Hippo Magic Hack 4.0.1 + Redeem Codes

I had to come to the reviews to see if anyone could explain why the sound wasn’t working (I had to turn the ringer on). Having that in the instructions would’ve saved me a lot of aggravation, trying to figure it out on my own. Once I got it working, it was pretty cool. My son enjoyed it!

This is the coolest thing! I got the app, scanned the cover and bam Goldilocks and The Velveteen Rabbit pop out of the cover...THEN they tell me to open the book and keep going on the adventure and nothing else happens. I hold the phone over the marked augmented pages and nothing happens (full page in view). I click the camera and video icons and it just saves videos and pictures of the flat hook page to my media. I can’t get the rest of the AR pages to work. Really disappointed. I would’ve bought many more of these books if it had worked.

Two days after my first review, the developers answered below and the app updated. Now ALL of my books work! It took some trial and error to get started, but now all pages work when I flip them. This is the coolest and cutest thing I’ve seen. I can’t wait until my baby is old enough to read and interact with the books. Until the , mommy thinks they’re just awesome, and we will read the stories to my baby or look as the cool characters come to life. Thanks for the fast response and fix on the app! (We now own 4 of these books, and will be looking for others to make a complete set).

This is a great app with a lot of potential. My 2 year old daughter loves it when it works. We have “Let’s Learn Counting”.
First off, the app doesn’t always recognize the correct book. When it does, then another problem occurs. After I scan the cover and the next scannable page, it often still plays the cover animation while trying to play the new animation. This happens most with the number 4.
Another problem that I’ve often experienced is when using the pages with the bigger numbers and more things to find. It’s rarely recognizes the finger taps when looking at the off the screen view.
I am using a fully updated iPhone 11.
I hope these issues can be fixed, because this app has great potential to be awesome!

I think the concept is very cool, however I had to come read reviews to figure out how to make the app work properly. That was very disappointing when instructions could have been in the app. It turns out your phone cannot be set to silent. Even with the volume up. By the time I figured this out my son had lost all interest in reading. We tried again later and found what interaction is available is fun, however it doesn’t exist on all pages. It would have been much better had the interaction gone directly with the story on each page. We enjoyed the book but I’ll be removing the app from my phone as it isn’t user friendly and since it doesn’t tell the whole story there’s really no point.

This seems like it would be a fun feature and my toddler was so excited when I showed her this. Now I just have an upset toddler thanks to the app not downloading the book. It stops at... you guessed it....69% What’s even more disappointing is that after having this issue on two different phones I look to the reviews I and sooooo many people are having the same problem. And even more disappointing is that the developer responded to a comment in May suggesting they fixed the problem and yet there’s almost another years worth of reviews stating otherwise. I think what I find the most upsetting is that this isn’t just a click bait app. This is on a book in a store advertised towards children and then letting them down. Fix the problem or stop selling the books.

I used this app for the first time with my nephew last week and he liked it so much I got another book for him. When we went to scan it again instead of it showing the boom it was just a black screen. I tried checking if my camera wasn’t functioning but it was, I deleted the app and downloaded it again to double check I selected yes when it asks for access to the camera, but still just a black screen. I then tried downloading the app on my sister’s phone and had the same issue. That leads me to believe it must be an issue with the app itself. I hope this get resolved as I had orders several more books for Christmas that I’d hate to return.

After I left my one star review, I decided to try again to scan our Three Little Piggies book and wouldn’t you know it, it worked. My son is loving the interactive experience and we had fun as a family playing with the piggies. Will definitely purchase additional books! Great fun.

————————————

Trying to download by scanning the cover of the book and it keeps getting stuck at 69%. Boo!

I just downloaded the app for my daughter for Christmas because she received a Christmas present from family that needed this app to help make it 3-D, and the camera on it will not work. I’ve made sure that my settings allowed to have the camera access and everything but it is completely black both front and back and you can’t do anything with it. I have tried restarting the app and the phone and it still doesn’t show anything for the camera.

Me and my babies had a really fun time with this app, however it seems like it needs a bit more development. I had a hard time figuring it out (maybe there needs to be more directions?). Also, the hippo icon wouldn’t scan on some pages and I had to start the book over twice just to make the right app show up. Overall I think it’s a wonderful idea and very fun - I can’t wait to see different books and more development on the app!

I bought this book not knowing about the interactive application until I got home. We ended up downloading the app and it is really neat and cool! Not only do the kids get a book but the interactive part makes the book come to life! I cannot wait until my 1 year old gets a little older to appreciate the app much more!

Really cool idea!
