Now it is “loading” and never works. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t load *2021-07-27* Stuck on loading screen. ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-07-15* My daughter enjoyed this game, but now the game just says “loading...” repeatedly. Recently, when this happened, it worked after restarting the ipad. That strategy isn’t working this time. Why did I pay extra to get a game that doesn’t work? Please fix. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2021-07-04* Up until a few weeks ago this app worked perfectly, then it updated. Osmo is defined not a cheap device, I expect the app to be fully functional. I’m definitely not happy! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t load past the loading screen *2021-07-02, version 1.2.0* This app is one big glitch. When opened it shows a loading screen but doesn’t progress past that. When I touch parts of the screen, the game seems to start but still shows the loading screen. We paid money for this. ### 1/5 — Incredibly buggy *2021-03-06* I used to like this but it is just too painful and too easily freezes up. Support has been useless in troubleshooting. It’s like they want me to fix their app even though the bugs are so easy to reproduce. Worthless app as the bugs outweigh any learning that might exist. 😔 ### 1/5 — Horrible *2021-01-19, version 1.1.1* Pursuing money back - this game is slow and rarely works ### 1/5 — Not worth the money *2020-12-27* We already have the mat and shapes required for this with the Little Genius starter kit - so to charge $25 for an app seems ludicrous. ### 1/5 — Piece of garbage *2020-12-26* Just stays there processing. Can’t even buy it, app is so bad won’t even let me give them money. In fact why doesn’t it have the option to try it out without my credit card info just so my kid can see it, it’s rip off¡ ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-10-31* This is not worth the money I paid for it. It presents itself as a beta production, not worth prime time . ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2020-10-01* The app doesn't work. The game opens then freezes as soon as my son starts to play. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hate it *2024-07-30* It keeps crashing when I log in fix it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — App crashes *2023-05-16, version 4.0.0* This doesn’t work. Needs a fix! ### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work *2023-01-15, version 4.0.0* It Doesn’t work. I am super disappointed with this ### 1/5 — Never works *2023-01-13* Freezes when loading and then shuts down the app. It’s never once actually let us play the game ### 1/5 — Not working at all *2023-01-06, version 4.0.0* This game won’t recognize anything we do past the first shape. Very disappointing as this was a Christmas gift. ### 1/5 — Never works *2022-08-07* What a waste of money. So far almost all of the Osmo games have been awful because they never work. ### 1/5 — Broken. *2022-03-25* Often sticks with no option for input. Pitiful. Please fix this. It’s what’s we need for our 3 yr old! Other apps work… this one doesn’t. ### 1/5 — Fix this game please *2022-02-17* 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. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2021-10-25* App doesn’t load. Stays in loading screen. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 2/5 — Good…when it works *2021-10-25* My daughter loves this games. When it works. Which is very rare. Often we’re stuck on the loading screen. FIX IT. ### 2/5 — About this *2021-10-02, version 1.2.0* I am quite mad that I bought the set and it did not come with a board or even the people characters ### 2/5 — Osmo Shape Builder *2020-11-27, version 1.1.0* Trying the free trial and my 4 year old finds it enjoyable but is quickly frustrated as there seems to be a communication error between the work she does on the mat and the game recognizing it. It doesn’t acknowledge that she’s built it. Tried closing and reopening but still happens. Will update after my other children try and at the end of the 3 day trial as to whether or not I would recommend and/or purchase. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
