Description: Vrideo is the world’s premier platform for immersive video, also known as “360° video” or “VR video.” Stream videos, see trending and recommended videos, browse content categories, search for videos and channels, and explore channels. Create your own account to subscribe to other channels, like and dislike videos, and add videos to your playlists. Download videos for playback when offline.

Review: When Google added VR functions to Youtube, Vrideo did pretty much the same only on a much bigger scale. At the time of writing this post, they had Google Cardboard, Gear VR, Oculus Rift and Steam VR compatibility! The best way to describe Vrideo is to call it a library of amazing 360 video content that costs nothing to get into. From shark diving to rollercoaster riding, there is something here for everyone and loads to see and do.

Sadly it isn’t the best collection, nor is it the best video player. It’s in a sort of basic category all on its own with many other free video players offering so much more. But this was one of the first and I have to give it credit for that. Sadly for this app times have moved on and we now expect a lot more form a VR video player and 360 video collection. But at least it is free so you can take a look for yourself.
