Five Little Monkeys is an educational and interactive app designed for young children. Based on the beloved nursery rhyme, the app helps toddlers build math skills through counting, color recognition by interacting with different monkeys, and reading skills with highlighted sing-along text. Featuring interactive objects like a ringing alarm clock and a peek-a-boo dog, children can explore the monkeys' bedroom while enjoying three original musical styles: Country, Rock, and Pop.

Our Expert Score

87/100

Five Little Monkeys is an absolute gem for parents of toddlers. It takes the classic nursery rhyme and turns it into a high-quality interactive playground. What makes it stand out is how it manages to sneak in genuine educational value—counting, color recognition, and even reading—without ever feeling like 'schoolwork.'

The interactive elements are delightful; my child loves that they can actually shake the phone to make the monkeys do somersaults. The addition of different musical styles (Rock, Country, Pop) means you won't lose your mind listening to the same loop over and over. It’s a polished, safe, and truly engaging app that turns screen time into a productive, musical learning session. It’s one of the few preschool apps that truly understands its audience.

Just purchased and downloaded for my toddler and when we click on the app to open it we just get a black screen. We removed it and downloaded a second time and still won’t work.

My grAndkids have all enjoyed this ap so much. The youngest of them is wild about it! That said, it was most upsetting when the sound would not work. When I emailed them I heard back immediately. The first suggestion did not work and when I emailed them back, again I heard from them right away. This solution worked for all of the aps (not just fr this company) that no longer had any sound. I did not hear back fr any of the other companies that I contacted. So, not only is it a fun ap for the kids, but the company can be depended on when I might need them. I think that says a lot. I will check out all of their other applications.
