It is also very repetitive and has no levels of difficulty. ### 4/5 — Good for encouraging kids *2018-03-01, version 2.00* Great fun for little ones to explore maths ### 3/5 — Fun App *2014-12-19, version 1.39* Like how I can set levels per kid's skill level and the ability to delete his or her progress/name. Would really like the capability to add more than 3 names however. Also would like if it would spend more practice in one area before jumping to another skill. Still fun practice for the kids though! ### 5/5 — Loving the monkey! *2014-07-21, version 1.37* Our almost 3 year old can’t get enough of the Thud monkey apps. They’re simple and well-thought out in terms of educating. Also, our daughter sits there cracking up at the monkeys, she loves them! Design and art also very well done. ### 3/5 — Disable adding new player *2014-07-12, version 1.37* I should be able to disable adding new player or edit current player as a grown up. My son will just keep playing with those buttons instead of going in the app!!! ### 4/5 — Teacher's Review *2014-05-07, version 1.37* My grade prep and one students love this app. They have played it quite a lot now and are finding it too easy. It would be great if the tasks/games could be modified for older or more abled children. Still a fun, educational and interactive app. Would love to see more apps like this! ### 5/5 — Fantastic!!! *2014-04-30, version 1.37* My 5 year old has grown up with "Monkey Math". She loves it & the number bubble game. (She is dictating this review :). She likes ALL of the Monkey Math games. Well worth the time spent. ### 5/5 — Great app for preschoolers *2014-04-14, version 1.37* My son loves this game! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2014-03-01, version 1.37* This is a great app for children 4 yrs & up! My son loves this!! And very educational! ### 5/5 — Most appropriate game I have seen *2014-02-08, version 1.37* There are almost no games out there for the 3 - 4 year old. So many of them are too easy. My grandson loves this game. ### 5/5 — Best K1 math app out there, keeps the child's attention *2013-12-01, version 1.37* One of the few apps that actually teach an reinforce skills rather than spend time on silly, unrelated game aspects. My 4-year old keeps coming back to this app even though he easily gives up on the other math games. Have not noticed any bugs so far after three months of play, which is remarkable for an app. My only gripe would be that the aquarium fills up too quickly. ### 5/5 — great game for our 3yr old *2013-11-17, version 1.37* she loves it and seems to really be learning math concepts from it. it has smart interactive games to help her learn to quickly recognize her numbers! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2013-11-17, version 1.37* My son loves this, fun and educational. ### 5/5 — Awe-mazing! *2013-11-15, version 1.37* My kid started on Monkey Preschool Lunchbox, and now she's ready for something harder- this is PERFECT!!!! Great job Thup! You rule! ### 5/5 — Love this! *2013-10-31, version 1.36* This is great for my preschooler, it's fun to see her excitement when she gets it right. This is one game o don't mind her playing, along with the other thup games. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Baby game! *2015-01-01, version 1.39* This app is for extremely young children. 3 and under. Pre-schoolers might like this if they haven't learned numbers and patterns, or if they don't understand. ### 1/5 — strong American accent *2014-06-11, version 1.37* Might be a good app if you can get past the annoying American accent. I have now deleted this app. Please update with an English Accent Option. ### 1/5 — Mr *2013-06-05, version 1.35* Crap app and Scam ...I never outurised you to bill me for anything ### 1/5 — Geht so.... *2012-06-07* Leider nur in Englischer Sprache, zu wenig Stationen, Fehlkauf. ### 1/5 — Great Program but too Many Bugs *2012-01-24* I am an elementary teacher with a three-year old daughter. I am rating this program solely based on the bugs. However, if the bugs were remedied, I would rate this program much higher. We are experiencing a lot of problems with the voice directives. The monkey’s dialogue often cuts out, leaving directions to be choppy and confusing. This leads to a lot of random guessing when my daughter has independent iPad time contradicting the idea of a learning program all together. Other dialogue glitches occur when the monkey counts the sides of