How to install Discovery VR for Cardboard APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download Discovery VR for Cardboard APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.discovery.DiscoveryVR-v1.5.0-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

1 ★Every video plays seven seconds and the stops. I can move around and see what's in 360 view but the video is stuck like it's paused. Uninstalling. I prefer the ease and reliability of plain old YouTube. Post to YouTube and stop wasting time and money on useless apps.
1 ★Sucks, really wanted to use it, but keeps buffering and stopping. Couldn't get past the first few seconds of any video and I'm on a very fast connection.
1 ★Low res, no ability to pause and buffer, no ability to change res. Videos lag even though it's like 480p or lower. No VR controls. Come on discovery, really, some great looking content, really wanted it. But your tech team f'd you Hard. I'm actually Mad because it was so tempting, and then your developers decided: "No No, F you, you can't has it, But feel free to feel nauseous trying to watch it, we think that sh*ts funny." First time vr actually made me nauseated. Deleted.
1 ★When I opened the app was really looking forward to exploring Harley and the Davidson's, Hawaii and everything else that was on there. Except that when you go too play a video, it will only play for about 10 seconds then it stops all together, which I rather disappointing. Please fix so that we can use the app
4 ★The app works well enough on the Priv. There are frequent crashes, but usually on starting the app or returning to the main menu. It doesn't take long to restart, which usually fixes the problem, and my experience was rarely interrupted. When it does work, it is interesting enough with a cheap Gear knockoff. The camera angles aren't great in a lot of the videos though.
3 ★Layout and design looks good. The app freezes when press back before finish loading any video (maybe get stuck on a request). There's no feedback when it's offline, for example: when requests a video, it keeps loading forever, but doesn't show any message like "you're offline, try again later". On splash screen, if I close the dialog offline and turn on internet again it doesn't connect automatically again or even show me again the dialog. And, I know that is not a native android app, but sometimes the app is quite laggy. It has a lot of nice effects, for example the bounce on the main list and the toolbar.
1 ★After watching 3 videos in this app I couldn't readjust my eyes and had a double vision for the next 20 minutes. This app is dangerous! This never happened to me before. I use official Google Cardboard correctly set up with Nexus 5x. Also, videos are not stereoscopic
3 ★App and content are fun, but it needs a couple of things. 1. Navigation while in Cardboard (VR) mode. Can't select videos or start stop them. 2. After the first video played, the app really slowed down. It ended up crashing every time, and I had to reopen it to choose another video. I'm running a Pixel XL. about the best Android phone you can get right now. Fix these, and I'd give it 5 stars.
1 ★5 seconds or so playback stops. Have tried several different videos same results..
1 ★After few seconds of playback the video pauses and never resumes, no matter what Internet connection I use it just gets stuck at the same time. This happens on Android...
1 ★There isn't any option to change the clarity of the video and many other settings. Also to see the video I've to move the whole device all the times instead of just moving the screen like in youtube with fingers. That's really inconvenient. Also no playlists features and lot of other stuffs too
1 ★Every time I tried to watch a video, it would freeze about 5 seconds in. The app looks amazing. I wish I could use it!
