Will change the relationship between your kids and their grandparents in amazing ways!!!
When this arrived I was excited to see how it could help the relationship between our daughter and her grandparents who live 5 hours away. Little did I know this would create such a strong bond and make them so much more a part of each others lives.My daughter Adalind would come home from school and get on the glow to call her Mimi. They would be on there talking, reading and playing games for so long we would have to go check on her to make sure that she was okay sometimes. The relationship that blossomed from these interactions was nothing short of amazing. This product actually gave them a relationship where very little existed before.Fast forward to now March of 2023, they are now no longer interacting with each other on a regular basis. You could say just use skype or facetime but it is not anywhere near the same. This gave them a way to interact where as skype calls usually end with Adalind getting bored and flinging the phone or tablet around.We have never had the loss of a product affect our lives like this and every day our daughter asks when Amazon is going to turn it back on because she wants to talk to her Mimi. I hope if nothing else this review lets people know the reach this product can have and gives amazon the extra nudge it needs to bring this or a new version back out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazon missed a huge opportunity by discontinuing
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2023

I am a kinship carer and kinship adoptive parent as well as a natural parent. My youngest was four when Glow was released. With required video chats throughout the week with two different parents and a restless four year old the Glow was a dream come true. The built in games, library, and activities and the way the users could interact was cutting edge. There was a wide range of skill levels avaliable. For a system in its infancy it was leaps ahead of the competition.
The system had faults. It would be glitchy at times and boot the app user off but it was still more engaging and useful than any other tool we'd found. The surface the mat was on needed to be super clean (difficult at times with little ones) and flat. There was a learning curve to getting all the interactive aspects to work smoothly but that was no worse than teaching them a new game. With almost four hundred thousand (400,000) children in foster care this could be a game changer for how those families stay connected and how it helps foster carers truly "foster" the children and their natural family connections. If Amazon's concern was low sales, as I've heard it was, they should look at government contracts. The set up was easy and once we figured out our way around in the system it was a highlight fir us every week.
I'll have to find our photos and come back to post.

5.0 out of 5 stars GLOW CANCELLATION - EXTREMELY SADDENED!
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2022
Verified Purchase
Getting notification that the Amazon Glow was going to be discontinued and unsupported completely breaks my heart! This is the main way that I am able to connect and bond with my grandchildren that live far away. We all have really enjoyed this wonderful device. I am saddened that we will not be able to keep our connection going. My grandkids are ages 3,5 and 7. The Glow definitely helped to keep their interest while we were playing and visiting. They even enjoyed playing on it by themselves at times. While I understand from a business standpoint the decision to stop selling them (my opinion is that it was not well advertised as I only saw it on Amazon and only recently on Facebook), I feel jilted by it no longer being supported. In my opinion, they could easily let those of us that have and use it to just continue with what it already has on it. There is no need to add new content. We play with what is currently available over and over, enjoying it each and every time. Being such a large and successful company, I can't imagine the cost would be very much for them to do so. While I appreciate being refunded, the money does not at all equate to the time and bonding that takes place by being able to play and connect with my grandchildren. We absolutely loved this device. It's too bad that this device was not brought to fruition a year or two earlier while we were all on COVID lock down, as I feel it would have been a huge success and one that would continue to be used today even though life is "back to normal".

I have looked online for another type of device like this to no avail. There is one app that I found which has a monthly subscription, but it lacks considerably in comparison. While it may help, I don't feel that my grandchildren will enjoy it nearly as much, which means they will not want to connect as often. Which makes my heart sink.

I hope that Amazon (or another company) comes up with an option that allows this type of connection. As a military wife and mother, the use of this device would have taken off if advertised correctly. So much more could have been done to reach others. I could see this being a fantastic way to connect with other friends and family by making the content age appropriate (games and books). There are many elderly that would love to be able to play a game with or be read to by someone. The only thing it was lacking was the ability to family share (connect with more than one person to play games with).

5.0 out of 5 stars A LOT better than we ever expected.
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2023

Amazon Glow was the device we never knew we wanted. We grew to love so much over the year plus we used it. We miss it terribly.

With this device, our boys could call their cousins and grandparents on their own, and have daily meaningful interactions. They had a blast with all the games! We all loved how they would use the Glow to stay connected with family that was out of state. Sure we could use phone and video calls to stay in touch, but it was the casual nature of the interactions like, "Hi Grandpa! Would you like to play a game?" that really made this platform shine!

The games were innovative, and the interfaces were really clever! How the Glow allowed them to see each other while playing on a shared gameboard was truly unique. A small video window wasn't fighting for screen space, and the "touchscreen" was so large and intuitive.

Other than long distance interactions, the Glow allowed brothers to play fun and challenging games with one another. One would get the Glow, and the other would get a tablet. This worked beautifully! They could play in different rooms, or at the same table. They were both entertained and played [relatively] peacefully with one another regularly. There were so many games! And new titles were ALWAYS being released! This was a unique platform that really provided truly unique opportunities.

We've used Osmo for years, and while that is a great platform for educational games, etc., but it is completely different from the Glow. The Glow allowed for real communication and connections, whereas Osmo is designed primarily for a single user at a single location.

There really isn't anything out there like the Glow for the regular consumer. I mean, sure, we could set up (2) devices, one for an online connected game, and another for a video call, but then you need two devices each, and getting all the connections to work reliably and consistently would be a bit of a pain and possibly a game of luck. Having everything in one consolidated and effective device made it so easy.

If they didn't wish to be the steward of this platform, for whatever reason, we wish Amazon would allow another private firm buy the technology and keep it going. We miss you Glow!
