(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. ### 3/5 — Title changed to “education” *2021-07-29* So the title changed and another numbers app is in the store but no explanations here or on the website of what’s going on. Typical Osmo to keep us guessing… ### 3/5 — No end effects ☹️ *2021-04-22* I won, but it would be really cool if I actually got the chest 🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁 ### 2/5 — Gets boring and repetitive *2020-11-18* I love the idea of osmo but so far find all the games very repetitive and my kids gets bored after a few levels. I had high hopes but I’m afraid to invest more money. The new dragon math ones look fun but not for the price, especially if repetitive. For claiming to be creative learning they really did not do a good job at varying the types of play within each game. ### 4/5 — Loading *2020-09-30* It’s a good game. Except it is very slooooooow ### 2/5 — OK game *2020-08-07, version 1.9.11* My son said he didn’t like it but my his sister likes ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-08-05* My son loves this game. He’s in kindergarten and we’ve been practicing the number line with this game. It’s very motivating for him. ### 5/5 — Awesome 😁 *2020-06-30, version 1.9.11* I love this game and it is so fun ### 2/5 — Useing Numbers but is random numbers part 2 *2020-06-05* I downloaded i was happy with it when I tried the first level I used One of the numbers and another One then it starts go for a 8 to 0 then repeats sorry but I give it a 2 out of 5 (Part 2) So we see again in Two years the other problem is fixed but when I put the numbers on it doesn’t show anything... **Developer response:** Hi, I'm sorry that the Numbers game was not engaging. Have you seen the getting started manual for it? https://assets.playosmo.com/static/downloads/GettingStartedWithOsmoNumbers.pdf If that doesn't help, feel free to contact support@playosmo.com with any questions. ### 5/5 — 한국어도 추가해주세요 *2020-05-07* 한국어도 추가해주세요 ### 2/5 — Infuriating bugs *2020-04-27* The level of accuracy of the camera picking up the numbers is terrible and means that you cannot leave kids unattended with the app...kind of defeats the purpose **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know, and we're sorry to hear that you're experiencing detection issues in the Osmo Numbers app. Our support team will be more than happy to help you troubleshoot this issue.

Osmo Customer Experience Team ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-04-05, version 1.9.7* Amazing ### 5/5 — Kids love Osmo *2020-03-27* Very interactive and fun for the whole family ### 4/5 — Good *2020-03-22* Very good ### 3/5 — Please fix the Osmo apps *2020-03-19* My kid loves the games and I think it’s a nice way to get them to practice. However, the numbers app either freezes in place or starts showing the number of tiles rapidly (1,5,6), but not the actual number 12 and then becomes unresponsive. This causes my child to get annoyed and quit playing. Overall been experiencing issues across all apps. We have the numbers, words, Tangram, drawing and coding. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Out of the 7 apps I have none of them will load… *2021-08-21* 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. ### 1/5 — Ffhjkkoooiuhhh *2021-04-25, version 1.10.4* Fghjjjjiiiiijhhhn Hhhjjjjjj ### 1/5 — Impossible to cancel *2021-02-27, version 1.10.4* Cancel the freaking trial. There is NO way to cancel the freaking trial. Don’t ever try their apps that asks for free trials. ### 1/5 — None of the Osmo apps work. Google it. *2020-10-25* Seems some major issue has caused none of the apps to for over a month now. Don’t waste your money **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that you're having trouble with some of the Osmo apps!

Osmo Customer Experience Team ### 1/5 — Great game but profile and progress does not save *2020-10-10* My son absolutely loves this game. However, not sure when it began, but high scores and progress are no longer saving. Closing of the game results in the loss of unlocked levels and fishes. Tried reinstalling game, logging out and nothing has helped. **Developer response:** Thanks for reaching out and bringing this to our attention!

It appears we are suppose to be putting in addends but for same reason the game is doubling the numbers. There are multiple bubbles lit up so we aren’t sure if you are suppose to add those up or tackle them one by one. This was the first game we downloaded and my daughter was so frustrated she wanted to return the whole game. How sad. I highly suggest the developers put their thinking caps back on for this one. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear that Osmo Numbers was confusing to play. Did you know that there is an in-app manual to help you get acquainted with Numbers? It can be accessed via the Settings menu, under *Manual*. This guide introduces all the game play and game mechanics. We also have Numbers game instructions in a PDF document here: http://assets.playosmo.com/static/downloads/GettingStartedWithOsmoNumbers.pdf If you have additional questions about how to play Osmo Numbers, our support team will be more than happy to assist you.

Osmo Customer Experience Team ### 1/5 — Osmo numbers *2019-12-23, version 1.9.6* Any one believe in written directions as to how this game works? Spelling and shapes seem to be self evident but this game is worthless. ### 1/5 — Worst app *2019-06-17* The multiplication portion of the game doesn’t work properly. The app displays prime numbers that don’t factor between 1 and 9. This is frustrating since I thought it would help with her multiplication tables obviously that is not the case **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the Multiply mode in Osmo Numbers. While the Osmo Numbers game does help to provide practice with multiplying small numbers (1 through 9), it does not directly teach multiplication tables. Players can practice multiplying numbers in both the "Connect" mode and the "Multiply" mode. Additionally, the difficulty of the math increases as you progress through the levels in each mode.

Osmo Customer Experience Team ### 1/5 — Need a more simple starting point *2019-01-29* Perhaps matching numbers to what is showing on the screen for younger kids. Current games are confusing. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear that Osmo Numbers was confusing to play. Did you know that there is an in-app guide that shows how to play the game? These game instructions can be found by tapping on the settings (gear) icon in the top left corner of the screen while in the Main Menu.

Osmo Customer Experience Team ### 1/5 — Doesn't recognize tiles properly *2017-10-01* Good idea, just a terrible app. The app gets the numbers wrong all the time so it's hard to teach my child that 1+1=2 if the app keeps saying its 3.... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 *2026-01-23* SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUUUUUUUUNNNNNN! GET THIS APP 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 *2022-05-03, version 2.1.3* We love too play this game so we can get smarter so we play it.And I love animals.🐶🐱🐭🐹🐰🦊🐻🐼🐻‍❄️🐨🐯🦁🐮🐷🐸🐵🐔🐧🐦🐤🐣🦆🦅🦉🦇🐺🐗🐴🦄🐝🪱🐛🦋🐌🐞🐜🪰🪲🪳🦟🦗🕷🦂🐢🐍🦎🐙🦑🦐🦞🦀🐡🐠🐟🐬🐳🐋🦈🦭🐊🐅🐆🦓🦍🦧🦣🐘🦛🦏🐪🐫🦒🦘🦬🐃🐂🦒🦘🦬🐃🐂🐄🐎🐖🐏🐑🦙🐐🦌🐕🐩🦮🐕‍🦺🐈🐈‍⬛🐓🦃🦤🦚🦜🦢🦩🕊🐇🦝🦨🦡🦫🦦🦥🐁🐀🐿🦔❣️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — I wish I can Put six** *2022-03-02* Amazing again amazing amazing amazing ### 5/5 — 👍 *2021-12-13, version 2.0.1* 👋👍 ### 5/5 — Sad *2021-08-04* Sad that the new version a has different background. … ### 5/5 — Good app 👍👍👍 *2020-09-10* I love this app.when I’m bored I play it and it’s so fun👏 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
