    Have to use in spurts or risk hurting eyes or getting headache. This varies from person to person.

    Low Quality 3D

    The 3D system isn't that advanced. What you see through the VR gear is very blurry and out of focus no matter how much you adjust the settings. It also causes your phone to heat up quite a bit. I got this free with my phone purchase but it is collecting dust. You will get a much better movie viewing experience right off your phone, not this!

    Cool at first but I stopped using it. Apps are generally more money than regular phone apps.

    I think it's fun to use, but the vision is very pixilated. Wish I could see more clear.
