### 4/5 — Fix the hit boxes!!!

*2017-09-28, version 1.3*

When I tap the fast fall I die a lot even if lined up with a big elephant. I seem to hit the small one under it and die to the large one.

### 4/5 — Great fun but,

*2014-10-03, version 1.1*

I am currently unable to check my ranking on the world wide scoreboard.  Part of the fun of the game is every time you get a new high score you run to the scoreboard and see how many spaces you moved up.  For awhile now i haven't been able to.  Please fix this so i can give that 5th star.

### 2/5 — Bad problem

*2014-06-13, version 1.1*

Every time I play the game freezes and makes me die then freezes again and shuts down and I can't play it again until I delete it and get it again

### 3/5 — To many ads!!!!!!!

*2014-06-03, version 1.1*

I can't remember how many times I died just because of ADS and I doubt I'm the only one who has this happen to them and if this happens to u pls let me know.

### 3/5 — Ads

*2014-04-17, version 1.1*

In most games, advertisement popups cause the game to pause. Not in Monkey Boots. The game continues in the background and if you aren't fast enough to close it, you restart. Fortunately this only seems to happen at the beginning of every 4 or 5 games. However, this coupled with frequent crashes offsets the really quite fun gameplay. 3 stars for the gameplay.

### 2/5 — Great Game, but very, very buggy

*2014-03-30, version 1.1*

Amazing game, but it crashes unexpectedly and many times, though you guys supposedly fixed this bug, it stomps many times, ruining your round. I love this game, just get rid of the stupid crap.

### 2/5 — "Better"

*2014-03-29, version 1.1*

The app has gotten better? It hasn't because the monkey still prematurely stomps, the ads are still in the way when they could be at the bottom and the instructions still show every time I start the app

### 2/5 — Bad performance

*2014-03-27, version 1.1*

The game could be good, but it crashed 4 following times (iphone4 ios 7.1)..

### 2/5 — Crashes repeatedly!!!

*2014-03-21, version 1.1*

About every 30 seconds the app crashes it might be because I have an iPhone 4 but plz fix it.

### 4/5 — what's with the speed-up?

*2014-03-17, version 1.1*

this game's super addictive, I love it, but there's obviously a bug-- sometimes when I'm playing a round, all of the sudden the game is going way faster than it was to the point where it's near impossible to play and not get hit by elephants. it's like the games in fast forward. hope they fix that soon because this game is the best...

### 2/5 — Crash

*2014-03-13, version 1.1*

Good game bu fix crashing

### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2014-03-12, version 1.1*

It's an amazing game and is so addictive! Way better than flappy bird!

### 2/5 — The double jump

*2014-03-11, version 1.1*

Is a huge problem!!!! I die for no reason and it's not even worth playing anymore. Instead of trying to beat my own high score, I'm waiting for the inevitable death that I can't do anything about no matter how well I actually play.

### 5/5 — Awesome game!

*2014-03-10, version 1.1*

I've had this game for 3 days and I'm addicted to it but I think it would be better and more challenging to have a combo that is x3 for jumping on the same color elephants, if you guys don't add that I don't care I'll still be trying to be on the leaderboards.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I hate it

*2017-01-15, version 1.1*

I can't get the game to start. It will download but then when click on it to play it just goes to my home screen

### 1/5 — No inicia

*2016-08-28, version 1.1*

iPad mini 2, no abre la aplicación

### 1/5 — Animals

*2015-06-17, version 1.1*

This game is incredibly disturbing. It struck me at first as innocent, but then I noticed something that was in front of me the whole time: none of the elephants have tusks. I am concerned for these creatures and urged to contact PETA.

