Osmo Genius Kit for Fire Tablet

Expensive but my kids love it and I love that it uses technology in an educational and creative way. My 6 year old is able to use this pretty independently and even teaches her 2 year old brother play too!The stand is quite big, so it's not as compact as the iPad version, but it works smoothly. You need to work on a plain surface to avoid confusing the tech. It's helpful to have dry wipe board in order to play the Monster drawing game without wasting loads of paper. Given the price, this should really be provided.The Osmo device itself isn't battery-operated, so you only need to worry about charging the tablet, which you will do a lot as the kids have loved playing this so much!Set up is pretty straightforward.1. Create an online profile on the website.2. Download the apps for the games on your tablet. It's a bit silly that it's a separate app download for each game, rather than a single app as a central loading point, but not a big deal.3. Then launch each game on the tablet and begin playing.

I am extremely disappointed with this product. I thought I had checked compatibility quite carefully but I have found out on my daughter's birthday that it doesn't work with her new 2020 HD8 tablet, and that the return window closed two weeks ago. She thus has no present and £100 is down the drain. The compatibility should be much clearer with years given and warnings that you are buying something new that doesn't work with a new device. It looks like a great toy - I wish we could try it.

I have to agree with some other comments that it does not capture your little one' attention for too long, but hey everyone is different.The games do lack variety though they seem to have different difficulty levels. I suspect ours might be faulty as well. For instance when my daughter plays words it constantly fails to capture the letters in front of it even if we try to move them after a bit which means her "opponent " takes its turn as well as the point and she looses the game most of the time. For 5 years old it is very frustrating and unfair especially because she does get the letters right. The drawing game is absolute disaster.And we just missed the return/exchange date.I guess you won't know if you like it until you try it, but I personally will not be getting any other games for this device, don't think it's worth it.

Absolutely fab. Got this for our boy's 4th birthday and his maths has improved so much just from about 20 mins play a day. He is getting so good at all the games and learning sobmuch at the same time.

Firstly this is not a complete set. This only comes with 3 of the advertised learning games, the remaining two are just the apps without the tools with which to play them. I can't really see the point of downloading those apps if you're unable to use them.Worst still it was not advertised that this needed an adapter for 8 - 10th generation Fire tablets and that this was not included in the set. We have no looked to see if we can get this separately but it is out of stock and has been for weeks. This has left us with a set we're unable to use for the foreseeable future.Far from impressed!
