Works very well with every Galaxy phone we've used on it. Good assortment of free material in the play store to see all aspects available. This was my first experience with the current VR technology and I've enjoyed it so far. Looking forward to trying Minecraft in VR.

Awesome product. Was looking forward to it for my bday. Unfortunately I had to return it because it constantly overheated and I couldn't use it longer than 20 min. What a shame. Also, I read it's a common issue.

Lightweight and comfortable, but the lack of content on the oculus store makes this thing almost worthless.It tends to overheat my Galaxy 6, is frustrating.

Truthfully, I haven't had time to use it much. Lots of fun at first, but not sure how much I'll actually use it. Not quite as cool as I thought it would be. All in all, still glad I got it. Still learning about the features, so my opinion could change.
