My Favorite project

I was doing the volcanos and building it was fun.

Wont use back camera

App defaults to front camera which is useless trying to headset

Good app

You need to read the instructions to actually make it work (I.e. need to look at the poster that comes with the headset to make it work), but the app does work and it’s really cool. My kiddo loves it.

Disappointed 7yr old

A very disappointed 7 year old. The app does not work at all. Shows split camera screen only.

Won’t load game

My son has only been able to play this game once now it just splits the camera in 2 screens. None of the troubleshooting online that I’ve found has worked.

won't download

Came with dinorsaur kit for kid's birthday and will not download.

Mr Fish

The kids loved it. Engaged for hours. Activation code came through instantly, not sure what that negative 1 star comment was on about.

From guuu

It is so bad because it dose work

Garbage ripoff junk

My son was very excited to try this out. Unfortunately it simply will not send the verification email. Support is non existent. If you bought this toy I recommend just taking it back to the store. Ripoff junk.

Verification email not received

We’ve been waiting all day for the verification email to be able to create the account. Still waiting and very disappointed.

Junk

Headset is serviceable but nothing special. All the apps that this company makes appear to be abandoned. No confirmation emails, no response whatsoever on any of their companion apps. Stay away from Abacus products.

Don’t waste your time

I can’t seem to create an account. The confirmation email never comes in, and I’ve tried three different email address. The page to put in the activation code does not work at all. There’s no where to put the code. How can this company be proud of this app, if it doesn’t work for anyone.

Does not do anything

Everything verified ok but once in the only action is a split screen. There are no options in the app, once in VR the only thing I can do is hard shut the app

Garbage

My son was super excited to get this for Christmas, but he has been devastated by its uselessness. Like many people, we have had trouble with the app - no confirmation email, screen goes blank, spinning wheel of death, etc. We sent a customer inquiry on December 27th and didn’t receive a response until January 13th. All that they said was, “Was this ever resolved?” We responded “No” and haven’t heard from them since. To top it off, the person who emailed us had a signature with the name Greg Wilson, Business Manager, and provided a phone number. I called the number and reached the voicemail for a guy named Steve. Nothing about Abacus. Just a guy named Steve. Regardless, I left a message and sent a text because, according to Steve, he would get back to us more quickly if we texted. No response. I sent an email to Greg, filled out a second inquiry, found their page on Facebook and sent a message and posted on their wall. I also looked them up on LinkedIn and, according to their page, Abacus is a company with 2 - 10 employees. I have not received a response. At this point, I think I am going to contact Barnes & Noble to let them know they are carrying a product from a company who refuses to help their customers resolve this issue. It is a subtle form of thievery.

App Does Not Work

I have tried to download the app on an Android and Apple device…the app simply will not load. No registration email is sent, which is part of the process to download the app. Without the app, there is no VR experience. Highly disappointed. Will return.

Great for kids!

I purchased this for my 7 year-old & we didn’t have any issues downloading or viewing the content on the various volcano’s. Video quality is great as well.

Does not consistently work

Received as a gift for my son.
Upon putting in the code & completing verification through my email, it’s only worked once with the vr headset.
Every time we launch the app, it just splits the screen on camera, no video ever plays to view.
Very disappointing. Definitely would NOT recommend this product.

Complete waste….

Won’t download I gave up after ten tries I got a little farther each time but after an entire day of trying I took stock in my time and realize I was wasting it. There’s a reason it has 2.3 stars…. Because it should have less

Do not buy this

Crappy product. Asks you to verify email. Then never sends the email. Had to use another phone to “skip” the sign in process. Then you need to use half the ink in your printer to print out a “sample page” before you can use the main one in the kit (sucks for people who don’t own printers). Do all that. Get it ready for my 5 year old, scan the main page only to be asked for an activation code with a link that doesn’t work. Every time you click on the activation code it just brings you back to the page where you need to print the sample page again. Very poor. I hope Walmart will give me my money back for this waste of time. My 5 year old is very upset this Christmas because nothing is working.

No confirmation email / useless gift / app developed in 2002

4 different emails & Hours later and there is still no confirmation email being sent to us to activate the game itself. So basically it’s been a useless Christmas present so far while I watch my nephews excitement for this wane increasingly.
