July – Osmo Newton Review

I (we) are incredibly disappointed by this update. This has gone from my absolute favorite Osmo game, to my absolute least favorite, in an instant. Taking away the grid screen takes away the engineering quality, and also makes it more difficult in a way that has nothing to do with intelligence, and everything to do with an iPad's limits, namely light- and there being not enough of it. Perhaps you can sell a little flash light, so our paper markings are bright enough to be seen... The grid screen was essential to this game. I wish I hadn't played the "before" version. I wonder if we would have liked this version if we had not played the one before? I certainly feel like we would be frustrated, as we are in this reality. We would love it if there was a to have the grid screen back- any chance? This is the first review I have ever written on the interwebs. How unfortunate that it is a negative one. :( Please note, we truly love our Osmo, and THAT is why this is so depressing.
