Product Review of Osmo Coding Awbie

Osmo Coding Awbie is an app that teaches kids to program by making them control Awbie—the fun-loving character that loves strawberries—by using coding blocks. Each block contains a coding command that guides Awbie on his tree-shaking, strawberry-consuming adventure. Kids indirectly develop logical reasoning and problem-solving skills. The app equips kids with the tools they need to thrive in an ever-evolving world. Osmo Coding Awbie uses its reflective artificially intelligent technology to promote creativity, problem solving, and social interaction.

What Users Love About the App
“The app is nicely conceptualized. Like all the Osmo products, the screen plus hands-on-pieces combination really keeps my six year old engaged in learning. This and all Osmo products are a nice complement to existing curricula, especially when kids are home with school closures.”
“Coding Awbie is an awesome app thanks tanable play! The blocks are colorful, easy, and fun to use! Keep up the great work/play.”
“Great learning game. You need to buy the Osmo hardware to play this game. There are no ads or in-app purchases. Bought the well-designed hardware, also doubles as a great Netflix stand.”
“My son has the coding set and he really wants to be a programmer when he grows up so this is perfect five stars”
“best! I love this coding it’s good. The camera works!”
What Users Dislike About the App
“My son started with Osmo coding over a year ago and we still haven’t seen the update!!! He completely lost any interest in the game and other Osmo products. The company came out with new software/toy and even an iPhone app but not the promised update!!”
“iPad Mini 5 running iPadOS 14.3. Frequent crashes are annoying. Also, I found a bug where if you set your path to trace over a fruit more than once, the path algorithm will count the fruit each time you would pass over the space that the fruit occupies, allowing you to collect more points than intended.”
“App used to work fine. Didn’t use it for a bit, and upon reopening, it wouldn’t respond to the tiles. Tried updating the app, but now the current version crashes immediately upon opening. Completely unusable now.”
“App is slow to respond, freezes, and shuts down frequently. Very frustrating! Annoying says my 5-year-old.”
“I really enjoy the concept of this game, however, it’s hard to enjoy it when the app keeps crashing every 5 minutes and losing my progress. I’ve played through the first level 3 times now. I hope this can be fixed in the next update.”
