Social presence apps

So I'm wondering what are all of the upcoming and available social apps for the Gear VR?
This is the list I have currently:
1. Oculus Social Alpha
2. SomoGlo VR (on sideload)
3. Altspace (upcoming Gear VR support)
4. Convrge (upcoming Gear VR support)
5. Vtime (to be released this month)

This isn't including games that have multiplayer capability (like VR Karts and Shooting Showdown 2)
There's also Janus Vr and VR chat, but those only have desktop compatibility

Is there anything else to add to this growing list? I'm assuming that social presence in VR will eventually be the norm.

    I think eventually there will be a prefab or API for adding social to an app.
    There has been a lot of talk about card games or board games or social arcade.

    Everyone in Oculus Social also wants a way to manage friends list or see who's online.

    People also want the ability to answer calls. I think the audio quality should be lowered because Netflix uses less bandwidth than Oculus social.

    Keep talking and nobody explodes
    Quake but I couldn't find anyone on server and the game made me dizzy.
