Community Insight:
We highly recommend this game to even 10-year-old girls which we are. This is amazing. It has really intrude artwork. Theres a show called the amazing world of gumball and we drew gumball Darwin, Richard, Nicole and Anias and we never could have done that without this app, we love how you can go into your photos a and select which one you want. We just go on Google and take a photo of these characters. Ive even drawn in roomie from K-pop demon hunters, and some of our favorite KATSEYE members, you can find the art set on Amazon target and Walmart. It is amazing parents. We highly recommend this for your kid. Thank you owner for making this an amazing game. Happy Valentines Day to everybody.
We love to draw and want to become an artist someday. This app is really helpful. There are a lot of complaints about it not working with iPhones. It works when you use an iPad without the case/cover, and the setup equipment. We especially like the feature that allows you to take a photo and then draw it. That is how we make our portraits. Best of all, you don't have to pay! We considered using Simply Draw instead, but this is better because its free. We would not recommend it for younger kids because while Masterpiece helps significantly with drawing, its not entirely a piece of cake. Adults and older kids will love this app as much as we do. We just wish it would load faster though.
We wish you could do it with out a base or a reflector which l do not have. So we can only do it during our tech class. But it is REALLY fun.
The app is amazing and it really helps out our drawing abilities. We strongly suggest it.
This is one of the best drawing apps Ive ever used but you cant listen to music.
Give this a three star rating cause when we play it one our iPhone after its just downloaded, the game says it not compatible and makes us go to the website. Ive had this game for three days and havent drawn a single thing because the website is down. Please see if you can fix this.
This app is very fun and we love the drawings but we wish it made the lines less thin when you take a pic.
This app is great when it works but the list of devices it works with seems to shrink with every update. It doesnt work on iPhone 15s. Wont even install. Used to work on iPhone 11. Now it doesnt. No warning either and no way to get older version of apps Not just iPhone either. Used to work on Fire tablets, now it stops working on ones it used to work on. If you use their setup program, it says that it wont work with the old reflector- even though it does. You have to uninstall and reinstall and skip all the setup questions in the onboard process. This is very frustrating for parents so dont install with kids around.
We wish it was multiple game that you can play with all the drawing set And the markers were trash markers and the needs like a paper that you can draw over it to trace because it's pretty difficult and we you to don't w waste your money on this we are so we just wasted our money don't do the mistake like we did don't get this app.
This is the best game ever on Osmo. And it is amazing.
This isAwesome game why do people get angry at this game.
We think you should make it so you dont need to use the camera and we dont know how to put our drawing in the Osmo gallery.
Why does this game have so many apps and one app with all the games in it. Its not the best game.
This is a very good app, but its 1 star here because for whatever reason, the camera just freezes. No matter if Im trying to draw with it or Im taking a photo, the camera just isnt working and will not move. This makes this app pretty much unusable, because Ive tried reinstalling and restarting our iPad but nothing seems to change and we dont think its our iPads fault because the camera works with every other app we have (none of them are osmo related however).
The masterpiece game is good and all but there is one hard thing but we ignore the hard thing took a picture of the osmo app then drew it and did the same thing on a Sonic then we drew the Sonic.
This game is AWSOME! We can draw whatever we want.
This app is so awesome! It is kinda challenging at first, but once you get the hang of it, its makes art way more fun and easy! It also makes your free hand art much better! Everyone will be soo impressed with your art.
When we asked our mom if we could get it she said yes! So when we used it it gave us a thought in our head and we could use it, but after a week or so it stopped working and we couldnt get in and we bet our parents would not even fix it so please fix this app and we also cannot search so please fix it.
When we are trying to type it just sets us in a random spot in our word. It really makes it difficult to type and its really time consuming. Is anyone having this problem.
We got it for our Birthday and our mom got it so good.
But also the pictures are way to hard.
How do you do it It looks hard to do it.
We Looooooooooove this! Seriously! Most fun EVER! We can actually draw! Love love love love love.
We love playing osmo masterpiece but the search bar doesnt work and it wont let us submit our drawings can someone please help us we really wanna be able to use the search bar and get on the wall of fame – we dont understand why it isnt working but we have already checked the help center and we dont know what to do can someone please help us we also know how to draw on it already Ive made like 10,000,000 drawings its just we cant use the search bar or submit the drawings so we have to take screenshots off google go into the camera roll in osmo masterpiece and select it instead of searching it then after our hard work we cant submit it?! Its just stupid we mean we love this game we would give it 5 stars but this is what ruins it for us please FIX IT.-confused and upset 10 yr old.
Our app is no longer recognizing the drawing base. And the camera zooms in so much that it only captures 40% of the drawing area.
K, first whenever the is a SPECK of something not white it glitches and moves the pic over to hight AND im a drawer and this is NOT ok! So fix that, then we think you sould make something wher you dont get lousy work just because you dont have a osmo board -draawingGOD.
