Combined, Cardboard apps have been downloaded 160 million times on Google Play, and 30 of these apps have more than one million downloads.

Google also shared a few stats about the Daydream headset. On average, people are using it for about 40 minutes per day. The headset is currently compatible with six smartphones, and there are about 100 different Daydream apps available, with more coming soon.
