Manually pair the controller via Bluetooth to your phone (I think my controller showed as ‘BD&A’ or something like that), then open the “MOGA Universal Driver” app, and continue the setup, and add it to your keyboards. (2) Download the “MOGA UNIVERSAL DRIVER” from the playstore. The redemption code included in the box for a free game also doesn’t work. I wasted hours trying to get this to work before conceding defeat and giving up. Importantly… THE MOGA PIVOT APP DOES NOT WORK WITH THE OCULUS APP. Unless you want it for the games on their website which (a) aren’t good (b) aren’t free (c) reportedly no longer work or download properly. MY TIPS FOR THE “MOGA POCKET” CONTROLLER: The “MOGA Pocket” is an older controller (but feels good and works well enough) that’s on Amazon for only $6 right now so why not? (That’s way less than what I paid for it 6 months ago.) It took me a little while to track down the info on this. It works with the Samsung goggles if you set it up properly. I happened to have the “MOGA Pocket” Bluetooth game controller already, just by chance. This is a ‘Google Cardboard’ thing, and once again does not apply to anything from the Oculus store. Don’t get confused when you read online about people using ‘magnets’ to control VR apps. It also gives you access to some of the content that requires a controller. Although the Samsung VR goggles come with a touchpad controller on the side, which can do MOST stuff, life can be a little easier with a separate Bluetooth controller (sometimes). ![]() A number of the VR players on there will also allow you to play your own content from your SD Card. (3) Definitely try the Netflix app, Moon VR player, Samsung Milk VR, Titans of Space. This is definitely not required, and these apps are run EXTERNALLY to the Oculus app and it’s ecosystem.) Basically… you don’t! (NOTE: you will find ‘Google Cardboard’ VR apps in the Google Play Store, and also find online workaround tips on how to use ‘Google Cardboard’ apps with the Samsung VR goggles. I found there is not too much about the how to access the Samsung VR/Oculus apps written anywhere – I did search beforehand and was a little confused as to what was available and how to download them from Google Play Store. There appears to be no way of doing it without the goggles, so like me you will be just wasting your time looking. ![]() (2) If you are like me and want to try and download the Oculus app and additional content prior to the arrival of your goggles don’t worry about it. The setup is really easy so don’t stress if you are concerned about a big setup process. (1) The download and installation of the REQUIRED Oculus app is fully automatic once you connect your phone. A good number of the apps you can access for free, through the Oculus store, are pretty impressive even just simply accessing their main menu screens. Oculus have done a great job and Samsung has done well to pair with them. ![]() It’s your very first look into the VR world, and as soon as you put the goggles on you know you are in for something special. It looks professional and sets the tone for a great VR experience. ![]() The Oculus app is it’s own ecosystem of apps… and all other apps are launched from WITHIN the Oculus app. The Oculus app, and store (that come included – and are indeed required) is great. I’m using my goggles with a Galaxy S7 Edge (no screen protector – as instructed by the goggles instructions). I’m also not an optometrist/ophthalmologist so hopefully my opinions are close to correct. I only mention this now, not to brag, but it will become pertinent later when I bring up a couple of things I’ve learnt about myself from operating with Night Vision Goggles (NVG’s). I also don’t suffer from motion sickness. I have 20/20 vision and have never required any vision correction. Although if someone wants to send me some free ones they are more than welcome )įirst some background. They were not a freebie in return for a review (unfortunately). I’ve been waiting for these googles my whole life, but sadly I’m afraid I might have to wait a little longer.
