Meh

Can you add instructions for Microsoft teams?

Update?

This is a really useful and free app - especially for use in the classroom setting. I would LOVE to know if there will soon be an update for the Apple iPad Pro 2020 devices. I just purchased my new iPad and can no longer use this app, it is very disappointing as I am now kind of reliant on it! Fingers crossed for an update soon.

Not compatible with my iPad

I am so disappointed- the one app I need does not work on my gen 8 iPad! Will there be an update to make this work???

Slow streaming

I use it to teach teach Math and I love it. The only downside is that its streaming is slow, there is a lag in what the students see.

Works Great!

Love this new feature of Osmo. I used it during distance learning and it was extremely helpful! Can’t wait to try it in the classroom.

iPhone Version needed!

I have the Osmo Base for the iPhone. So i need the Osmo Projector Version for the iPhone please! Also a Version for the iPad Pro 12.9 would be great too e.g. by selecting the perspective transformation.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback! Please note that, effective September 2019, Osmo stopped selling the iPhone base & reflector. Osmo games that existed up until that point are still playable on this platform, however, any new apps released after September 2019 are not usable on this device (including Osmo Projector). However, we are working to develop new hardware that will make the iPad Pro 12.9-inch compatible with the Osmo apps. While we don't currently have an ETA for when this hardware will be available, we hope to release it sometime next year. If you have additional questions in the meantime, our support team will be more than happy to assist you.

Works like a document camera

What a great idea! This is like having a document camera on m desk. And it is free, my kid already had the Osmo. Very helpful for online teaching.

Nice Try

I want to like this app because I see so much potential for using it. Unfortunately, when I tried to use it to show my student a worksheet that I wanted to write on, the worksheet was blurry. I hope the app will be updated to work a little better... maybe so the user can focus the camera? Thanks, Osmo, for trying to help us out quickly. Now please work on improving the app so it is actually useful for sharing documents with students.

Great idea... Doesn't work.

We are an OSMO family, have all the kits, and I have many in my classroom as well, so we love the brand. However, this app doesn't work as described. There isn't "screen" option when I click "share content".

Response from developer

Sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the Osmo Projector app! In some video conferencing softwares, the "share screen" option is only available on devices running iOS 11 or later. It's also possible that you may need to update the video conferencing app you are using to make this feature available.

Give them a break

The team at osmo created this app in less than a week. There’s going to be minor things that you might not like. But be patient. I’m sure they will add more as this quarantine progresses.

Microphone option not available

Great app. Was very excited to record lesson and went to view the video but there was no sound. I went to app details and microphone permission never appears. Went to microphone settings and projector app is not an option to give permission to. Any ideas?

Works well, could be more versatile

This worked well for me, but I wish we could download a video of it! Not all students can watch live and we are expected to share for later viewing.

I was so excited!

We've had such fantastic experiences with all prior Osmo products, so expected the same with projector. Sadly it will not link to Zoom no matter our efforts and attention to instructions. Hopefully the kinks will get worked out soon.

Hi, I'm sorry you're having problems with Projector! If you have an iPad Pro 10.5" we're aware of the problem and we're currently fixing it. We should have an updated app that works with that device in a few days. If you have a different device and it's not working, please contact support@playosmo.com so we can figure out what's wrong! Best, tamir

Love idea

I too get a kaleidoscope picture both when the mirror is on and off. Loved the idea but it’s not working. I can use the mirror in photos and videos though to make a tutorial.

Please fix

Thank you for this app. It will be greatly needed!! When I use this app it doesn’t come out with a clear picture it’s a choppy kaleidoscope. Osmo works with the monster app so it’s not the iPad.
