Reference the Amazon Fire Wikipedia Page for additional details regarding the Fire tablet naming convention.
Can I charge my Amazon Fire tablet while in the Osmo base?

Yes! That said, you will need to move the reflector over to one side in order to make room for the charging cord.
How do I know if my Osmo reflector works with the Amazon Fire tablets?
- If the reflector has a white Osmo logo on the front and 5 small white dots on the back, it is the reflector that’s designed specifically for Amazon Fire tablets.
- If the reflector has none of these markings, it's the version for iPads.
Why doesn't the back button work with Osmo for Fire apps?

The Osmo apps do not use the back button on the tablets that are compatible with Osmo.
What are the Osmo Amazon Fire base extension legs used for?

In order to play the Osmo games on the 7th Generation Fire 7 and 8, the legs in the base must be extended.

HOW TO EXTEND:
In order to extend the base legs, you need to pull the legs out while keeping the button pressed.

HOW TO RETRACT/SHORTEN:
To shorten the base, hold the button while pushing the legs back up. Note that if the legs appear stuck in one position, you may need to wiggle them a bit from side to side.

Please refer to the following videos to see a demonstration of leg extension/shortening.

You can find out your exact model under Settings > Device Options > Device Model.

The instructions for whether to extend or shorten your legs are also part of the setup steps presented at the launch of each app.

What Amazon Fire tablets is Osmo compatible with?

Please note that Osmo is not currently compatible with the new Fire HD8 tablet, which was released in May 2020 and started shipping June 3rd. Once we receive one of these devices, we'll start the process of assessing whether or not we can support it.

Since the camera is now located in a different area of the device, it will take Osmo time to complete the assessment.
When do you plan to launch an Android version?

In September 2018, Osmo launched the new Osmo for Amazon Fire platform! Osmo is now compatible with select Fire tablets. Please see the list here:

https://support.playosmo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007204253-What-Amazon-Fire-tablets-is-Osmo-compatible-with-

If you are unsure which tablet you have, you can find out by going to:
Settings > Device Options.

All the the Osmo games are compatible with Fire tablets *except* MindRacers, which will not become compatible due to a camera hardware constraint on the Fire tablets.

There are currently no plans to expand Osmo into other Android tablets.
