Comments on Cardboard for Android

★★★★★ Hello Kitty Gang · Mar 7, 2026
Still remember when this first came out. Got it for the Simpsons experience. The cardboard viewers were given out free through alot of different websites. Either google them or google the DIY. Other option is an actual VR headset.
★★★★★ Brittany Danielle · Jul 4, 2026
It is so freaking cool that I built it a box out of janga box, and I put the phone in, and it was the goodest experience ever. And I never had a v r heads that, so I got to use this
★★☆☆☆ Nicole Sarac · Jul 28, 2026
I couldn't get the app to work because you have to get an official Google cardboard viewer, and then scan the QR code it comes with. It won't work at all without a QR code. Uninstalled.
★☆☆☆☆ Екатерина Микушина · Feb 26, 2026
Trash as hell, every time I want to go to videos viewer I need to remove the phone from the headset enter the video viewer and then put it back on! And when I try to go back to the headset, BOOM! IT PUTTED ME TO THE MAIN MENU AND THE BRIGHTNESS WAS LIKE VERY HIGH. I'M UNINSTALLING
