| 2024-08-25 |  | | It is very good. It teaches us many things like Countries ,states and capitals and monuments, cultures, cuisines and more. You can scan the globe and learn about animals and monuments. And there are many msteries and quizes to solve. It is very fun and educational. I loved this app and their product very much. Best for age 4-10 |
| 2023-12-11 |  | | Tested app on my son's tablet before gifting him the globe; seems to be quite interesting. Sadly can't install app on my daughter's tablet even tho it's the same model as my son's (app won't show up as being available to install on her tablet). CS team was very quick to help troubleshoot and nailed down the problem to a minor fix. Hopefully they could fix it before globe is gifted to the kids for Christmas. 4 stars for the impressively quick response time and my quick test on functionality. |
| 2023-09-26 |  | | The globe is fragile (not designed for kids) and the base broke after a few months. The company continues to spam me, and their opt-out system is a dark pattern! Now, about the idea -- the kids don't really learn about the globe. They're glued to the screen. It seems cool at first, but AR goes through an iPad or phone, a tiny viewport on what should be kids looking at a globe. The content is severely limited for the space it takes to download. Buy your kids a real globe that's not cheap plastic. |
| 2022-12-29 |  | | Garbage app. Doesn't connect to the server at all when setting up account, clicked sign in as guest and doesn't let me continue without downloading categories but also can't connect to the server. Update: company responded to feedback quickly, issued an update to the apl which works now. Changing to 3 stars. |
| 2022-12-27 |  | | App doesn't get past the Sync phase. Globe is useless at this point. Tried on an iphone and Android with the same results. Buyer beware. And yes, I have the latest version. Revised - Uninstalling and re-downloading per developer instructions did the trick. Working now. Thanks. |
| 2022-12-27 |  | | Edited Review: This app is so much fun! Had a previous issue with not being able to get past the scan screen so I deleted then Reinstalled and it worked perfectly! My kiddo loves being able to explore the world and the mystery games were the best! Really is a fun interactive learning toy ❤️ |
| 2022-12-25 |  | | I downloaded the app but I'm having problems. I can enter all the details of my child and the language, but, when it takes me to "Sync Categories" I cannot unselect anything or press sync, it just stays frozen, I've tried calling but they didn't answer. My son was very excited for this and now his Christmas is ruined. Thank you |
| 2022-12-04 |  | | Our daughter is very happy with her globe. We had some problems with the app showing a error message. Email support was super responsive, even on a weekend and fixed it within very short time. Thanks PlayShifu team for a great customer experience. |
| 2022-12-02 |  | | My children were very excited to learn new things only to be let down. I will be returning the globe immediately after several failed attempts to download app on different devices. We haven't gotten passed the first step to locate Statue of Liberty, very dissatisfied. Our decision to return globe immediately was also based on previous reviews of other families with the same issue. There is no button for zero stars, in order to review one was necessary it was a waste of my time and money |
| 2022-09-16 |  | | Is a very good toy and app for the kids and elders to learn about different countries. Couple of suggestions - * Unable to zoom in to any of the AR icon as the star is lost out of focus and AR disappears * App should contain some videos and bigger images (a gallery perhaps) about each place / animal / cusinise. The 3D representation is very basic and unable to zoom in too. Videos / photos will help kids imagine the components better. |
