So, so, so glad I bought this
By Amazon Customer on August 24, 2020
This product is amazing. Since Covid I have been worried about too much screen time. My son loves gaming but I was looking for something that was more educational and just as engaging. He absolutely loves the activities especially making his own music. It makes coding, logic, and problem solving so fun. Lessons start off easy and are very well scaffolded. There is such a variety of lessons and games and everything is easy to use. (Also parent friendly) This will be a useful tool to complement online learning.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 23, 2020
I gave this to my grandchildren - or rather my daughter to try out on her twin six year old boy and girl children. This was at her request because like many people she recognises the modern reality of coding being something that could be a very useful skill and the earlier it's introduced the better the end result.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 23, 2020
I'll also add the following. She is a biologist and previously a PhD researcher, her husband is a doctor and her father in law who helped as the outlaws were visiting was a design engineer at BT at senior level before he retired. A clever bunch of people in other words.
This is the combined review of their efforts with 'The Bubs.'
I have to say we were completely underwhelmed by this kit. Once it comes out of the (oversized and over packaged) box, it’s apparent it costs £99 for a plastic stand, a plastic clip on mirror, and a set of plastic tiles. Which, seems an insane amount of money for what’s in the box.
Perhaps if you buy the coding add-on alone (with the stand and mirror starter kit) it’s better value. But, alone it seems hugely overpriced.
We used this with a Fire tablet which was incredibly clunky. Possibly with an iPad the user experience may be somewhat different but that seems unlikely.
It took a good thirty minutes to find, download the app, create an account , verify the account, set up a parent account, create a character and get going. Overly long and complicated.
In addition it always needs tapping twice to do any command. 3..2..1.... nothing, tap again. 3...2...1... and then it goes. It was just annoying.
My two six year old's were rather unimpressed and this held their attention for just one or two move combinations before leaving myself and Granddad to have further attempts.
I understand this is part of a bigger series of games and add ones and maybe the others make it more worthwhile although I can't understand how it could.
Currently I struggle to understand why you need the plastic tiles at all. The information is communicated via the mirror and tablet’s camera and I don’t see why these can’t simply be buttons within the game or app.
I can only assume that the tiles are useful for children who prefer or need to be hands on. My gut feeling is that these are just because it's something other companies such as Lego have done to 'engage' children.
I briefly looked at the shapes and words games. Again, I was a bit bamboozled about why the additional plastic pieces are necessary.
I may be missing the point entirely but it seems a bit waste of plastic and something additional to organise and store between play sessions.
Coding is usually all on screen and can be saved for further games but in practice does not seem to be the case.
The game maze/map does grow as the game progresses though.
Maybe this is aimed at more tech obsessed children or children who need ‘bits’ to build with rather than buttons.
Overall this was not well-suited to the Fire tablet and also didn’t capture my children’s interest whatsoever neither of whom are lower achievers.
The first picture is everything you got in the box.
The app and games are free to download.

Very Over Priced Plastic Parts
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 29, 2020
Not been ripped off quite this much for a long while. The Osmo Kit itself is actually just a plastic tablet stand that does absolutely nothing but hold the tablet about 4inch in the air. The other bit that slots over the top is simply a mirror to reflect the tablets own camera down to the table. So you get 2 bits of plastic for £80. Yes they throw in the coding kit which is just more plastic blocks but ultimately we didn't really want them as my daughter only wanted the frozen kit. This should be sold as an Osmo Kit for about £10 and the the games kits separately. In terms of concept it's quite good but the Fire tablet camera let's the experience down a bit.
