User reviews

Disappointment!

We cannot use the app because we cannot add books on the iPad 10th Gen (2025). For the cost of the product, this is disappointing!

Doesn’t detect books, useless app

Since the whole point of the reading adventure set was to interact with this app, which doesn’t detect any of the books no matter what we try, this app is pretty pointless. There doesn’t seem to even be a way to contact osmo to get a fix for this issue, and I see many similar reviews.

Does not detect book

Tried multiple times to troubleshoot. Even got a new reflector. Does not detect books. Finally came here to read reviews and looks like it’s an issue for others as well. Complete waste. Very sad child.

Not working

My son just got it for Christmas and we are trying to install it and it keep saying they the device is not compatible and we have the 14 pro max iPhone and the 14 so I don’t get why it keep giving us the same problem with all the phone in the house, I was so happy to be able to get this device for my son but now I regret it so much because my son can even use it.

Do not waste your money

The app no longer detects the books. For a set that you have to spend $50-60 to get, only to have the app not work is so pointless. OSMO is going bankrupt and I can see why. Completely terrible. There is no help available on their website either.
