### 2/5 — This app isn’t the app you see when you first download it

*2026-08-16, version 3.6.5*

So I got this toy for my daughter because she wanted to learn how to do the light magic trick and the employee told us to buy the light help thing and this app (this app is not free). This app is only free for the first week, then you have to pay for it. But it didn’t really tell me anything only the box came with directions and this app didn’t help at all. Don’t get this app this app could be better.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-07-06, version 3.6.5*

Terrible app. Doesn’t work. Videos never load and it sucks the entire fun out of it. Not worth it.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-19, version 3.6.5*

This is so terrible like it wouldn’t even show me like half the tricks return if will you can

### 1/5 — You get one trick, then you have to pay

*2026-06-13, version 3.6.5*

Put a magic kit for my child to play with has a lot of tie ins with the app. Which apparently needs a subscription.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-25, version 3.6.5*

The app does not work AT ALL. When you click on any of the red tricks, it just brings you to the camera section and you can’t do anything. The kit is great, but the app is a waste of memory. Also, did any of y’all notice that the creator is called “prank star ltd?”

### 3/5 — It’s good

*2026-01-29, version 3.6.5*

More tricks please

### 1/5 — Fa schifo

*2026-01-29, version 3.6.5*

Fa schifo non va niente tranne il filmato.

### 1/5 — Camera won’t work.

*2026-01-10, version 3.6.5*

I’ve given the app access to my camera to scan the QR code for the videos but it won’t work! I’ve tried multiple times. Deleting and reinstalling the app! Rubbish!

### 1/5 — SO BAD

*2025-12-28, version 3.6.5*

I wanted a magic set for Christmas and Santa got it but it’s SO BAD!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Totally useless

*2025-12-22, version 3.6.5*

What a disappointment, 39£ for a useless magic box and a useless Apps. Run away !.
