Genius Starter Kit for iPad

I am really impressed with the quality of this product, my 5 year old loves it. Not too interested in the word game at the moment, but loves the numbers and tangram. I purchased 'pizza co' and 'coding awbie' separately and he loves these too. All the osmo apps are free but you do need the osmo stand and reflector for the iPad or tablet (we use iPad). I did not buy the base for monster app, we found a white board or paper (but you have to keep using a new piece of paper with each drawing) did the job (sorry osmo) same with the newton app, we found the reflector could see lego pieces and used this info to make the game playable without purchasing all the pieces. I do highly recommend and am saving for the detective board for geography.. well done osmo. Nothing in this starter kit can't be done on the cheap, such as good old fashion pen and paper because of this it makes osmo a lot of money, but I think the next generation just learn more interactively with tech. I'm happy because I got a discount at Christmas, I also found with research that I could save some money by buying the genius starter kit and adding other games that need interactive board and pieces etc. you might find you can by the base and reflector and then just get the free apps, that way you can use pen and paper for e.g. And then decide if you want to pay up. Although they do grow with this product, at least over the next 10 years!

OK so I ordered this yesterday, it came delivered by Prime so arrived by 4pm today. What can I say? This is an incredible product and it’s well worth every penny. Now that schools are closed, I am having to work from home. This will provide a brilliant “virtual teacher” if you like by means of keeping my 5 year old occupied whilst I do my role. There is only so much “activity sheets” and toys a child can play with but when kids are obsessed with technology and this is so interactive. She is enjoying the maths game. We have got around not having the creative package by drawing on pieces of paper instead. 10/10. Especially with keeping our children’s brains working during this awful time.

A little on the expensive side for what it is but my son absolutely loves it. With him having autism the Osmo really helps him learn and communicate. Fast delivery although it wasn’t packed into an Amazon box. Just a label stuck to the original box.

Brought for my 8 year old. My 5 year old loves it too. Great for educational playing on the ipad. My son loves the drawing app. The quality of the tiles is fab too.

clever packaging - not sure the stand and reflector warrant the cost but it is highly enjoyed at home.

I like the fact that our 6 year old screen addict can have opportunities for learning while enjoying himself. I dislike the choice I had to make between Genius and Creative. I loved the Creative game in which the child's drawings are pulled up onto the screen by a friendly monster but it didn't seem worth buying the Creative package just for that so I chose Genius. There are some add-on programs but the only way to get the monster drawings is to buy the whole creative set. It would be better if it was more flexible.

I received it on a Saturday, which is very fast before the estimated delivery for next Tuesday. Thumps up for fast delivery. Quality product, although I found it a little difficult to open the storage boxes, had to apply a bit of pressure to open them. I found it very easy to use with my iPad mini 2. The reflector works brilliantly to detect the items. My 6 yr daughter loved it. I recommend it.

Osmo is the greatest gift idea I've ever bumped into for my daughter. We're loving it!

Amazing device for learning and entertainment!

Ottimo strumento di apprendimento. Purtroppo non rivolto ad una utenza italiana, in quanto è tutto strutturato in inglese. Anche la compatibilità a livello hardware è compatibile solo con iPad di ultima generazione. Peccato.

Osmo fue a bancarrota! No es posible jugar y guardar El Progreso en los juegos

ok

The classic word app does not work as it keeps crashing. When you go to “support” on their website it redirects to zendesk that indicates that the help center no longer exists.
