### 2/5 — Does it even use the camera?

*2026-04-11*

Doesn’t really use the squiggle pieces, base and reflector, it’s really just an osmo app that doesn’t use osmo.

My daughter loved this when I could get it to work. Thankful for a free trail because I’d never pay 25 dollars for a game that doesn’t even work

### 1/5 — Stuck loading

*2021-11-01*

Have tried on two iPads.. 6th generation and 8th generation . Both running iOS 15.1.
Gets past initial white loading screen, prompts for putting on stand and mirror, and then goes to a blue screen where it says loading.
Have left it for 10+ minutes and it never loads.
