Community Insight:
Thats really rocks our socks off and its perfect for our 12-year-old baby girl named Miao. She loves it so much and we love her so much too and she makes us feel so much better about it too and we cant stop thinking about it every day because we love her and she loves us back so much and Im always happy and so proud to have such an amazing daughter as well as her baby sister, Dolly. We just had her born so we had to get that for her. She is so cute.
This new version is nice, but for us, we would think that the older versions were better. (we mean the older design.) It was just more simple, had more features that you wouldnt have on this one, like the iconic KEY to unlock next levels, the ACHIEVEMENTS, and many more. (Im talking about the one you see when you look at this app on the AppStore, the one that went down from Count to Multiply, NOT across like it does now.
Dont get us wrong we LOVE Osmo its a gray way for kids to learn. But our 10 year old just got one of the new iPads and it wont connect to Osmo. We went on there website to see what kind of iPads it works for and it doesnt work on hers! So we love this game but we dont recommend using if you have an Ipad generation better newer than the 10th generation. Thank you.
We love too play this game so we can get smarter so we play it.And we love animals.
This game is very nice for children to learn all about numbers and there are a few more Osmo apps with numbers. From many different stores, you can order Osmo games usually used for Osmo apps and for THIS, you need those number tiles with simple ones 0-9 and dots 1-2&5. You also need the accessories for the iPad when you play it. Put the numbers they ask you on a piece of A4 paper so it's easier to play. You also learn additions.
So the title changed and another numbers app is in the store but no explanations here or on the website of whats going on. Typical Osmo to keep us guessing.
Fix your apps. All of them go from the camera and then to the sound icon just fine then it gets the the never ending loading screen. Every app the exact same thing.
Very interactive and fun for the whole family.
Our kid loves the games and we think its a nice way to get them to practice. However, the numbers app either freezes in place or starts showing the number of tiles rapidly (1,5,6), but not the actual number 12 and then becomes unresponsive. This causes our child to get annoyed and quit playing. Overall been experiencing issues across all apps. We have the numbers, words, Tangram, drawing and coding.
After reading the direction several times, this is even impossible for an educated adult to understand. It appears we are suppose to be putting in addends but for same reason the game is doubling the numbers. There are multiple bubbles lit up so we arent sure if you are suppose to add those up or tackle them one by one. This was the first game we downloaded and our daughter was so frustrated she wanted to return the whole game. How sad. We highly suggest the developers put their thinking caps back on for this one.
Any one believe in written directions as to how this game works? Spelling and shapes seem to be self evident but this game is worthless.
Our son loves this game. Hes in kindergarten and weve been practicing the number line with this game. Its very motivating for him.
We love this game and it is so fun.
Our son said he didnt like it but our his sister likes.
We downloaded we were happy with it when we tried the first level we used One of the numbers and another One then it starts go for a 8 to 0 then repeats sorry but we give it a 2 out of 5 (Part 2) So we see again in Two years the other problem is fixed but when we put the numbers on it doesnt show anything.
The multiplication portion of the game doesnt work properly. The app displays prime numbers that dont factor between 1 and 9. This is frustrating since we thought it would help with her multiplication tables obviously that is not the case.
This is a great game to learn numbers but we wish it verbally said the number.
It nice and fun, but combos arent detected very often. Although the bubbles are lit up, they pop one at a time and fill the tank quickly. Our daughter has tried so many times to get the third fish on a level, but it seems about impossible… Especially on the first level.
Perhaps matching numbers to what is showing on the screen for younger kids. Current games are confusing.
We play this for our math homework and it helps us so much thanks a bunch.
This game is amazing, you feel like you are playing a video game while learning math.If you dont want this game get pizza co. Hope you like it.
When we help our mom with the laundry we set our brother up with Osmo he loves this app, out of all of them. Although we wish there were more levels and harder ones because for a four year old he is zooming past every level but still amazing idea for younger kids it helps them learn so much in one hour he now knows first grade math and hes in pre school.
Osmo is really fun and we are working on reviews for all the apps. We want more levels. We blew through all the levels in a week. Keep up the great work tangible play! Even though the toy was expensive it was still worth it.
Great game for our 7 and 4 year old! We have the phone stand and have no technical issues. The game progresses with the child. When they reach a high score they unlock a key which enables them to move to the next level. The concept is simple and engaging.
Bought to Christmas and the app doesn't open. Crashes every time. Tried to reach out to customer support and they sent us a video to watch.
The app is currently unusable. It will not connect to our camera. We have tried reinstalling the app to no avail. It's very frustrating to have purchased the game pieces but cannot use it because the app is not working. Reading other reviews, we are not the only one having this issue. Please update this app. We love the other Osmo apps and hope this issue will be fixed.
Numbers is Osmo's killer app. We thought that Tangram was fine, but needed more scaffolding because the puzzles got too difficult too quickly. Words is OK, but the types of words that the user can choose need a picture. Basic words like "the" or concepts like "abstract" don't necessarily have a one-to-one visual component. Numbers is amazing. It is fun, gamified and compelling for students as young as Kindergarten. Numbers absolutely makes the whole Osmo setup worth it. Essential.
Our kids and we love all of the osmo apps. A few things we have had bugs with are not all of our profiles are saving and each of the games needs an exit button for when we may not want to finish a game. This is especially true in the numbers app.
Multiplication level keeps displaying addition. Please update.
App gets stuck in loading screen!! We cannot use it at all.
The app isn't moving beyond the loading screen. We've waited for up to 10 minutes to see if it would move forward without success. We've even reset our iPad and deleted and reinstalled the app without success. Update greatly need bc app doesn't even work at this point. Disappointed.
Kudos to the team for a nice addition to the other games. Addictive and hope for additional levels soon as the initial ones seem to be nearing completion.
We won, but it would be really cool if we actually got the chest.
Cancel the freaking trial. There is NO way to cancel the freaking trial. Dont ever try their apps that asks for free trials.
We love the idea of osmo but so far find all the games very repetitive and our kids gets bored after a few levels. We had high hopes but Im afraid to invest more money. The new dragon math ones look fun but not for the price, especially if repetitive. For claiming to be creative learning they really did not do a good job at varying the types of play within each game.
