ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Math Animations Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monkey Math School Sunshine has 57 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Monkey Math School Sunshine's written reviews are positive against 78% of Math Animations Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Monkey Math School Sunshine ships an update every 4 months, Math Animations Pro every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
