Not Well Thought Out
02/10/2021

Hummingbird95928
There is almost no time at all given to the child to allow them to figure out the letter before the letter is then forcibly given to them. My 6 year old becomes extremely frustrated by the fact that the program is not allowing him to figure it out before placing the letter in front of him. I don’t understand why there isn’t a slide setting for a slower or faster setting (or no timer), depending on child’s level, because even that would be helpful... but as is, it’s more damaging than helpful. With the fish math game there is always a lot of time allowed to the child, but with this one, it’s just very intense for a child who is just trying to learn and who is then constantly being interrupted by having the letter being thrown at them, instead of allowing them time to figure it out. It’s defeating and my son now would rather do anything else than play that “game”.

App leaving randomly when not supposed to.

When I was just about to enter a match battle when the game randomly made me leave the app. it was so annoying that I had to switch to Osmo words(not classic) instead of word battling Awbie in Osmo words classic. That’s why I rated 3/5. I know Awbie is fun and silly strawberry throwing yeti but I don’t like it when I randomly leave when I’m about to word battle. Tip: and can you make it harder in Osmo words (not classic)?

Poorly thought out game

Rather than picking words that are aligned to the age group selected, like short easy words for 4 year olds, it uses words too big for them to learn to spell but makes it easy by only requiring them to guess just the first letter. Lazy on the developers part. Worst of all, no way to turn off the clues that the character gives. Doesn't allow my kid to try to figure out the letter. While he's thinking, it'll just tell him what the letter is. If he makes one wrong guess, it'll just tell him what the letter is. GIVE THE KID A LITTLE TIME TO TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT!

Hello,Thank you for your feedback. 1. Junior Mode - if you're in Junior mode, tap on the settings button ('II') in the top left hand corner. Once here you will see the words 'Home, Restart, and Achievements.' Underneath these words is the option to turn on or off the 'hints' and 'speech.' 2. Play Mode (after selecting versus or Zen) - to increase the difficulty, tap on the settings button ('II') in the top left hand corner. Once here you will see the words 'Home, Restart, Achievements, and Albums.' Underneath these words is the option to turn on or off the 'hints' and 'speech.' There is also a difficulty meter where players can select the levels Easy, Medium, Hard, and Impossible. The Impossible level is an adult favorite!Please note that some downloadable Words albums that are created by the general public may not have these options associated with them.

App Issue, Please Help

When playing Osmo Tangram the app continuously directs us to move our pieces to within the boundary. When we move them the app does not self correct, but stays frozen on the screen. We have not had this issue in the past. Please help. Thank you
