However, it hasn’t functioned for months now - just shows the Osmo logo and doesn’t move on. The support page is down and there’s no one to contact. It’s hugely disappointing. ### 1/5 — Terrible And Pathetic *2024-08-05* Crashed so hard! I had the game almost beat but then all my progress got deleted plus the reader can’t read it. Bad glitches all these reviews are right this game is trash. ### 1/5 — Deserves 0 *2023-02-27, version 4.0.0* INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE, APP Doesn’t work ### 2/5 — App crashes constantly *2022-04-17* The game is fun and we like it, but it crashes mid game all the time. We are at the point where we won’t play it anymore since it crashes and we lose progress. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2022-02-26, version 1.3.1* Wish I read the reviews before purchasing the tiles. I have the software and purchased the tiles, and the app isn’t part of it. You have to purchase the app!!! Cost just as much as the tiles. Such a rip off. Come on Osmo, do better. ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-09-07, version 1.2.1* Useless ### 1/5 — It won’t stop loading *2021-06-28* It worked poorly at first it doesn’t recognize the tiles most of the time now it won’t load ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2021-04-21, version 1.1.2* Glitchy interface; the app sometimes doesn’t recognize the tile it’s asking you to put down. The timer will go on and off and we can’t proceed in the game. Secondly, this game is truly boring. Complete waste of money. Requested a refund based on the glitch (which wasn’t an issue in the free trail) and the request was rejected. Almost $40 CAD for 45 mins of glitchy play. ### 2/5 — Cute game that crashes *2021-04-10* This game could be much more fun if it weren’t for the constant crashing. We get to the second sequence and have yet to get past two turns as it crashes and doesn’t save our progress. We’ve tried all number of players without success. I have no idea what the other levels have to offer but if it were just this amount...LAME. ### 1/5 — Worst Osmo game do not waste your money *2021-03-29* This game is so bad. It doesn’t talk so you must read it all to your child. The game doesn’t teach anything. It is just boring repetition. Avoid at all costs. ### 1/5 — I paid for the hardware, NOW you tell me I have to buy the software also??? *2021-03-24, version 1.1.2* This is ridiculous, and I’m returning all three Osmo kits I just purchased. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-03-23* This game is SO slow and not good practice for my child. Hard to understand and seems to be just building numbers....I also cannot see how to cancel so I don’t get charged, it’s not clear. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2025-02-18* My kids absolutely loved this game and now it no longer works. It is frozen in the red Osmo logo. Please fix! ### 1/5 — App won’t load - unusable! *2025-01-29* I have tried three times to use this app, but it keeps getting stuck on the red Osmo logo screen with Osmo mirror graphic at the top. I have deleted and redownloaded. Please fix! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-01-23, version 4.0.3* The game doesn’t work, it doesn’t load. We can’t reach the Osmo support. ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2025-01-22, version 4.0.3* Purchased this app in 2022 it works for about a year without issues. Since then, we have not been able to log into it despite purchasing the app I reached out to Osmo for support I was told some system engineers would get back to me. They never did. I recently tried to login again because it’s my daughter’s favorite game this time I did receive a code to get into the app and restore my purchase. But the app has completely frozen on the Osmo screen and will not go further. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. I tried on a different iPad that is up-to-date on software. The app is completely not working. I sent an email to Osmo letting them be aware I can see on the Osmo forum. Other parents are having the same issues that the app is not loading. I hope Osmo reads this and will fix the app and update parents. ### 1/5 — Freezes on startup *2025-01-04, version 4.0.3* This app must not be supported anymore. It simply freezes upon startup. Please fix the app. ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2024-12-15, version 4.0.3* Why is this no longer working? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t load *2024-12-13* We’ve tried opening the app multiple times but it doesn’t get past the white Osmo screen. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-11-13, version 4.0.3* Just get an osmo splash screen ### 1/5 — No longer works *2024-10-26* My kids enjoyed this app until it stopped loading one day. It loads to the osmo screen, lets me select the base, then freezes on a white screen that says osmo. We’ve tried everything, deleting and redownloading and freeing up more space and nothing will get it to load. This is severely disappointing as I paid for this for my kids to be able to play. I’ll be reaching out for a refund. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2024-10-18, version 4.0.3* My autistic son loved this game and now it just won’t load. So upsetting. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It no longer works *2025-01-15* I played this when I was little but the game no longer works on anything pls fix this ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-01-27, version 4.0.3* The game is awesome. Nice price. Love the energy and risk scenarios it provides. ### 5/5 — Hehe *2022-06-25, version 1.3.4* Nice ### 5/5 — Get it *2021-05-15, version 1.1.2* Very fun ### 4/5 — I love it but *2025-01-14* I played this game a few years back on my moms iPad and it worked perfectly but when I tried to get it on mine it just stays on the osmo starting screen and I’m still trying to fix it but its not working properly osmo team please fix this because I’ve spent so much on this already bye ### 4/5 — Great *2024-07-09, version 4.0.3* It’s an awesome game, I love how it’s multiplayer. ### 3/5 — Good game when it works *2022-04-05* My 5 year old likes playing this game with me. It’s good for teaching math, strategy and teamwork. The only cons are that 1. It randomly crashes in the middle of games. It’s incredibly frustrating when that happens especially because it happens regularly. 2 The blue/green wasps ALWAYS land on your spot despite them having a “chance” spinner. Is the spinner just there because they move even when they can’t land on a bee? I’d prefer that to be random each time because getting attacked by 3 wasps in 1 turn is annoying and boring. ### 3/5 — Waste *2021-12-11, version 1.2.2* Bought the kit for $60 and go to play this game and had to pay an additional $35 for the 1 game. What was the $60 for the for if you have pay more to play the games that are supposed to be in the kit ### 3/5 — Resets and Crashes unexpectedly *2021-02-28* Recently all our data disappeared and we lost all our progress across all profiles and now the game crashes unexpectedly when playing with 3 players. ### 3/5 — Please tell me how to cancel free trial. *2021-01-22* I have not been able to cancel free 3 day trial. This is not engaging for my young children. **Developer response:** Hello! Our trials will give you 3 day to try our app, but will NOT automatically charge you at the end.
