## What is Zuzu's Bananas?

Monkey Preschool has gone bananas! Join Zuzu, Mr. Clocks and a bunch of dancing bananas in a colorful collection of over 50 wacky games and surprising puzzles. Starring an enormous cast of lovable characters, Zuzu’s Bananas is a free-wheeling arcade where little gamers pop popcorn, teach rabbits how to share, and help keep monsters out of the rain.

Zuzu’s Bananas is designed with young players in mind. The games are captivating, entertaining, and based on core early learning concepts such as pattern recognition, object permanence, and executive functioning. While these games are age appropriate, we know all kids are different, so we use our Knack technology to increase or decrease the difficulty based on performance.

Love monkey preschool but this game is pointless. Want my money back.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you were disappointed with the app.  While we do not have a way to provide refunds, Apple usually will.  If you go to your receipt email and hit the "report a problem" link and use that to send an email to Apple they will usually give a full refund.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2017-09-13*

Love some of their other apps, but this one was just very disappointing. Was expecting more for being one of their more expensive apps.

I'm pretty upset, this game is suppose to be 2.99. Checked my bank account and 15 was charged! Somehow it must have mixed up but I want my money back! This game isn't worth 15!
