1. It won't currently work with any tablet that wasn't made in 2018. Don't even try.
2. The app isn't where they say it is in the instruction book.
3. Customer service is only open till 5pm eastern time, so if you have a job you can't talk to anyone.
4. It is extremely disappointing that the specs said it woukd work on tablets with KitKat, but they decided to wait to release that app until later. That way kids have to sit and stare at their wands with nothing to yse them on.
4. My child wanted this badly, but we can't use it until a new tablet is delivered. Another $150 out. Our tablets are all less than a year and a half old.
Ok, I am updating my review. Customer service has been great in call back. Product still won't work with our Tab A, or my sons kindle fire we bought 2 weeks ago new (we also ended up buying a new 32 gb kindle fire 8 so kid could use this....got kinda $$ , but it works well in my older daughters windows 10 laptop). If I had to do it over, I probably wouldn't have bought this, or told my child about it until Kano had time to get the kinks out, so I didn't have an ipset child wanting to use a device that wasn't compatible with what it should have been compatible with. I assume they will eventually get the app working on kitkat like they said it would, I just would give it more time. The device is fun and educational, once you buy a new device to use it with.
I did initially face some confusion, as I didn't realize the wand required a bluetooth connection to a tablet or PC, and unfortunately the front of the box doesn't make that entirely clear (although in fairness...I'm not sure what other magical technology I would've expected this kit to use). The software does not support phones, nor screens smaller than 7", so I couldn't use my iPhone or older Amazon Fire, and my desktop PCs don't have bluetooth baked into them. After getting into the software, I understand why the strict requirements of larger screens, since dragging around code blocks would've been next to impossible on an iPhone. I did manage to find an old Surface tablet that worked perfectly for this, but I wish the requirements were a bit clearer up front.
Opening the box, you'll find an unassembled wand, and a very clean, clear guide that introduces you to the hardware. It will step you through building your wand while showing off the many aspects of the PCB). The wand itself, once you've assembled it, has a nice weight to it (from the batteries) and feels good to wave around. The single button on it is generally used to 'center' the wand in the app any time you need to reset its position. There doesn't seem to be any on/off setting available, and the instructions specifically recommend you remove the batteries when it's not in use, so I'm unclear if there's a sleep function or not. After assembly, you're pointed towards the downloadable application and ready to go!
The app is clean and easy to use, with bright buttons, sounds, and large UI perfect for poking and prodding. The challenges you're presented with are all very straightforward, with it telling you to drag this, change that, push this, etc directly. As an adult, I wished it provided a bit more explanation and context for why you're changing this number or that setting while dragging the code blocks around, but the more I played with the challenges, the more I realized that the ideal teaching method being used here is simply repetition. Many of the challenges give you the same instructions over and over again, and after a number of challenges where you're being walked through how to set up a 'while' loop, for example, I knew the exact order of operations to get a 'while' code block up and running and it made future challenges much faster to set up and get going.
The instructions/step-by-steps are a bit sensitive and can break easily if you jump ahead of it, but the app overall doesn't really care how closely you follow the instructions, and at any point you're able to just break free of the guide and do whatever you'd like in your coding. The sharing functions are great, and you can jump over to the Kano World part of the app to see what other people are creating. The gallery appears to be updating instantly; any time I switched over to it, there would be new creations that had been uploaded only seconds earlier. Most of the shared creations are very simple, and there are no options to filter or sort by the 'best' or most popular, so it was difficult to see some more complex creations or find some crazy ideas that had been built. Seems like a great place for a future update to the app, though!
Overall, this is an extremely easy way to be introduced to the world of coding. The box says it's for ages 6+, and I'd agree with that, but I think if your child is on the younger side of the scale, it may require more supervision, given that a lot of terms used in the app are never explained (such as "frames" versus "milliseconds" on the code blocks, or some of the more complex math used to calculate wand motion). It's not crucial that a child understand the terms if they're just following the instructions, however some introductory language or guides towards not just what to change, but why, would be helpful.
PS. Oh! And don't forget about the customization options...completing challenges unlocks outfits, accessories, and more for you to decorate your character with. They're all Harry Potter themed, of course, so if your child is a fan, they will definitely enjoy putting on a Gryffindor scarf or holding a bottle of Felix Felicis.
As my daughter did her first "spell" in the play section of the app, her little face lit up! She was so thrilled that she was "making magic"! As we started to explore the app a little more, she began to try the "challenges", where you create codes to do things like changing the color of an owl or creating rainbow fireworks with a waive of your wand! The first challenge is very simple and begins to build as you go along to each challenge. My 11 year son began to take notice of what my daughter was doing and was very impressed that his little sister was coding! The kids played with the wand until it was time to go to sleep, and it was the first thing they requested to do when they woke up in the morning (and again after school)! It is wonderful to see my kids having fun and being introduced to coding in such an approachable way! We are only a few days in, but I have a feeling they will love this kit for a long time to come!
So far, this one is unfortunately a total bust.

As I am a computing teacher - I have asked my school to consider purchasing a class set I loved it that much! I think the design of the challenges are very well thought out with key computing concepts covered in a really fun and engaging manner. I brought the wand into school and played over break with a few of the boys and there were quite a few "I want one for Christmas" comments. Loved it!
