This game holds a special place in my core memories as a game that taught me my facts. Unfortunately now the game has been abandoned and it crashes after just a few levels. Making the experience very frustrating for those who are new like my Littles, who are learning their facts for the first time. ### 2/5 — crashes after first video *2024-11-20, version 3.0* crashes after first video ### 2/5 — Game always crashes after 3 levels *2023-06-11* It gets nostalgia points for sure, but when it consistently crashes after the first three level video reward, not much fun to play.. ### 4/5 — Number munchers *2023-02-27* It is a fun game similar to the game I played as a kid. I just wish it didn’t only let you play 3 levels then go out of the game. ### 3/5 — Love it but… *2022-12-04* Love this game from my childhood. Using it now with my kids. The game has some glitches though where it just closes after playing the videos after a couple of levels. I hope they fix this soon! ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-12-03, version 3.0* I keep getting kicked out after 3 rounds! Super annoying since the app was not free. ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-07-22, version 3.0* The game lets you play 3 levels and then a cartoon video comes on. When the video is over the app crashes and closes. I want a refund ☹️ ### 1/5 — Paid 3 bucks for a crashing app *2021-05-04* Looks like the devs for this gave up 6 years ago so I doubt any fixes for this will come. Just like everyone else, the game crashes at the 3rd level, regardless of what type of levels you chose. Was super stoked to find this app but very disappointed with the results. Don’t waste your money. ### 2/5 — Game crashes frequently after 3 and 6 *2021-03-14, version 3.0* They kept to. The 80s nostalgia but the app isn’t stable.. it crashes every time after beating levels 3 and 6 ### 1/5 — Don’t Buy *2021-03-06, version 3.0* App doesn’t work correctly. Not worth the money. ### 1/5 — Glitch *2021-01-19, version 3.0* Shuts down app after level 4. Cannot get it to move past without shutting down. Such a disappointment as I was planning to use it to reinforce multiplication with my son. Want my money back! ### 4/5 — Awesome *2021-01-16* This is the best game ever I definitely recommend it gives you a short movie and then you can basically one like all the levels super easy fun for kids definitely recommend get this app my kids love it so much it’s like they’re addicted ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-12-27* I tried playing it once, and then it didn’t let me enter the app afterwards. Sadly have to pay for an app that doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Do not waste your money *2020-12-08, version 3.0* It only works past level 4. Total waste of money. ### 1/5 — Buggy. *2020-11-15, version 3.0* Crashes after a few levels every time. The difficulty settings are not appropriately scalable for different ages. This is not the game I grew up with. ### 1/5 — FALSE Ad: game won’t go past level 3 *2020-11-04, version 3.0* Despite advertisements of 125 levels, the game kicks you off after 3 levels and you have to start over. Not even worth 1 start or a free download. PLEASE FIX THE GLITCH or refund the THOUSANDS of people you’ve ripped off! ### 1/5 — Shuts down after level 3 (multiples of 4) *2020-10-28, version 3.0* Like other reviewers have said, there is a bug in the system that kicks me out after completing multiples of 4 EVERY time. Once that is fixed, this app is just as great as it was back in the day! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does Not Work *2025-03-25, version 3.0* This game only worked the first time I played it. When I went back to play it, I can move him around the board but cannot select the numbers. Super bummed because I love this game. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-09-28* I normally wouldn’t write a review for an app, good or bad. But this game doesn’t work past a certain level. It just shuts down and you have to start back at the beginning if you want to keep playing, and then it will shut down again when you get to the same spot. ### 1/5 — Crash after 3 *2024-03-01, version 3.0* The game crashes after three levels and the cartoon there after. ### 1/5 — Crash *2023-08-04, version 3.0* It be great if it didn’t crash after the first level clear. ### 1/5 — Game almost unplayable *2023-05-28, version 3.0* The speed necessary to double tap to eat the numbers is WAY too fast. In some case no speed is fast enough. Fix this and it would be a great nostalgic game to enjoy with my kids. ### 1/5 — Cannot click *2023-04-16* I can open the app but the track pad or mouse will not work to start the game. ### 1/5 — Not sure if this will upgrade in the near future *2022-08-28* I play it anyway because of the nostalgia. I am just hoping that there will be more levels in the future since the levels presently are repetitive and not advancing as it should. And I hope this game will stop crashing all time time soon. ### 1/5 — Game closes out *2022-06-16, version 3.0* Continually shuts down, often after 1 round. Not worth money. They owe me a refund ### 1/5 — Crashes EVERY TIME *2021-10-28, version 3.0* This app will not play past level three (as I repeat what everyone else is saying). Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Refund me! *2021-08-13, version 3.0* Like everyone else is saying this app crashes after 3 levels. Total waste of money. There is no way to contact the developer for a refund. TRASH!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please update! *2021-01-06* Crashes every time but this game rocks! ### 5/5 — Used to love this app *2020-10-12* I used this app on floppy disk and when I tutored children in the 90s and early 2000s. When I moved in to our son’s and daughter in law’s house to help with remote learning, I trotted this our and our granddaughter immediately fell in love with the program . The problem is that the game quits after level three each time. Can you help? ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-03-19, version 3.0* This is a great app it is super fun and easy to use and you learn a lot from this awsome game I do a contest with factors ### 5/5 — Great Game *2015-02-21, version 3.0* Works just like the one from my childhood!!! Thanks for making such a cool app. ### 5/5 — Just like old times! *2014-10-24* This game is a great update to the old number muncher game! Great graphics and works perfectly on my iPhone and iPad. Please make a word muncher game next! ### 5/5 — 12 years later wow *2010-05-14* omg i cant believe this best best computer games of all time i was such a pro back then haha and now that its out for the iphone have to do it all again thanks Apple ;) ### 5/5 — Just like when I was a kid! *2010-04-26* This brings back great memories and is so much like the original. Thanks and well done! ### 5/5 — old-school awesome *2010-03-20* One of my favourite games when I was a kid! Thank you for making this available! I never thought I would find this here. Now all we need is Word Munchers and we're set! ### 4/5 — Great game. But cutscene glitch. *2024-04-26, version 3.0* Great game, indeed, but when I don’t skip a cutscene, the game crashes after it ends. Please fix this. Then it would be 5 stars. ### 4/5 — Bring back word munchers *2023-12-05* I saw super challenges word munchers, but I clicked on it, and it didn't work. So, I wanted to know if the word muncher can be added to the Apple app store. Thank you so much. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
