You’re supporting a small creator, using a UI that you can see a positive impact of your progress. It has a strong community of kind and caring individuals. This app is fantastic, get it I promise you’ll be happy :) ### 5/5 — Big W *2026-07-28* Most fun habit tracking game on iOS ### 5/5 — monke *2026-07-28, version 1.4.7* monke ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2026-07-28* I have been struggling with addiction for a year now and I was very excited to start using this app and turn my life around, only to see a paywall. I'm not old enough to hold a job, I don't have the money for this. We all bleed red, we all have the same struggles. I understand this is a solo developer but it would be nice if it wasn't so misleading and told me I had to have money to help beat my addictions. ### 5/5 — Thus is a huge start *2026-07-27* I want to change who i have become I want to see what i can be other then what i am now i hope this app carries me on my journey well My struggles with ADHD need to be controlled and i know deep down i can stop my bad habits and get that animation career i always wanted Thank You Monke for this opportunity ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-07-27* The best habit app i’ve used, really helps me. Monke happy👍 ### 5/5 — Monke *2026-07-27, version 1.4.7* Monke good app ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-07-26* I really like MONKE ### 4/5 — Money *2026-07-21, version 1.4.7* I really wanted to get this but I couldn’t find myself paying for I sadly I had to stop ### 5/5 — Monke See, Monke Do *2026-07-19* So much more in depth and personalized than I thought it would be. Making it a game changes thing too. Been here only a few days and I find myself itching to complete any task that pops up to get me bananas. Great concept and excited to see where the journey takes me! ### 3/5 — Im falido *2026-07-17* 60 reais tooo much for monkys broken ### 2/5 — Had alot of potential *2026-07-16* The types of apps that hype you up just to give you no option but to pay isn’t an app that should live up to the hype ### 5/5 — First 4 minutes *2026-07-14* I’m 4 minutes in and I’ve got to say, I enjoy how it starts, it’s is a very necessary introduction and I like the tone of voice. ### 4/5 — Monke *2026-07-10, version 1.4.7* Monke Monke Monke ### 5/5 — I love this app *2026-07-10, version 1.4.7* It’s honestly a great idea to keep people going. ### 3/5 — Games pretty much just a normal chore planner *2026-07-04* I guess that’s the point, it’s a planner with an island builder game. But you should probably just stick to a normal planner. But i like how there’s only one person making this. (if i remember correctly) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sucks it cost money *2026-08-20, version 1.4.8* Watch a lot of his videos and thought if I play his game it will help him and me but no it cost money and the worst part is before it makes u take a survey and I spent a good bit of time doing that and it seemed like it was gonna help a lot I thought monke was better than this ### 1/5 — Payant *2026-07-04* C'est dommage, l'app semblait vraiment cool ### 1/5 — Subscription *2026-06-30, version 1.4.6* Did not warn me before free trial was about to end. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2026-06-04* I had high hopes for this app because i love the YouTube channel but this was not worth £10/month. The app just doesn’t function very smoothly or just does not work in landscape mode. It’s also very hard to find things. Took me a lot of fiddling around and even looking stuff up because there’s not a help button or tutorial for the app. I’m probably going back to Finch which is more engaging and doesn’t require payment to simply function. I’m sad to say this is just another scheme to farm money for a YouTube channel. ### 1/5 — Just like every other corporate app *2026-06-01, version 1.4.5* They gave you a whole entire survey just to give you the iconic 3 payment option buttons. I genuinely had to pay for this, then ask for a refund just to join the discord. ### 1/5 — COMPELTELY PAID *2026-05-31* I understand that youre sole developer but yeah atleast have some freemium benefits Maybe thats the reason your ask for review at start after showing UI identical to your videos but anyways yeah fine ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2026-05-08* Monke too greedy for banana. Would have gladly tried it for $1.99/m trial and then paid the yearly or lifetime if I liked it ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-04-27* Required to pay after many questions ### 1/5 — Free to download, pay to use *2026-04-26* The cost for this sort of app is too high ($13CAD/month). And making Download free then forcing u to do a survey then pulling the rug out telling you need to pay is awful. It’s what all the other scam self help apps do and makes me disappointed to be an avid watcher of your YouTube videos. ### 1/5 — Why so expensive *2026-04-26, version 1.4.2* I get that there’s a team behind this app and the YouTube channel but charging $80 for something that you thought would have some sort of free help (or at least affordable) is outrageous. They’re using people that are struggling with life to get them emotional about it and have them Pay for it. No thank you ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s worth the money *2026-08-24* Yo, monke, I just pay for one month just to see what it is actually like and it’s worth it, but I would like to do some suggestions, like for example. 1 there would be great an option to like change the music, I mean not like putting my own music, like there would be more types of music to choice, or and option to trade bananas for music. 2 I love those monkeys that are around my monkey character but it would be great if when I touch them there is any option for an habit, I don’t know like there would be nice to have something, like motivation phrases or something, but so far so good I’m almost done with my habits and soon I want to fill my island with trees ### 5/5 — Life changing *2026-08-18, version 1.4.8* This habit game built so much discipline for me ### 5/5 — Praise and suggestion *2026-08-13* I downloaded monke after having a few slow weeks at work that had me down. I started a business in high school that aims to help people improve their finances and make their money work harder for them, which as of late has been harder and harder to keep consistent with as challenges pile up. As someone who’s built custom tools like this to help my own workflow I love the design of monke app, but would love to see some more habit options that could be applicable to people with less guidelines and safety nets in their life like me, since it’s that lack of redundancy and having to forge one’s own path that scares me the most on a day to day basis. Keep it up bro, alive internet theory is real. ### 5/5 — Effective monke. *2026-08-11* It’s drastically detox my dopamine. I am not for focus monke and enjoying i life revelation on edge. Ps…. Not paid comment ### 5/5 — GREAT FOR CHANGING YOUR LIFE *2026-08-09, version 1.4.8* I’ve used this app for 5 months and it’s genuinely made me a better person. ### 5/5 — This app *2026-08-03* I love it and I hope it changes me into a better person I am a bit annoyed that at the start you can only choose up to 3 ### 5/5 — Monke *2026-08-02* I love monke ### 5/5 — Amazing but should be free just with less features *2026-07-30* this is good but i wish this was free so that i would be able to enjoy it to its fullest ### 5/5 — Monke *2026-07-29, version 1.4.7* Really good it does help me a lot to keep track of my habits and at the same time it’s fun. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-07-29* Very catchy 👌 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
