It clearly says root required in the description. Don't give one star reviews because you're too lazy to read the description and/or Google what root is

Does the job well on my s6. If this doesn't work for you, check if your phone is rooted! If not use a different app!

Works perfectly on 6.0.1 using Samsung Galaxy S6. Thanks so much for doing this mate! Needs a rooted phone people, or it will not work :)

Works fine on the S6. Prevents Oculus Home from launching so you can use other apps with Gear VR. You need to load those before sticking the phone into the headset.

There seems to be a lack of detailed instructions on how to enable this apps function. A more descriptive activation would be helpful.
