I like the learning concepts, but what I did not like is that you need a iPad to use this product and that you have to take the case off of a iPad that you use that is a huge downside for a lot of parents

I was eyeing this for my kids for a while and finally gave in. While they did enjoy it initially for a couple of hours (ages 3, 4, 5), no one asked to play it the next day, which is how I know that it’ll just sit and collect dust. Also I think it’s worth mentioning I think there’s room for improvement. They would do the exercises correctly but the program would say it was incorrect, even if the lighting and space between the mat and base were good. And then of course there’s the issue that it’s not compatible with protective gear which makes it a nuisance if you have to take off the case every time.

I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old daughter. Some of the concepts are a bit advanced for her, but she absolutely loves it. I’m sure it will be helpful with her learning. It also captures her attention until I stop her which is quite an accomplishment with a toddler. I can’t wait to try more of the games with her.

I loved this learning game for our soon to be 4 year old. We played with him and helped guide him to pick the right shapes. He was so excited he didn’t want to stop playing games and making shapes/letters. It is unfortunate that it isn’t compatible with a case but because we are with him when he plays with this it isn’t a big deal to me. I also would like to note we bought this on sale for $50.00 instead of $80.00. I’m not sure I would have spent the full $80.00 on it but it’s worth the $50 we spent! I can’t wait to buy more games as he grows!

Incompatible with Protective Cases

1 out of 5 stars
Would not recommend
MelBus - 2 years ago
Like a few other reviewers, I found it exceptionally disappointing that this is incompatible with basically ANY protective case for your iPad. It even says it’s incompatible with any screen protector as well. What product DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUNG CHILDREN would require you to have a completely unprotected device? This seems like a really stupid design flaw by the designers. This is a dealbreaker for our family as we’re not about to hand over our $500 iPads to our 3 year old. Osmo, please do better. Your product seems like a good concept, but an adjustable base doesn’t seem that difficult.

Ordered this for my just turned 5 year old. This is not too advanced or too young. He has spent many hours over the last week playing and I’m completely ok since it’s learning games. I’ll definitely be buying more of Osmo!

Target Shopper - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
I bought this for my little guy who turned 3 a couple months back. I like the idea of Osmo but it’s definitely glitchy. Kiddo was forming his letters. They were perfect. The software kept saying they were wrong. I corrected the lighting. Still wrong. I placed my hands over the mat and somehow it read the letters as correct. Literally, you could see my fingers in the snapshot it took. There were other times when the kiddo was right but the snapshot was incomplete so visually the saved version was incorrect. This sends a ton of mixed messages and I loom forward to their correction. In the meantime, we’ll return it and wait for better.

I was a bit hesitant to buy because of the price but when I saw it go on sale I bought it. So happy I did! Both my kids ages 4 and 6 love it. The games are very engaging and have the ability to set up multiple profiles in the game (one for each kid).

Disappointing

3 out of 5 stars
Daniellible - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
This is my second attempt with Osmo. The first was after an Osmo set was given as a Christmas gift. I don’t know about everyone else but we keep our iPads safely locked inside a protective case. In order to use this, I must remove the case every. single. time. So I strip off the ol’ otterbox and situate the Osmo game for a full 5-15 minutes of engagement. I thought the first failure was due to lack of effort on my end. After this, I now realize that it’s just not an amazing product. And it’s overpriced. There are SO MANY better apps out there. And SO MANY other options that will never require me to remove my protective gear.
