Community Insight:
We love pizza and so we love this unlike this game we had called Airplane chefs after awhile they get angry, but in this game you have more time and its super fun the stand fits our iPad perfectly the sensor is pretty good, and we didnt seem to have any glitches and crashing our experience was great! BRAVO ~ Osmo.
This looks great and Im really impressed that it works so perfectly with your face texture too it is so beautiful thank you so happy to see your art and we love so much and Im really proud to be a fan and thank you for sharing your art with us and we hope you have a great day too and we hope to see you soon too and we will see you soon in the future we love you so much and we hope youre having a good day and we hope your day is going well and we hope that you have a good day too and we hope we see you soon we love you too and we hope you have a good day.
We love playing this app bcuz we can make . But, The characters say super weird things that might mean something inappropriate or a bad word in a different language. SO CHECK THAT. But we love it.
We love the game but sometimes it does not read our toppings It gets kind of annoying but we like the game.
So sometimes the camera has a hard time seeing what our son is doing and it crashes sometimes and sometimes not the game is very unpredictable as sometimes it works but sometimes it doesnt but when it works he loves it! Overall we love osmo and are getting more sets soon.
When we first played this game, we thought it was fun. Its been a long while since Ive played it but today we decided to. Because we do not have an iPad that fits on the Osmo stand, we had to use the flap that covers the screen to support our iPad. IT WAS THE WORST!!! Like other people have said, the sensor has a hard time picking up the toppings that we placed on the pizza. When it does, we have a hard time putting the pizza in the oven. And because of this, it thinks that Ive put more than the amount of toppings that we put on there. Another thing that happens is that the customers seem disgusted at EXACTLY WHAT THEY rEQUESTED!!! Maybe its better when the iPad you are using fits on the stand, but we would not recommend. We understand the developers intention, but we think they couldve done better to make sure that this didnt happen. PLEASE FIX AND MAYBE ILL CHANGE MY RATING!!! Signed, Rainbow217.
Our sisters and we love this game and we just wish that every single time each day it glitches and we dont like it and then we shut the iPad down and tried it again but then it started the hole thing over and when we were on day 131! We were mad now we are on day 27 we wish it could change thanks for reading this long long review.
We like the app but it could be better because there is a lot of glitches and they dont get the play a lot because we lost the pieces but then we found them and then every single time we put down a pizza it always says cheese pizza when we actually have pepperoni, anchovies and olives, so we are so mad because it said that we wont be glitches and it is glitching so we dont know what to do because our mom doesnt know how to fix it.
It seems like every one of these games has some ridiculous mistake showing a lack of proof readers. This one has the how to screens talking about a different game entirely with balls and slopes, nothing about pizzas or money. Ps. Did someone steal your game styling for the game, Good Pizza, Great Pizza.
We love the game but when we put it up to the screen it does not do anything.
We really like Osmo games, but were stuck not playing them while waiting for iPad 10 support. Our iPad 4 is no longer supported either, so our son cant play his new Pizza Co., until the 10th gen iPad is supported. Im baffled that Tangible would take so long to support new hardware. When is support coming? Ive read 2023 on the website but a more specific timeline would be appreciated.
The camera doesnt work and it cracked our ipad so than we used the newer one and it put another crack and its like we want 3 mushrooms on our pizza so we put them on one of 2 things happen 1 it doesnt pick up the pieces and they get mad or the pieces on the game somehow a pineapple gets on there or like theyre like we want a kitty cat pizza and then we put the kitty cat on there and its like no we wanted the whiskers facing this way not that way.
Im not sure what bug fixes were recently fixed but this app worked perfectly for our iPad mini before any changes were made. Now, when we put the pizza down and try to put toppings on the pizza nothing is being detected. Every time we slide the pizza over it is just a cheese pizza regardless of any toppings we put on it. Ive already done all of the obvious fixes we can think of: restarting the app, double checking the hardware, deleting the app and reinstalling, making sure we selected the right mirror piece. Nothing works. Before we would have given 5/5 stars but now the whole package is virtually useless to us. If someone from Osmo sees this review we would appreciate any help please.
We really like this game but we got a new tablet and its an iPad Pro. You said its not going to work? WHY? Why cant we play this game? This is so stupid. Can you fix this now? Your going to get a lot of complaints.
Our son would like you to know that he misses having Pizza Co. In the Osmo World ap. It was a lot of fun having the stickers of the Osmo world taking turns prepping veggies and standing in line. We hope it comes back.
We put the topping correctly and the game customer hate it even we put it correctly.
Our daughter love the product she enjoy making pizza! We recommend this product.
Hi our name is dahlia. For Russian Christmas, our aunt Judy gave us osmo pizza co. We are obsessed with this app and we play it all the time . We love making our costumers mad. Every time our costumers gets mad, we just laugh and laugh.
This pizza game (osmo) its very fun it help us to do math thing.
The concept of this game is awesome. Our 4 year old does loves it. However we have a few issues. 1. The made up language the characters speak. We read on the Osmo support page that its Osmolian. Its a make believe language. Why? It makes no sense. This is a learning game. So now our 4 year old repeats a nonsense language. We would love if each character spoke a basic word or 2 from an actual language. Not only would kids be learning about addition, subtraction, fractions and basic money management from this game – they would also learn a little bit of a different language. Osmo support suggest turning down the volume if you find the Osmolian Language distracting. The sounds of the game add to it, why would we want to play a game in silence? 2. Sometimes the game works fine, other times it doesnt. Our son will follow the order exactly and for whatever reason, it doesnt pick up the ingredients or shows ingredients on the pizza that arent on there. Or a character will appear with his or her order and you complete it and send it through the oven and the character gets angry and leaves and shows a completely different order that they wanted. We have updated the iPad, we have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, we have adjusted the lighting, we have wiped down the iPad and the camera and reflector piece. Our son gets really frustrated when those things happen. We do really like this game, it has so much potential, however the made up language the characters speak, and the constant glitches are really a bummer.
