I had a problem with the app initially, so rather than give the app a bad review, I contacted them and told them, they got onto the problem and fixed it, sometimes it's good to talk.

Broken since recent updates. Not everything worked before but now just about everything is non-functioning, or simply won't load. The magic set associated with this is cheap junk, so the app was formerly the only thing that made the purchase worthwhile. A major disappointment to my grandson now.

Sadly, the app will not stop loading and does nothing, and the blue section works. Nothing else. I've even tried to reinstall it, but it does the same thing. Please help this app when you can.

The magic set I bought claims that it has 40 magic tricks. Inside the box there are 7-8 props, but there are instructions for 40 tricks. Also, this app has only 5 videos. At least you could upload 40 different videos, for every trick you mention.

Absolutely ridiculous the instructions with the magic set are partially for this app that doesn't work. Similar to other reviews, the camera comes up and that's all, nothing else happens. The help button does nothing either. I have a very disappointed child now

The app is tremendously disappointing as NONE of the tricks where augmented reality is needed work. Even the number spinner subapp doesn't have a spinner on the dial. The props in the set are ok, but the app is an embarrassment to Marvin's Magic & the developers.

Unfortunately it doesn't work. The AR doesn't work at all and the "help" button on any section doesn't do anything, just freezes the app temporarily. One very disappointed little boy.

BE VERY CARFUL!!!! This app uses your camera even when it's not needed. I was watching card videos that did not need the camera, but I could hear my camera auto focusing until I blocked it in the permissions. Then the app would not let me access it until I enabled the camera. very dodgy

Immediately spammed me with a ton of notifications (which forced me to remove the permission for notifications), then forced me to watch a long video to understand the confusing interface, nagged me for personal information including email address, then asked for camera permissions. When I refused it got stuck asking for the permission and wouldn't carry on. So I uninstalled. Why do companies have to be this shady? Do better!

App is okay, but some of the tricks don't work and just shows a blank black screen. Also the video instructions are difficult to understand and quite confusing.
