Kinda liked it

I like it a little bit, but what if you lose? Remember, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Be a winner, not a loser.

Very helpful game for 9 year olds but there’s a bug

This game is amazing and awesome but theres a bug:the game sees the lightness of the lines very light but it’s ok because for my 9 year old does not mind.

I missed this game so much😭

It was so satisfying to watch all of the energy balls build up and then fall onto the energy generator. I loved this game so much that after I had stopped using Osmo for a long time and I found the squiggle pieces, I opened up the Osmo app and saw how fun the Newton game was. I know that many people have had concerns with the game crashing, but there was nothing to worry about with the game, and it was just so satisfying to watch. I hope Osmo will still be around to keep this game.

You need an older operating system to ensure apps work

There are multiple articles surrounding the issues encountered. I have made mine work on a very old iPad which hasn’t been updated. You need the prompt to pop up, allowing access to camera. The newest operating system changes this and makes the apps stop working