Ever since Ive got it Ive been playing with it it is super fun and nicely packaged.
Downloaded app on phone just to get a screen with sorry, does not work on your device we afterwards tried an ipad and get an error with no explanation. So much for easy to use technology.
Please update the app asap as there is no sound after upgrading to the iPad OS15.
We love this game simply because we love , which you can already see in our review username.
This is a great game! Love it, made us hungry.
This game has great things to teach management math and a little science it has been kinda hard to play and its kinda hard but we still love this and now coming back after 2 or 4 years the nostalgia factor makes it 5 stars GREAT GAME Pog champ.
Please update with 20 dollar bill.
The app crashes in the middle of a day before saving losing all the work our children have attained but gaining a lot of frustration.
Our daughter and we will be in the middle of making pizzas and it will just crash and lose the progress we were making. Its incredibly frustrating and our daughter is losing interest. The price is too high for it not to work the majority of the time. We also wish they would have a slower mode. Our daughter just turned 5 and she is struggling to get pizzas made (especially the sunflower) before the customer gets upset. Making change should allow for more time and mistakes so we have time to walk her through the basics of how to calculate the correct amount of change.
You load and it tells you it doesnt support phones ????? Should be taken off of the App Store.
Im 9 and our 5 year old brother loves it! Thanks.
Our sister has it and it looks really fun! And no glitches or bugs.
The game reviews fractions and making change. Its challenges kids in their mental math especially when the pizzeria has a rush hour. Our kids are introduced to vocabulary and reasoning such as Im a pescatarian and kids need to know what that means to complete a pizza order. As an educator, we love this game for our children. Its pricey but worth it.
Hi this Game is very cool we are very excited about this app and we like about it is that you get to learn math at the same time and its fun too! And It will really get kids to have fun and doing math at the same time! Bye we are just a kid by the way.
We wonder what is coming next when you get five star restaurant.
Our six year old loves this game! Like all Osmo games, the combination of curricular concepts, digital design elements, and physical pieces she can manipulate really keeps her engaged in learning. Shes learning about simple addition and subtraction, about bank notes (the $2 note is a minor misstep by Osmo in an American context, we think) and coins, and about basic business concepts like saving, income and expenditure, profit, customer satisfaction, reviews, and so on. The made up words spoken by the characters are also fun. This is well worth the price.
It teaches your kid what they would do at school Osmo has changed our kids life at first we thought it just game but it is a learning app We love Osmo.
It wouldnt want to pick up the pizza. We put on pepperoni on it and it showed nothing. We put pineapple on half of the pizza but the customer was sad.
Our 4 year old loves playing this game and it's a great way to introduce math concepts as well as following directions. We have only played the bills only setting as he is still young but there are too many instances where the customer leaves exact change which takes away from the child doing the math themselves. The change is also very repetitive. The other issue is the goals take a long time to accomplish. For example on average we make around $40-50 per "day" in profit but our main goal was to save $800 so it took quite a while to save up and our son would start to get bored. Perhaps if there were more/smaller milestones it could keep his attention for longer periods. Despite these issues it still a fun game and we love Osmo.
This is a very slow moving game, having to wait for each customer to arrive. And then half the customers only want cheese pizza which means you dont really have to follow any sort of counting or directions. It would be nice if this game had just the option to build pizzas, similar to the Shapes game. We only recommend this for kids who have extreme patience and prior math/reading skills. Also there are a lot of word bubbles but the monsters just mumble. It doesnt work for non-readers, or beginner readers who read slowly. The word bubbles dont last long.
Hello our Osmo game will let us play because we have a iPad Pro 11 can you please try to make Osmo compatible with the iPad Pro 11 thank you.
When we had a vip Customer a Topping Was added and we didnt add it.
App Store says it is compatible with this iPad, but does not work on iPad Pro 11.
The app is okay and we are a kid news reporter and so far this app is nooooooooot the best. We just wish it would work because today we were not able to get through the app.
Osmo is really great but theres one thing that crepes us out anges is super scary when anges makes a mad face its REALLY SCAREY please take him off thank you.
We think the game is great. There is just a little problem. The camera has a hard time seeing what is on the pizza. For example, when we put pepperoni on the pizza, sometimes the camera thinks it is a cheese pizza. That is ridiculous because we always put the camera in the correct place. The people also don't speak English-so weird because we're in America! Though, there are pictures of what they want. Overall, the game is fun.
Our daughter was using this last night and the game continued to crash on her midway through selling pizzas. We find the game is very fun and we believe it will help her learn. We think she really likes it, but she is frustrated by the crashing and shes going to start playing it. She is using an iPad Air which is supported so they shouldnt be crashing. While the app is free, the pizza kit is not, so presently this feels like money that has been wasted.
After the latest update, the game keeps crashing mid way through and does not pick up where they left off and that frustrates the kids. Please update- they do love this game when it works.
There are few things more frustrating than a child opening a gift and it not working. Particularly when the device we are using is listed as being supported. We have the Little Genius kit which works. However the onboarding/setup experience is clumsily designed. Using a standalone app to download the required app is tedious. The guiding design principle should be get it in a childs hands as fast as possible. No unnecessary steps. Speed.
This game is amazing but we wish there was more things like new restaurants that you could buy, or employees to help you we just hope it gets an update soon.
