How to start or play other VR apps with the gear?

I remember someone playing other apps from the Android Play Store with their VR Gear. How do you do this from the Samsung VR app?

Several different ways.

The way I do it is to start the app, such as a roller coaster, then put the phone in place by flipping out the USB connector so that the phone is underneath it.

I haven't had any issues but some people have issues with "screen touches" because the screen must be touching the front of the Gear VR.

Search for cardboard apps on gear vr and you should get some other results.

@Pbelcomp Thanks, i should have though of that, but was worry that I might end up breaking that USB.
