### 5/5 — 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

*2026-01-23*

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUUUUUUUUNNNNNN!
GET THIS APP NOW!

### 4/5 — Could Switch Back to Older Design. (The from 2016 to 2019)

*2025-10-15*

This new version is nice, but for me, I would think that the older versions were better. (I mean the older design.) It was just more simple, had more features that you wouldn’t have on this one, like the iconic KEY to unlock next levels, the ACHIEVEMENTS, and many more. (I’m talking about the one you see when you look at this app on the AppStore, the one that went down from Count to Multiply, NOT across like it does now.

### 5/5 — Mio Mao 🇦🇺🇮🇹

*2024-09-24*

That’s really rocks my socks off and it’s perfect for my 12-year-old baby girl named Miao. She loves it so much and I love her so much too and she makes me feel so much better about it too and I can’t stop thinking about it every day because I love her and she loves me back so much and I’m always happy 😃 and so proud 🥹 to have such an amazing daughter 👧 as well as her baby sister, Dolly. I just had her born so I had to get that for her. She is so cute

### 5/5 — This game is great

*2023-06-18*

It teaches young ones how to do math. It is very smooth and such a good game.

### 5/5 — Very nice game to learn numbers, but you need some materials to play it.

*2023-02-04*

This game is very nice for children to learn all about numbers and there are a few more Osmo apps with numbers. From many different stores, you can order Osmo games usually used for Osmo apps and for THIS, you need those number tiles with simple ones 0-9 and dots 1-2&5. You also need the accessories for the iPad when you play it. Put the numbers they  ask you on a piece of A4 paper so it's easier to play. You also learn additions.

### 5/5 — Good brand an game just…

*2022-12-31*

Don’t get me wrong I LOVE Osmo it’s a gray way for kids to learn. But my 10 year old just got one of the new iPads and it won’t connect to Osmo. I went on there website to see what kind of iPads it works for and it doesn’t work on hers! So I love this game but I don’t recommend using if you have an Ipad generation better newer than the 10th generation. Thank you!

### 5/5 — We love it

Fix your apps. 

All of them go from the camera and then to the sound icon just fine… then it gets the the never ending loading screen. 

Every app the exact same thing.
