Fire 10HD can't read shapes

First, there are almost no setup instructions. Second, the Shapes app doesn't read shapes from the board. You have a chance with a 3-5 year old and if the app/hardware fails the first time there is no second time. It's also a bit ridiculous that games/activities are separate apps and not one immersive app. This is poor planning and execution on the part of Osmo. Looks like this will be Revain's return.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Fits

Stops working after a month

Lasted less than a month. My daughter used it occasionally. He started not working last week. OSMO apps freeze on launch, games won't launch. I contacted their support team and their excuse was that they are a small business and cannot help over the phone. Although I could fill out a suggestion form for their developers. They obviously don't care, they will return. Thankfully, Revane did everything right and was allowed to return!

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • boring packaging

IF YOU HAVE A KINDLE YOU NEED A SEPARATE ADAPTER WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED

is a nightmare when you have a Kindle Fire tablet. First, apps are so hard to find on the App Store and some are not available or even show up in search. When I set it up I first thought the screen adapter wasn't working as the screen was cracked and found that the Kindle requires a completely different screen adapter which is $10 on the website. WHEN YOU SAY IT IS COMPATIBLE THE TABLET SCREEN ADAPTER MUST BE SUPPLIED! For the price paid, I don't have to pay the extra $10 plus shipping when…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • A dodgy purchase for the elderly

This company spends a lot on marketing but not enough on quality control. The ABCs app is the only one that actually runs on our Kindle. The other three only have a loading screen at launch that never transitions into the actual game. Also the ABCs game that is loading is obviously not a finished product as it has the text 'development' in the lower right corner and freezes if you play for more than ten minutes. I really wanted this to work with my son who has been spending so much time playing

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Almost OK

Not compatible with Fire 7 (9th gen)

The product is not compatible with my Fire 7 (9th gen). We spent several hours getting it working. We have everything installed and ready to go until we put the reflector on it. I didn't register that we had it turned on, went back to all the settings and gave permission to use the camera. It's decided. The next problem was that he kept talking to us about expanding the base. I've done this several times with an extended base and even with a non-extended base. The base didn't realize it had…

Pros
  • Hands-free calling
Cons
  • There are problems

Worthwhile but not perfect

Funny and engaging. My toddler loves games, especially stories and costumes. He keeps him entertained long enough for me to do a few conference calls. He doesn't play very often - maybe an hour or two a week. He's already completed all the stories in the game and finished the numbers game - I mean, I was expecting the content to be something more. expansive. Some of the problem-solving components are also a bit strange. In one story, a kid figured out how to remove cobwebs from a chair. We…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Empty

Great concept but not worth it yet - too many problems

Updated: DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU HAVE A FIRE TABLET. After burning upgrades, very few games work and even more game bugs. At the moment I can only play 1 game. It is not worth. I was really looking forward to this for my 3 year old. We don't have a lot of screen activities for her and I, although it would be a great mix of exercise and screen activities. First, the base is large, making it impractical and difficult to store. There is only 1 good case but they are all huge. The iPad looks a lot…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • So-so

the only way to get support from them and it's SLOW) I returned the OSMO I bought and I got a response from OSMO regarding the Revain Fire HD 8 , 10 received tablet of generation (2020) ). This information should be included in the product listing or on the product packaging - we hope some other users will find this information helpful when they are having Revain Fire Tablet compatibility issues =============== = = ===================From OSMO Support (support@playosmo.com): Requires the Osmo…

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Useless features
