📝 About this app
An app for the very youngest Numberjacks fans. If they love the Numberjacks they will love playing with this app where animated interactions make numbers come alive.

This app is based on the award-winning educational TV series shown on CBeebies and around the world.… View full description on the official store →

About this analysis
Why low confidence: only 7 ratings · no founder-verified revenue (model estimate only) · revenue figure is directional only.
📌 Final verdict — read this before you trust the numbers above
My First Numberjacks App is a early-stage iOS app in the news space with weak public traction — only 7 ratings, no founder-verified MRR, and not ranked in any monitored grossing chart. The app appears to be monetised, but public signals are too sparse for a precise revenue estimate.
Bottom line: treat all revenue, audience and acquisition-value numbers on this page as directional only — not founder-verified facts.
