Does your child have trouble sleeping due to a fear of monsters in their room? You are not alone! My son would never settle and would often end up in our room as he was scared monsters lived under his bed. I hated that I couldn’t put his mind at rest and reassure him, he was also missing out on necessary sleep and struggling during the day! I came up with the idea for ‘Monster Checker’ one day and we have never looked back! My little boy scans his bedroom every night to make sure the ‘monsters’ aren’t there - we also use it when we stay in unfamiliar environments e.g. hotels/camping. It has put his mind at rest and he sleeps soundly knowing his bedroom and surroundings are safe for him. It has been so comforting to know he isn’t worrying anymore!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Monster Checker at none against Lightsaber Simulator's 5. Monster Checker also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). Lightsaber Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 1) and review sentiment (88% vs 67%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lightsaber Simulator sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Monster Checker asks for nothing beyond the download.
Monster Checker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lightsaber Simulator has 2.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Lightsaber Simulator's written reviews are positive against 67% of Monster Checker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lightsaber Simulator ships an update every 4 weeks, Monster Checker weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
