Osmo Costume Party 4+

This app is no longer working. It keeps asking to put the cam up. We did put the iPad on the base and put the mirror covering the device’s camera. We tried restarting the app and even the iPad. Nothing worked out anymore. So became trash.

I bought the character pieces to go with only 2 games to find out one of the 2 games does not work. I have a very upset 4 year old that was looking forward to playing and the only thing I could get the game to do was say, “Put your character board in front of your device”. It is not like Osmo is a new app that no longer is supported and I am picking up the pieces on the dollar rack, they are expensive sets that advertise certain games that you can play with the set you buy. I am very dissatisfied with the attention this app is getting from it’s developers. Looking at other reviews, after I had problem, I have realized this same issue has been going on for months and nothing has been done. If 0 starts was an option I wouldn’t have even given the app the star I did. Unfortunately by the time you read these reviews it is already too late and you have purchased the character set to find this disappointment.

This app used to at least open (even though it wouldn’t recognize the character and clothing pieces) but now when you open it all you get is a black screen. Really sad that reviews have been up for over a year and the developers don’t care to fix the problems that render this app useless. Osmo seems happy enough to sell the pieces for the game so why can’t they get the app in working order? I bought this for my classroom with Title 1 money. My students will use the pieces to play with but unfortunately the app is not an option at this time.
