Compatibility with Oculus Go apps
It would be great to be able to get back into a few of my Oculus Go apps on the Quest. I personally purchased quite a few games and apps and I would be delighted to keep them all together on the higher quality Quest.

Good news! This feature is now live as of the v9 software update that has rolled out this week! Check the top left corner of your library for a drop down that will allow you to view your Go / Gear VR apps and games that are compatible with Oculus Quest. Enjoy!

@Jimmy - I have the v9 update on my Quest bought last Friday.
There is no dropdown in the upper left of my library that allows me to use my purchased Go apps.
Specifically, since Skybox VR only supports video and not stills, I need Pigasus VR to view high resolution panoramic photos. Oculus Gallery reduces the resolution of such images for some reason (a 15k pixel wide image looks the same as 7.5k, but in Pigasus looks somewhat sharper. Moreover, Pigasus supports zoom and Gallery does not.)
Also the developer of Pigasus is the only one who has acknowledged the existence of the Google Photosphere XMP metadata standard documented at https://developers.google.com/streetview/spherical-metadata and stated that they're looking into adding it to their roadmap. More than a year after Go launched, Oculus Gallery is still missing this capability, leaving posting to Facebook and using Facebook Photos (at severely reduced resolution, a 360 image with a 4k width limit is very low quality) as the only option other than padding up the image with black pixels.
Since there is not a way to run Pigasus on Quest without sideloading, why is this marked as "completed"?

Are there any plans for Oculus Rooms & Catan? Literally the only two apps I'm keeping the Go for.

I purchased the Go and i loved it. I traded it in for my Quest and its a great upgrade. I know you want the Quest to be a console and only have elite level apps but all of my Go apps are more than capable to run on the Quest, yet it remains handicapped. Coaster Combat was my go to and my entire family adored it. The other Quest apps are cool as well. Its time for Oculus to open up a little and be consumer friendly. Maybe people wouldn't to side load as much.

I heard there was going to be a 3dof mode, if so can we ditch one controller and have access to oculus go applications

I agree with this. I technically know that the Quest can play any 3DOF game the Go or GearVR can fine (especially if you finish adding the "in the dark" 3DOF toggle mode to the Quest). It is frustrating to not play my library of Go and Gear stuff on the Quest. Forcing users into two platforms, when one of them has the technical capability to do everything the lower end one does is irritating and feels dishonest. You should allow OWNED Go games to work on Quest.
(I said this elsewhere in a different one as well)/

I own both Oculus Go and Oculus Quest, I have held back purchasing games on the Quest as I don't want to pay for them twice. I'm an Android phone user and when I upgrade my Android phone my apps are downloadable again for the Google Play Store. Oculus should do the same it would encourage people to upgrade their hardware and explore more apps.

I'd love a 3DOF mode for the Quest with Oculus app support. I know it's not trivial, because the controls are different, but I do feel like there's a need for backward compatibility, so that Go users could transition to a Quest.

The thought of buying apps all over again certainly puts me off getting a Quest. It makes a lot of sense to be able to use your apps on both headsets.

It would be a great feature to get some people to upgrade. Also their investment would pay off.

Quest users don't want apps that "kinda work" - with missing 4dof, false button mapping and unoptimized control schemes. Will never happen.

Absolutely. I'm very disappointed/surprised that the first party titles especially aren't on Quest. Dead and Buried, Swingstar, etc.

Even if it was just a sectioned off part of the Quest menu that identified it as limited Go emulation. I barely touch my Go but I have a lot of titles I would like to revisit without dusting it off.
