Hat Monkey for Android

This app is cute enough but offers shockingly little for its $2.99 price. The best Fox & Sheep apps are only $1.99 so I was very disappointed to see that my daughter had seen everything and was bored after less than 10 minutes. With no voice over children who can't read don't know they are being instructed to do, and even with my help it just didn't hold their interest. Can I get my money back please? :(

I downloaded this app a long time ago and it has been a hit with my two year old son for months. He loves the hide and seek game, feeding the monkey bananas, and giving the monkey a high five. The whole time he has this app on, he just giggles nonstop. My only issues are: there is a bit of reading for a child under five so that they know what to do with each stage (this could easily be fixed by adding a VoiceOver option). It is easy to click over to the next stage accidentally. Some of the stages, like sending a text, seem to go over his head. I'm sure that will change as he gets older, though. Overall I'm glad I downloaded this app!

This is darling. There's so much to talk about if an adult and child do this together (e.g., where do you think the monkey will hide next?). Great that it can be used with so many languages, too - I will be able to use it in my work with young children.

This is another Fox and Sheep app that just isn’t up to par with the standards of their older apps. Nighty Night and Little Fox Music Box (plus the Petting Zoo app) all shine with beautiful artwork and rich user experiences. This app is just terrible, and I regret purchasing it. My little one of 3 years had very little interest, and there’s very little it does, with no room to “think outside the box”, just rote repetitive minimal interactions (coupled with simplistic, garish artwork).

We're big fans of the other apps by Fox & Sheep but this one came off a bit more creepy. Most of the other apps have a lot of charm in the design and art direction but not this one.
