### 3/5 — Does not work with IPad 11” M4

*2026-03-31, version 2.7.1*

I was disappointed that the apps were not updated to work with the iPad 11” M4

### 1/5 — Super slow to open

*2025-05-26, version 2.7.1*

I have more the 25 minutes and I still waiting for open the app

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2025-05-25, version 2.7.1*

I can’t use the app anymore. There is no password reset, only an “account confirmation code” that never gets sent. I liked this app but haven’t been able to use it at all.

### 3/5 — Good app but some broken links

*2025-04-29, version 2.7.1*

I’m using the app as a teacher with a Little Genius kit from my school. The app is fine in terms of tracking kids and their growth, and what they are up to, and has a good UX. But while using my own iPad Mini 6, it says the reflector is not compatible, but then the offer to send a free compatible reflector with adjustable mirror is a broken link. Similarly, all support and help links through the app and website from my desktop are unavailable pages or broken links. There is nowhere to find a contact email to address this issue, but if the developers can see to this I will change to 5 stars.

### 1/5 — So hard to set up

*2025-01-05, version 2.7.1*

This app is such a disappointment and isn’t working on the fire tablet that it should work on, super disappointed in it as my kids were excited to use it

### 1/5 — Unhelpful

*2025-01-01, version 2.7.1*

Save yourself time and energy and troubleshoot yourself because this app does not include helpful information

### 1/5 — Bankrupt Company Apps don’t work

*2024-12-31, version 2.7.1*

I purchased the OSMO system for my child and the apps keep crashing. It’s a complete waste of money now that the company filed bankruptcy. Do NOT waste your time or money on this product!

### 1/5 — Does t work

*2024-12-28, version 2.7.1*

Verification code is not working after multiple tries. Now app shut down. Will be returning as it is not usable and there is no contact support option available

### 1/5 — Genius Starter Kit

*2024-12-24, version 2.7.1*

Tried using my Little Genius Starter Kit, made my account and scanned the QR code but didn’t receive the 6 games as shown. Tried starting over from the QR code and it looks like I am now IP banned for too many requests.

### 1/5 — Not working anymore

*2024-12-03, version 2.7.1*

Can’t log in and access our kids account

### 3/5 — What happened?

*2024-12-02, version 2.7.1*

I’ve been an Osmo user for my kids for years and now my login isn’t working? Kids’ profile can’t be accessed? Can’t login into my parent app account.

### 1/5 — Trying to explain to a 3 year old why nothing works was not part of my holiday plans

*2024-11-30, version 2.7.1*

Really excited about this and planning to collect a bunch of expansions, but when we pulled it back out this weekend you cannot log in, the website does not work, and that makes me very nervous for the future of this gaming set.

### 1/5 — loved it for years

*2024-11-28, version 2.7.1*

I’ve had the software for many years. I wanna say at least three and I’ve purchased more over the years as my son is growing then recently out of nowhere it stopped working. I can’t get it to work anywhere. It’s telling me my email doesn’t work, but I’m unable to create a new email account… I spent so much money throughout the years. I’m disappointed that this isn’t working. I’m looking for where I can submit a request or talk to somebody, but there is none of that information anywhere I keep getting error messages and other websites pertaining to them.

### 1/5 — Cannot connect tu my account anymore

*2024-11-26, version 2.7.1*

Great game but cannot connect to my account since i updated the app :(

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-11-26, version 2.7.1*

Can’t play any of the games. Nothing works.

### 1/5 — Nothing is Working!!

*2024-11-24, version 2.7.1*

Nothing loads in this app. Something needs to be fixed immediately with their apps and their website to allow users to login in and track progress. This is so frustrating!

### 1/5 — Lagging and grey screen

*2024-11-24, version 2.7.1*

My daughter wants to play the app but the app lags, doesn’t register her work on the white pad correctly, and lately the app doesn’t open it’s just a grey screen.

### 1/5 — Impossible to get help

*2025-12-31, version 2.7.1*

Their support is impossible to reach. So product is unusable for us and will be returned. Disappointed and frustrated.

### 1/5 — Not compatible with 11th Gen iPads

*2025-12-27, version 2.7.1*

Website states their products work with all iPads except 10th gen, and 1-4 gen. Every app states it’s not compatible with my device which is an 11th gen.

### 1/5 — Unable to register / use

*2025-10-23, version 2.7.1*

Since purchasing these devices I cannot register and the support contact is bounced back.  I’m concerned this was a waste of money

### 1/5 — Terrible Technology

*2025-06-08, version 2.7.1*

The tech platform is awful.  The worst new user experience I have ever seen.  Setting up and logging in takes countless times.  Email code verifications take 4/5 hours to receive.  The app is clunky.  Much better options out there than this.

Just started using it but seems easy to use and a good overview.

### 5/5 — They don’t even know they’re learning

*2023-08-11, version 2.7.1*

This game is one of those rarities that kids just love it and they don’t even know they’re learning things. It seems a little pricey at first but once you realise each kit actually support 2-3 different games it’s pretty good value and even more learning!!! Keep the good stuff coming Osmo!

### 5/5 — Creative pack

*2023-07-14, version 2.7.1*

My 7 year old enjoys it very much