the shapes, counts up the numbers for the tiny turtle, and reading the numbers with the math problems. I am a big fan of Monkey Preschool Lunchbox and was thrilled for my daughter to use Monkey Math School Lunchtime. If the bugs do not get corrected soon, I have no choice but to delete the program as it is not conducive to learning. If the bugs were corrected, I would definitely rate this program 4-5 stars. Some games are right at her level while others are more challenging, which allows her to grow with the program. My daughter is really good at the shapes, connect the dots, filling in the missing number, and popping the bubbles with a certain number. She is appropriately challenged by the patterns. The addition and subtraction problems are above her head, but the program gives manipulatives to count up to the correct answer. The game that it too challenging for her is popping bubbles with sets of numbers. The bubbles fly by too quickly for her to get the concept. I am confident that she will eventually understand this game as well. ### 2/5 — Kind of boring *2013-06-06, version 1.35* My son got bored quickly. Even though game changes activities a lot it's same old thing. Pattern, pop bubbles with number, add two numbers, pick correct shape, and connect dots. Just jumps around a lot. Doesn't really teach ### 2/5 — Fun but *2013-04-25, version 1.35* You can't touch two points on the screen at the same time. It's hard for kids to hold an iphone without accidentally touching the screen with extra fingers. Actually all the touch response is pretty poor. The content is excellent but the mechanics are bad. ### 2/5 — Audio is messed up. *2012-10-22, version 1.2* The game is really cute and could be helpful for my 3 1/2 yr old with learning addition, etc except the sound on iPad only works sometimes. Not sure why I am the only one sat I'm dissatisfied. It really does ruin the game. ### 2/5 — Annoying *2012-04-28, version 1.2* This monkey annoys me, why can't you do games again and repeat those that your kids love?? My son gets bored with this very quickly. ### 2/5 — Good but... *2011-09-30, version 1.1* Please make this multi-tasking. Our child really hates to lose his progress when the app exits and I need to use phone to chk email. Keep up the good work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pretty easy and fun *2025-06-22, version 2.08* This is pretty fun I like this game so much. and math is pretty easy. I like doing hard math and winning so much prizes. Adding this math is pretty easy. How can I win more prizes ### 5/5 — Yay *2021-01-18, version 2.08* Good ### 5/5 — ❤️❤️❤️😜 *2020-05-07, version 2.04* I do not care if I’m “too old for this game” it’s freakin awesome🐵 ### 5/5 — E *2019-11-02, version 2.04* Erfg ### 5/5 — Passing it on to my baby brother *2018-01-10, version 1.92* I used to play this as a kid still young I can’t say my age but now it’s time to download it on his iPad and make him play this game it’s still good till this day :). ### 5/5 — Kids love it! *2017-06-26, version 1.43* Kids love the monkey preschool apps! They are my nephew's favorites!! ### 5/5 — We miss this!! *2016-06-28, version 1.39* We would love for there to be Monkey Lunchbox, etc for every grade level! My daughter is going into 2nd grade now and while researching some apps to help her with math practice, we talked about how much she loved the various Monkey games she had a few years ago. Now of course she's too old and they are too easy. Why not make more for the older kids!? ### 5/5 — Very Impressed *2015-04-06, version 1.39* We took a chance and bought the whole pack because my kids loved Monkey Preschool Lunchbox. My 5 year old loves this, especially the aquarium prizes! We love that there are multiple users and that it adjusts to her difficulty level based on her success in the games. Soon my younger one will be interested too and they can each have their own user in the game. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2015-01-22, version 1.39* Another fantastic app from the monkey collection. My 3 year old learns best by play and this is very much suited to her. She knows her numbers, but this app is teaching her about their concept - the order, sequences, subtraction ### 5/5 — Perfect learning tool *2014-10-09, version 1.39* My 4 yr old has nearly mastered it, and the 2.5 is starting to move more from monkey preschool to this too. Best money spent ever. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
