User Reviews

Cardboard offers a simple, accessible VR experience with 3D and 360-view content, aligning with Google Cardboard’s affordable VR idea. However, many reviews cite device compatibility issues, instability and crash behavior, lack of Daydream/controller support, missing viewer procurement info (QR code), and occasional installation problems—making it feel outdated or unsupported on newer devices.

Pros

Easy to use / user-friendly
3D/VR viewing support
Great for viewing 360-degree images
Aligns with Google Cardboard concept and affordable VR idea

Cons

Compatibility issues with newer devices (e.g., Pixel 7) / outdated app on newer Android versions
Crashes or unstable performance (quits when turning head; video viewer navigation causing brightness issues)
Limited hardware support (not compatible with Daydream or requires specific headset controllers)
Missing QR code / viewer procurement information and guidance (where to get / how to set up)
Download/install difficulties or limited availability on some devices

Recent reviews

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.
