User reviews

Great app. But how do I get rid of the annoying message that keeps on popping up "Let's try something..."? Pls add a function to 'favourite' & go back to them later. Also function to tag as viewed so I don't have to see ones I've already seen. Likewise tag ones I don't like to exclude.

If you have a new cardboard viewer, check out this app. It's very basic, but immediately illustrates the use of VR. Photos are showing in low-ish resolution. 5 starts if you change that.
