Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love this game its so fun you can play with this monster and its fun. Maybe some people experienced glitching or other issues but for us its a win! Our parents love watching us play osmo games and love buying more of the packs for us, so we like it.
Now we dont play this game anymore,but it looks awesome and makes us want to play it again!When we were little,we played this game ALL THE TIME and it just helped our boredom.Because how fun it looked we wanted to buy it again.AKA Awesome game.
We can now Draw Mio Mao thanks to this app.
This is so much fun for our kids and they are so happy that what ever they draw it comes up on the screen and it makes them so tired that now we get our full 10 hours of sleep you should really get ozmo for your kids.
We recommend this awesome game so realistic.
It is so funn a 3 year old will LOVE it your kid will probably play it every day and its so funny.
Oh our gyat this is soooooooo cool.
We love the app so much! But the problem is that it is 2025, and osmo is pretty old, like at least our age, and Im sad bc we tried playing osmo today, and when we drew the drawings it was all blurry, and shaped like a trapezoid. Then, we figured out that it DOESNT work on newer iPads(bc the projector doesnt work on that type of iPad), which Im super upset abt. If you could make a newer projecter, that we could buy at like a local target, that would be SO amazing. Best regards, silliest_goober:3.
The minter game is technically our fav, but sometimes our drawings lose sides from time to time , the monster talks weird like when we go on an adventure, and he asks if we should bring a cheese burger or a pan, he says a cheeseburger weirdly. Lastly,he never really knows what Im drawing. Fix these.
So we said our mom and download then she says you need osmo stuff then had it 2 years ago. So when you exit it and come back to osmo monster then dance sfx gone. So thats a talk osmo.
We love this game it was easy and fun but we whish there were a one that you don't need the access accessories and update it because it repeats over and over again so we suggest a unique update that's it.
So it was our birthday yesterday and we were super excited for this but when we were drawing the stuff we put on the board it didn't appear so please fix this. For your information the only thing that did appear is a pink scribble.
We got this so many years ago but we still use it we thought Osmo would pop out he didnt very nice toy but the cost is outrageous we spent 120 dollars and five year.
On our iPad Pro 9.7, the app cant work properly. It tried two weeks ago and it still doesnt work. All of the saved magic shows and adventures are still in the gallery, but the game worked only once! We clicked on the gallery button and we went back to the Home Screen. What should we do.
What is the fix to use OSMO apps with a newer iPad? We use this app with many of our students and now we cant access the apps. Please help.
We think osmo is fun because you can do fun things in it.
The only thing it needs is an update because it gets boring after a while of doing the same thing. Also maybe a drawing contest with monster.
His eye is black we think you kill him but still love this game.
So we redownloaded the game and for some reason every time you draw something it turns into a big pink scribble and its not just one thing its every thing you draw idk if its the bored or the reflector thing but whatever it is its not working sobut its a good game overall.
We got this for our birthday we know Osmo before we got for our birthday we know Osmo by our cousin giving us the set with all of them but we lost them so we got the one with the drawing board and we love the two other apps newton and masterpiece.
We have all the Osmo games and run them without issue. But the sound doesnt work on this one. No sound at all.
Sound in app does not work, every other app works and has sound but this one.
We hate mo the monster . He is too friendly, talks way too much, and snores super loud. Please kick mo the monster out of this game and turn him into a real monster with black fur , big eye brows, sharp eyes , super long claws that scratch people, huge feet, and a very deep voice.
Im 7 years old we love this game so much nothing is wrong to us with it we love silly Mo.
Its really fun so we draw something for Mo then he picks up our drawings brings them to life. Why do we like it? Because we love Osmo.
This game doesnt need a login we want it to be free so everyone can have fun fast so please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please take it off and Merry Christmas.
Its like the drawings of the animals that are popping in from our drawings are actually alive, and thats so cool. Its like Im dreaming but Im really not, and even though we dont have the Creative Board, we can still use our whiteboard! It does have a drawback, however. Some of our drawings are missing sides some of the time, even though our whiteboard is vertically shaped, the way its supposed to be. Either way, though, its still a great game overall, the coolest of all Osmo games to us.
There is a glitch with the whiteboard and pen where it comes out as a lot of pixels.
We were about to him put the camera thingy on our iPad and it wasnt the right thing so Im super bummed out that they didnt make a different one for the next year so when it comes out theyre compatible Im really bummed out so we have to wait when much for this to get here that is really disappointing one star.
Why dies this app not draw anything please fix the glitches so that our child can enjoy this.
It is just the same pink scribbles even tho our artwork is impeccabley amazing.
We remember playing this game a few years ago and it was probably the best game we had played then. This game is great with all the activities and would be fun for young children.
We love all the food you can make.
We got this game when we were 4 and now Im 8 and we still play this game. Except we prefer a living room for Mos house.
We like the app so much and we are 11 years old…..but, why if you add some new things? We are bored from replaying the same game, Add new things like make levels, make create and more.
A very good game for kids to keep them busy & creative.
We love this game so much. Us and our baby brother got this for Christmas last year and have had a blast playing with it. The only thing that we dont like is that you have to buy the parts separately but thats all that is wrong. Like we said we love this game so much but it needs some tweaks.
Ok so we need this fixed so iPhones work on it please its been years and Ive been crying for all those years because of this.
This is really fun, but most of the time, when we do the magic show, the problems are, Mo sleeps, Mo gets smaller and bigger, and he disappears. But we only got the sleeping one 2 times in a row. And he says all the time, Want to take a break? Meaning that he wants to sleep. He is a sleep BEGGAR! Like this game though. Just dont do the sleeping one all the time. OMG LIKeE THIS MONSTER DUDE HE JUST SLEEPS All the time.
OK lets get this straight. This is a fun game but, you start in the bedroom and the only way to go into the bathroom kitchen or any other part, you have to do an adventure. We do not really like the adventures. So we do not really like this game. We would like the creator of this game to add more and to be able to do any room without having to do it and adventure first. Thank you for reading this and we hope you understand kind of how this app works. ONE STAR!!! PLEASE FIX.
When ever we trie to re draw mo's bed it doesn't let us do we think that there's a bug in the game.
We really wanted to play this we hate osmo get it back on iPhones or Ill give all the games no stars.
It helped us learn and have fun at the same time we loved osmo we recommend Osmo Meow.
This was for ages 5-10 but it was to boring for us and Im 9.
We are 9 years old and we think this is a really great game. Its fun to draw and decorate rooms. Mo, the monster is so funny and weird! You need to buy the osmo accessories like the base and stuff. We were so confused when we did not have the accessories at first but then we got them for Christmas. Overall we wanna say its cool. An add comes up at first and that might be confusing because you think that is the game but up top it says remind us next time and we can hardly see it. So we just wanna mention the add. Its a fun app.
This app consistently crashes at startup on iPad Pro 11. Neither the app description nor the packaging of the Creative Starter Kit indicates that it works only with old iPad models. Complete waste of money. And our kids are very disappointed.
Osmo monster is a good game but sometimes our drawings look really bad because of the mirror but its still a good game. We hope that there will be an update. Actually,a lot of people are angry that you arent updating the game. Please update this game or nobody will ever play these games. Keep improving the app please.
We entered in our dads email it said it had sent the code and our dad checked his phone and the code wasent there we clicked try again 2 times 10 minutes later still nothing.
This app is amazing we use it everyday we give it 10/10 stars.
