    I got this free with purchase of my new phone. It's actually pretty cool. The roller coaster app is pretty realistic.

    A good product with a lot of potential. Some of the current software out there will give a user a good idea of the possibilities of the device. However, it comes at a price. On a personal level I don't use the device enough to really make investment in software worth it at this point. Had it not come packaged with my phone, I doubt I would have purchased it.

    I enjoyed this but at the time there was not enough content out there and was thinking about waiting until there was more things available to do with it that I liked. However, then Note7s had to be recalled and that is what I purchased it for so since I would no longer have the Samsung phone I purchased this for I had no reason to keep it and returned it.
