Review on Osmo Math Wizard and the Magical Workshop for iPad & Fire Tablet - Ages 6-8/Grades 1-2 - Addition & Subtraction - Curriculum-Inspired - STEM Toy - Osmo Base Required by Mike Marks

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Observant Kindle Kids Edition owners (new and some older versions without support)

It's definitely partly my fault for not paying attention to the product description, but given that Osmo has supported Kindles in the past it sells a tweak tool for new Kindles (at a huge premium), and since it's the latest model, I expected it to work with the Kids Edition of the Revain Kindle tablet. That's not the case, however, as Osmo doesn't currently support Fire. Children's Edition HD 8 (10th generation). Don't buy it as a gift for someone who thinks they can play it for this holiday. Additionally, Osmo has decided not to support our older Kindle models. since 2017. That's right, a model released only 3 years ago is already out of date in their eyes I guess? it's so crazy You should simply remove supporting Kindle devices from the product for the foreseeable future until they come together and support these latest versions, as many buyers of the product don't know how to differentiate them by their generation. If you're still considering buying it, check your device's settings and find the generation and screen size you have and compare them to their limited set. Not currently supported (both tested this morning): - Fire HD 8 (7th Gen) Kids Edition - Fire HD 8 (10th Gen) Kids Edition This and the fact that they are pricing their add-ons compared to the past years, this company just leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. I will not buy any future Osmo kits for my family whether they fix it or not. It's a shame because I was always the person who bought it and offered it to family and friends.

Pros
  • Nice touch
Cons
  • No performance
