    Only one thing is trying to down load the circus app. I can't get it to work. All the other apps are easy and fine. Wish I could download the circus though.

    This product isn't too bad. I just don't like how you have to download like 3 different apps to use it, and pay for the games. But it is an awesome VR.

    Received this a part of an S7 promo, this takes getting used to. Overall I'm waiting for more movies to become available, in order to appreciate the goggles.

    Worth the money.. Because of the price, I think this is worth it. Downloads are free or inexpensive. Only problem is it only goes with certain phones.

    The VR goggles are a unique experience. I believe teenagers/young adults would love these more so than older adults. Huge variety of things to do with them.

    My son received this free for purchasing Samsung S7. He doesn't use it much. I tried it. It was pretty cool, but nothing I'd use on a regular basis.

    Our entire family (age ranges from 17 thru 79) have been enjoying the Samsung Gear VR. My only complaint is that your phone gets too hot too fast; but that is an easy remedy. Just take a little break from your fun!

    We had the Gear VR at a family gathering recently and everyone had a great time experiencing the different apps. One person had so much fun they decided they needed to buy a Gear VR. They are fun and easy to use.

    This is great...my kids and i are constantly fighting over this. The only downfall is that your phone will get hot pretty fast. A notification will pop up to let u know but it happens way too quick for me. Still 5 stars
