on your Samsung GearVR! There's an App for that as they say! lol Follow the instructions in Russell Holly's excellent guide, and you are on your way....

    This is how you play Google Cardboard apps on your Samsung Gear VR | VRHeads

    So now that you know what to do, what Cardboard apps are you most looking forward to using on your GearVR?

    I've been doing it since I got my Gear VR. My opinion is that there are not really that many apps that I would rather run in Cardboard, except VTime.

    So have I. At least with CB apps, you can keep power saving turned on.

    OMG! I forgot about that. I can take a small quality hit for better battery.

    If the Samsung Galaxy S8 is Cardboard, Tango, Daydream & GearVR compatible, for sure will be the device to have.

    Every time I see a news of how to use the Samsung's devices in something else I think they are listening the users.

    I know cardboard isn't the greatest news, but it's something more to it.

    What is also nice, is the CB apps can be moved to the SD card.

    I wanted this but the app no longer exists or was replaced with one that doesn't exactly work without rooting your phone.
