Ratings and reviews

Daughter got this for her 6th birthday and was SO excited to see it! Total bust :( I installed the app, followed instructions step by step. I have an updated, new phone. Nothing. She was so disappointed. We will just do the experiments together from the manual...but she really thought the VR was cool and it really stinks that it didn't work. And from reading many other reviews, seems I'm certainly not the only one.

Fun experience for the kids when it works. Main issue is compatibility with high resolution mobile phone displays. I have a pixel 6 Pro with a screen resolution of 1440 x 3120, using the small font size and small display size setting. I believe the application thinks my phone is a tablet and only displays augmented reality mode. Will not go into VR mode. I have to put my phone font and display size back to default, then it will activate VR mode properly. Needs a force VR mode setting

Installed fine. Did not work. Using a brand new Pixel 4 XL running up-to-date Android. App opens, introduces itself, and absolutely fails to recognize the page and therefore fails to offer any sort of enhanced experience. Complete flop.
