Osmo Parent 4+

It was super challenging to get started. Even my tech husband struggled to get everything installed, navigating the parental controls on our kids’ tablets. However, once we got it all worked out, oh my goodness! These games are incredible and so very educational. Both kids love how interactive these games are and are always playing (learning) with a giant smile plastered across their faces. As long as your prepared to test your patience and tech savviness, these are well worth it! Great addition to our homeschool learning.

This app while proficient at describing basics of the child’s process, is basically a waste. If the company truly wanted to make it adaptable to parents. They would include support so the parent could discuss issues, critique and recommendations. There is nothing through this app or any of the games for requesting this type of help. Have all of the games and apps for the Osmo World. Spending considerable amounts, hoping to encourage growth in learning of our grandchildren. One of the main complaints on every platform is the lack of concise information on how to play and use the individual apps. What’s wrong with a doc section with details of play. Most assume it’s intuitive. If an adult can’t understand the care and use of these apps and learning methods how can you expect child of five to do it. On one of the most recent $4.99... Numbers Toybox; the apps pace is slow, with again no support for how. The app crashed in as much that it would stall and at times repeat the same segment of the game before moving on. (E.g) recipe game... how would know to leave tile on board until the timer ended.., or to remove the tile after so it would not re-add it.

Our child is 6 and until today, has been reluctant to attempt to engage with numbers counting and letters. As an educator with a learning behavior specialist endorsement and 10 years in the classroom I can say THIS is a game changer and life changer! Tears literal tears of joy as I heard our child say Wow! I’m smart! I did it! See Mom! Look 1 dot and another dot makes 2 dots! I get it now!
Imagine that, 3 years of frustration and self doubt transformed. It’s open ended, not overwhelming with extra sensory overload and somehow able to engage even the most reluctant of learners. Our son has an average of three minutes attention span, he spent 47 minutes actively engaged and proactively solving puzzles, using his own methods of problem solving and was able to achieve self confidence in his abilities! Imagine what this can do for neurotypical thinkers as well! This is by far and away the most amazing learning experience I’ve ever seen! THANK YOU OSMO!!!!!!
