Review on Osmo Measurement Estimating Curriculum Inspired Required by Miriam Davis

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Careful Kids Edition Kindle owners (new and some old versions without support)

It's definitely partly my fault here for not being careful with the product description but given Osmo has historically supported kindle, is selling an adjustment tool for the new kindles (at a huge up-charge), and because well they are the latest model I expected it to work with the Kids Edition of the Revain kindle tablet.This is not the case, however, as Osmo does not currently support the Fire HD 8 (10th generation) Kids Edition. Do not buy as a gift for someone thinking you will be able to play it for this holiday. I addition to that Osmo decided to not support our older Kindle models. from 2017. That's right the model from only 3 years ago is already obsolete in their eyes I guess?It's so crazy. they should just remove the support Kindle devices from the product for the foreseeable future until they get their act together and support these recent versions as many people buying the product won't know how to differentiate them by their generation. If you still plan on buying it though make sure you check your device options setting and find the generation and screen size you have and compare to their limited set.Not currently supported (tested both this morning):- Fire HD 8 (7th generation) Kids Edition- Fire HD 8 (10th generation) Kids EditionThis and the fact they raised the prices on their add-ons significantly compared to years ago just leave a bad taste in my mouth with this company. I won't be buying any future Osmo sets for my family regardless if they fix it. It's a shame because I have always been the person purchasing and suggesting it for family and friends.
