Grandson loves this game *2014-06-13, version 1.8* My grandson started playing this game when he was not quite 3 years old, and just loved it.

My students get a kick with them dancing, giving kisses & high fives! Great apps! Have anymore coming soon? Btw, when will u have half price days again? Ty...JM ### 5/5 — fun app *2014-03-17, version 1.7* one of my daughter's favourite apps. it's so cute, when the grampa in the game gives a high five, she high fives us too. :) ### 5/5 — Fantastic educational app *2014-03-09, version 1.7* For kids that love helping in the shed, and want to learn about tools. My 2 and 4 year old boys love it! Great games, good rewards and no advertising!! ### 5/5 — One of the best preschool aps *2014-02-11, version 1.7* I am currently homeschooling my twin toddlers and this application hits on age appropriate, challenging concepts for my sons in a fun way. They love the sounds and graphics and get a thrill out of high five-ing grandpa. I love that they are practicing math skills that reinforce what I'm teaching them at home. Also the makers have a support function. Within minutes they had responded to and resolved my issue I had. ### 5/5 — Really popular with my 5 year old grandson *2014-02-04, version 1.7* This one is a favorite of this. Worth the money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Son found it boring *2021-07-20* Can do fractions, painting, but didn’t hold his attention he wants to delete it straight away and try another app in the range, he wants the building one instead ### 1/5 — No sound! *2019-07-15, version 3.3* My two year old can’t read and she doesn’t like the game! ### 1/5 — Nice looking app but no sound *2017-06-02* Not a game my 3yr old daughter can play due to the lack of sound ### 1/5 — Crush on ipad *2016-11-11, version 3.2* when I open it's crush on ipad pro 12inch and ipad mini ### 1/5 — No sound. Fix??? *2015-02-27, version 2.1* I bought the bundle and we loved it, but the next day, it lost sound. I deleted and reloaded...no change. Is there a fix!? My 5year old daughter loves these apps and now she can't use them. ### 2/5 — Only one level? *2016-09-29, version 2.4* I bought this for my ( year old granddaughter Tuesday at 2:00 after many requests and "puleeeze"s. By 2:30 she had played the game all the way through twice and was quick to point out that the tasks were exactly the same the second time and so were the responses. "When will it get harder, Grandma? she asked, so I encouraged her to play it a third time. When I checked on her ten minutes later she was coloring. "That game is boring grandma, she said. You should give it back." Is there a way to trigger a Level 2 or 3? For $2.99 I'd expect that. ### 2/5 — Ok *2013-07-03, version 1.4* Seems fun but I wish grandpa spoke the directions. My 2 1/2 year old cant read what he is supposed to do! A little disappointed. ### 2/5 — Grandmas Garden, Grandpas Workshop *2012-11-20, version 1.1* Disapointed...Grandma and Grandpa...both games wouldn't let me paint and reverted back to i-pad opening screen. Sorry for bad review but kids were dissapointed. Ended up deleting both games. ### 2/5 — Cute but gets boring quickly *2012-11-19, version 1.1* Paid for app- 3 yr old loves giving hi-5's but the plate puzzle is too easy for him, there are a limited (4?) videos about using tools, the grandpa dance is too short and the fractions and other learning opportnities are minimal. The app has potential and graphics are really nice but my 4 yr old is already bored with it after 10 minutes of getting 100 pct in all areas. Please improve! ### 3/5 — Good but gets repetitive very quickly *2014-05-11, version 1.7* Would be nice to have new videos, puzzles, games, as they progress ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-05-30, version 3.5* I played this when I was 6 and did every activity. Even though I did all of them and got bored of it I still made sure to play one everytime I got on my iPad because I felt bad for the grandpa character ### 5/5 — We love Grandpa’s Workshop *2025-08-07, version 3.5* My son adores this app and although he’s played it a thousand times, he still gets a kick out of putting broken pieces together and giving Grandpa high fives. ### 5/5 — Good game! *2025-02-16, version 3.5* My little sister loves it!(especially the painting level 🙂) ### 5/5 — My son loves it *2022-01-31, version 3.5* My son loves this game and has learned a lot from it. He goes back to it regularly and I think that it has lots to give kids of different ages. ### 5/5 — Grandma loves bugs. *2020-07-23* It’s my favourite game says my 4 yrs old grandson. Great for testing little ones minds with videos as an added extra. Bought more than one already. Give them a go. **Developer response:** We're so glad your grandson loves our games! ### 5/5 — More education but also great!!! *2018-02-12, version 3.3* I think you should put different grade levels in this game because my brother is in second grade and he says it’s boring because he knows everything and he isn’t learning. I would really like if you would put grade levels on but this game is also great!!! ### 5/5 — Grandpa's workshop *2017-03-11, version 3.2* Awesome app! This is my son's absolute favourite now, and he's developing and learning some new skills while playing it. Can't wait to try out some of your other apps! ### 5/5 — My 3 yo loves this app! *2016-12-26, version 3.2* Great for fun and learning. Challenging enough to keep her interested. She might even be learning about halves and quarters. The high fives are fun and grandpa is charming. We love this app. ### 5/5 — Lots of Fun *2016-05-05, version 2.3* Great little game that my daughter loves to play. Her favorite parts are the "high-five" part and making Grandpa dance. ### 5/5 — 3 Year Old Grandson Loves It *2016-03-19, version 2.3* My 3 year old Grandson loves playing all the Grandpa games with his “Pappy”. Can’t wait till he’s old enough to hang out in my workshop. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
