They lost interest as it would take about a minute to boot up and even longer to switch between the Masterpiece and Newton games.

The native OSMO app seemed to be quite CPU intensive and was very sluggish on our iPad, making introducing it to the children quite difficult. Getting Started For this to work, you obviously need the standard OSMO hardware package which includes an iPad stand and camera reflector (as shown here).Īs our iPad is now a little old (iPad 2) it took a long time to go through the process of downloading the OSMO app, setting up and account, making sure the iPad is charged (our slightly older longer charging cable doesn't fit in the stand, but the standard charging cable that comes with this model of iPad should fit in the stand so you can charge it while using). I found this to be about right, although the upper age is probably only limited by the user's appreciation of the characters involved, as the art can be as detailed/ simple as the user wants it to be. It states on the box that it is for Ages 5+. The Sketchpad itself is made from thin plastic type pages that are durable and water resistant this should ensure long life and multiple re-use. You are also told to wet the Super Sweeper (flannel) which actually does a really good job of cleaning each Sketchpad Page once you are done (they recommend that each page is cleaned immediately after use). Apparently there are different colour Markers available, and they do gradually fade and disappear from the sketchpad, even if not wiped off (hence why they are recommended rather than other pens).

You are advised to use only the Super Studio Marker with the Sketchpad, as other 'art supplies' (I'm assuming they are referring to other makes of dry wipe/ whiteboard pens) will stain the Sketchpad we have not tested this.

OSMO Super Studio contains one Super Studio Marker, a Super Sweeper and a Mickey Mouse and Friends Super Sketchpad.
