Please fix. ### 1/5 — Please refund *2022-11-29* My student loves all your games. Unfortunately this game he did not use and did not enjoy using. ### 1/5 — I don’t know... *2022-03-10* This is not a great app. Full of bugs. I’m not sure why I downloaded it. It’s just a bad app. The games are all the same. My preschooler got bored with it in three seconds! ### 1/5 — Don’t buy . *2020-07-16* It worked fine for a month and then stopped. I don’t know whom to contact. ### 1/5 — Purchased the app and can't get it to work? *2017-07-02* Every time I open it, it immediately shuts down?! ### 1/5 — Less annoying than the other apps in this series *2014-12-18* Good repetition with not much variety and it has no multi-tasking capabilities so if your little one presses the home key in the middle of the game, if you go back to the game, you have to start all over again ### 1/5 — Does not open on ipad 1st gen. *2014-07-16, version 1.01* This app crashes every time my 2 year old and I try to open it on ios5. Please fix I spent $2.99 on this. FIX IT!!! ### 1/5 — Broke *2014-07-10, version 1.03* Can't even open the app please fix! ### 2/5 — Not saving progress *2017-12-19* Every time I open the game, I have to re-enter my student's information again..... **Developer response:** Sorry for the trouble! We wanted to let you know this issue was fixed for all users with our most recent release. ### 2/5 — Disapointing... *2014-07-15* We love the other Monkey Preschool apps, so bought this expecting the same, but was disappointed... Not nearly so varied or engaging as the other games, also seems overpriced when compared to the other games. If you've not bought any other Monkey Preschool games get any of them instead, they are all much better than this one. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank you for fixing app! *2026-04-18* It works again on my old iPad. You have the best customer service! ### 5/5 — MIxed review - Changed to wonderful *2018-02-02* I wrote a review several months ago not liking an update to this app. The developer read that review and made changes based on my suggestion. So, my updated review is as follows: First of all this is a great app for kids. My grandkids (5 have played this game) love it. Secondly, it is nice to see a developer so responsive to our ratings. Great game — get it for your kids. **Developer response:** Sorry for the trouble! We wanted to let you know this issue was fixed for all users with our most recent release. ### 5/5 — Kids love it! *2017-06-26* Kids love the monkey preschool apps! They are my nephew's favorites!! ### 5/5 — LIVE LOVE LAUGH *2016-11-30* I LOVE THE GAME SO MUCH I LOVED IT FOR YEARS ### 5/5 — 3 & 5yo love it! *2016-11-23* Not too hard, not too simple. This app doesn't focus on just one subject so it's interesting for them to play for a long time and still be stretching their minds. Great app for all ages! I bought this in a combo pack with Monkey Math and Monkey Word. All 3 are great but this one is more preschool level while the others are K-1st grade. ### 5/5 — Perfect for my three-year-old *2015-03-09* After growing tired of preschool monkey lunchbox, we found this app. My daughter likes to choose characters and race then. It is easy enough for her to use by herself. She loves picking hats for the characters! ### 5/5 — Fun and educational! *2014-07-30* So glad there's a new Monkey Preschool game, Explorers is great. Great for learning numbers, colors, animals. Also great for kids to practice different ways to use the screen, tapping and dragging. Plus they just love these characters! ### 5/5 — Wonderfully silly and educational app *2014-07-21* Our almost 3 year old can’t get enough of the monkey apps. They’re elegantly simple and well-thought out in terms of educating little ones. Also, our daughter literally sits there cracking up at the monkeys. Like no kidding, full on uncontrollable laughter while the monkey is on screen talking. Design and art also very well done. ### 5/5 — Great! *2014-07-21* Totally engaging for the little ones. Love the new cute characters. ### 5/5 — Educational and fun *2014-07-11* Our family loves this app. It's a perfect game for school readiness, and is also playful and fun. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