### 1/5 — Has problems!

*2014-03-15, version 1.1*

Ok so every single time I play I stay and midair and is out of nowhere and then it randomly closes on me constantly whenever I'm close to getting to my high score. Please fix

### 1/5 — finally combo!

*2014-03-13, version 1.1*

Ok, let me first explain that one bug which is becoming more and more frustrating. When you "force land" or "force hit", i mean the action that you do with the right button, on an elephant, you sometimes still die although you hit exact top of it. This is very unexpected and god knows when it will happen but it occasionally happens and i hate it, because you come to 8000s and still doing perfect, but then all of a sudden, BAM! you are dead and you did no mistake! It never happens by hitting on an elephant without force landing, it only happens when you step on an elephant quickly. i hope that will be solved asap, because knowing that even if you done perfect, you may still die and lose all your points, makes it pointless. People who play the game a lot, should also notice this bug and they will understand what i mean. Btw i play the game on ipad air.

Besides that, I've been playing the game since the beginning and it is now one of my favourites with the new combo feature as i expected. I was thinking exactly about it and i was planning to write a suggestion review here but you guys already did it! Congratulations guys, the game is a simple pure success.

### 1/5 — The game itself is fun enough

*2014-03-12, version 1.1*

But whenever you open the app, it consistently pops up an ad right over the play button just as you are about to press it. I would rather have a ribbon ad during gameplay than have to close the App Store every time I want to play.

### 1/5 — It would be at least 4

*2014-03-09, version 1.1*

I hate the ads keep popping up almost everytime i tries to play..... Either fix it or u r not getting much download...

### 1/5 — Ads

*2014-03-07, version 1.0*

Terrible. Load supera Marín screen then pops up an ad that freezes up

### 1/5 — Not good

*2014-03-05, version 1.0*

What's the point in making a game stupidly ridiculous?oh I see, to get stupid banner ads.. And media hype, dream on..,,,

### 1/5 — Bugs y crashes

*2014-03-03, version 1.0*

Constantemente crashea el juego con iOS 7.0.6 y hay un bug que cuando saltas hacia atrás no salta el mono lo suficiente y siempre mueres arrollado

### 5/5 — Even better!

*2016-05-31, version 1.1*

I'm getting more and more addicted. That monkey is adorable

### 5/5 — This game is amazing

*2015-03-03, version 1.1*

I love this game it is a great way to pass time

### 5/5 — Monkey boots

*2014-05-17, version 1.1*

The game is great and it is so easy also 
the monkey that we all jump with is so 
CUTE!

### 5/5 — Major bug needs fixing

*2014-05-05, version 1.1*

I love the game a lot. It's my go to game on my phone. However, there's a problem. It crashes a lot for no reason. I think it has something to do with the ads, because it didn't crash at all when I was offline. But when I turned my cellular back on, instant crash. It's not like it's my own fault, because my brother has the same problem with the game. Please fix this shortly.

### 5/5 — Addicting and fun

*2014-03-21, version 1.1*

This game is really fun to play. Challenging with no glitches or problems what so ever. It's challenging to estimate how fast the elephants are going to evade them, and it's simply gameplay mechanics makes it great for everyone. I would recommend a music track though.

### 5/5 — Supera a flappy bird

*2014-03-19, version 1.1*

Diferente, sencillo y bastante adictivo

### 5/5 — Serieux la ?

*2014-03-18, version 1.1*

Jeu amusant mais comment peut-il être visible dans l'appstore !!??

### 5/5 — Power ups

*2014-03-16, version 1.1*

I think there should be power ups and upgrades for ur monkey

### 5/5 — Lots of Fun!

*2014-03-16, version 1.1*

The difficulty is perfect... Not too easy, but not too hard either. The graphics are really cute, the sound effects are nice, gosh, is there anything really wrong with this game? Besides a tiny, rare hitbox glitch that causes you and the stomped elephant to die simultaneously? Nope! Two weeks I've had the game, and I'm still not bored, still getting better. Thumbs up to the developers! Oh and also, the ads are just fine. Only one when you enter the game is tolerable.

### 5/5 — Better than Flappy birds

*2014-03-13, version 1.1*

Greeeeat!