Our siblings and we got the Osmo Masterpiece kit 7 years ago as a present for Christmas. Its a fantastic app!!! Its really easy to use and understand, except for one thing. Just recently, in the past year or two, its started glitching really badly. The worst glitch is when your picture moves around on the drawing screen so that it doesnt align with what you have already done. Other glitches are us getting kicked out completely and the search not working. All of this may be because our iPad is 5 years old, but thats decent still for an iPads lifespan.
We got the Osmo for a birthday gift a couple years back, and it gave us hours of fun. After about a year we got bored of it, so we deleted all of the apps. Just today we decided to download it again because we wanted to draw some random stuff, and it just wasnt the same. When we would be drawing the lines would just randomly start to move around the screen. We would be extremely upset, but we would simply move them back. This worked for about two seconds until they would move again, and they would get smaller or larger. We would get very stressed because it would do this when we would be doing very detailed designs, and then they would move to an unfixable position. So if you are extremely patient and willing to deal with this for some silly drawing then we would recommend this app, if not dont waste your time with it and your money in the started and games.
Ok so Im drawing, and the screen keeps moving every 2 seconds. We choose a complex image, and messed it up because of this. We have tried several of different osmo accounts but nothing works- this is usless. It took us 1 hour rather than 20 minutes to draw this. Wow.
When we have everything set up in both settings and the iPad settings too, it only shows us a blank white screen. We know our camera works and it should be compatible, however, that is not the case. Please fix this monumental problem because we are honestly not gonna ever use it if this problem persists. Thank you for your time.
Is it possible to download our own line drawings into Masterpiece.
Any time we try to draw on this app it keeps moving the drawing and we can never get it in the same place so our drawing always is wonky and it is soooooooooooooooooooo frustrating so if you are looking for a drawing app KEEP LOOKING.
We dont know how to make a video.
Though the game is fun masterpiece keeps moving the pic your trying to draw.
Hi omso. Our name is Justin hayden Payne, and Im 8 years old we just got the first 3 apps. So now Im getting more, and Im going to be 9 on This year. See you soon. Love The Payne family. :) hugs and kisses.
Good app! We can draw really good from this and it really supercharges your drawing skills. You can really make a masterpiece. The only problem is that when you search, it freezes. That needs to be fixed. Other than that, its great.
We really love it its very fun we do it all the time but when we spent almost a full hour on a drawing all we wanted was the vid of us drawing so when we finished it said draw longer to make a video.
Our our baby sister just sent us the Osmo World genius kid our daddy just put it behind his back he said first dont eat the Oreos on the couch because at least boxes and this app called Osmo World and Tangram and this one is the one from numbers and this one is for awards.
This has helped our sketching and drawing so much! Our whole family loves it! It is perfect for all ages even adults! We drew our baby sister and our aunts said it was better than anything they had ever drawn! Thank you.
We used all the Osmo apps for several years with our kindergarten classes and the children loved it as we did. We are retired now and wanted to use Masterpiece for our own enjoyment. However although our iPads have moved on, Masterpiece has not. We use the 11 in. IPad Pro which fits just fine in the Osmo base, but Masterpiece wont work. It will pretty soon become obsolete if you do not update the app to play on newer tech. Considering the price of the base set (which was $100 when we purchased it and is probably more now) it doesnt seem fair that you dont update the app to play on the newer iPads. The Osmo system is great if it works on your gadget, and we would have given five stars if it did.
We got our kit about 2 years ago, and we loved it. It helped us show our creativity, and let us draw everything we wanted to with ease. Though, we were very disappointed when we found out that phones dont work any more. We have up in the app for about 4 months when we wanted to try again. We opened the app when it said that it fixed the phone problem. We were super happy, but when we went in, it wasnt working for us. We just tried to do it again 7 months later, and It still isnt working for us. This is very annoying, because if it was working, it would be our favorite app. Btw we have iPhone XS. Idk If that causes the problem, but Im still disappointed. Pls fix this :(.
This has been rendered useless to us due to the freezing. Weve ensured all other apps are closed when we kick it off. Weve soft reset. Weve uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing fixes it.
It takes a long time but it doesnt have all of the details and lines Im looking for. We hope our picture gets in the wall of fame.
So when we got this app we approved our drawing skills from 10 to 1000! All star app and it will really help you get more advanced.
This is amazing but we complain about no updates and we already drew all the pictures but it still is amazing if youre bad at art you can just trace the lines.
Crashes on iPad mini doesnt work – have two iPad minis and it works on one but not the other. Unstable please fix.
This app is a terrible! We paid 70 dollars just to find out that they Something went wrong and they werent able to recover, it also says at the beginning that it doesnt support the iPad we have. It showed a list of iPads that were supported, and our iPad was on there.
Upgrade we pad now none of the 5 games we have will work. Tech support said we are just very small firm. We dont have resources to figure it out. Give us break.
Dont get it, it is not a good app.
Camera freezes and then it crashes. Fix it.
