*2026-05-20, version 4.0.8*

I hate it. You really need real life objects just to play the game come on, bruh 😔😭😤👁️👄👁️

### 5/5 — Loads of fun! Just some bugs though.

*2026-05-08*

ever since quarantine of 2020 which is when I bought this thing, I really had so much fun with this, younger me couldn't resist playing with this toy throughout the COVID-19 quarantine and I still play this game today whenever I'm bored. I like to mess around with the magic shows and adventures and it's always very funny. However, there is one bug in this game. If Mo requests for an apple, it says "#！#PropDef_Apple#！#" instead of just Apple. Also sometimes when he dances with something in the adventure there's no music. And I'm mostly getting the one where he eats the souvenirs and gets chased by an arrow

### 5/5 — I LOVE IT!

*2026-04-19*

It’s the best game I have ever played in the world

### 1/5 — Dummy’s

*2026-01-23, version 4.0.3*

### 5/5 — Osmo monster

*2025-12-07*

“Disclaimer, this is about the good and bad of osmo monster-and may not be up to date”



this game has bugs, and it appears that you refuse to fix it. mind you, people paid for this game, and you should help them have there very best experience. Otherwise this game is exceptionally fun! You can draw your own things, play with family or friends, and get creative. But you can’t really do that anymore because whatever you draw is just always a pink blob, so I recommend you fix this please.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-11-30, version 4.0.3*

### 2/5 — New iPad access

*2025-09-24, version 4.0.3*

What is the fix to use OSMO apps with a newer iPad? I use this app with many of my students and now I can’t access the apps. Please help!

### 5/5 — UPDATE NEW OS Fixed issues. All fine now

*2025-09-19*

Prior to the recent update the option to allow camera on the apps was not present. It is now back and everything is working as anticipated
