### 4/5 — Pro user here

*2026-07-19, version 1.2.3*

Please implement a feature to where a NEW special noise will go off when the app detects a shiny! I play with one joycon and one eye open due to tiredness. Imagine if we could comfortably hunt with both eyes closed but use our ears 👀 pleaaaaseeeee

### 5/5 — Good for hunts

*2026-06-27, version 1.2.3*

I like using this it helps a lot with everything. But the only thing that sucks is that I can’t use a controller on my 2ds because of the paywall which I get that it there to help the app but let people use it at least three times a day to show that people can trust what you put out. But like said it great for everything else it was needed for .

### 1/5 — Not very smart app

*2026-04-06*

Why lock putting an image of the shiny? or using core features behind paywall? makes no sense

**Developer response:** Hey there, thank you for your review. I understand that this can be frustrating, but developing the app takes a significant amount of time, so I need to ask for some support through the premium features otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to keep it going.
The basic functionality is completely free and will remain free forever, but I do need to make the premium features somewhat desirable. Programming and maintaining this app is a lot of work and I do it fully on the side. The app is already appreciated by thousands of people who are grateful for the time I spend on the app.
Your 1-star review hits hard, but unfortunately, I’m not able to change the premium concept.
I hope you understand.

### 5/5 — Could be better

*2026-03-18, version 1.2.1*

It’s what you expect, it’s a little complicated but it does the job. Though you could do it manually and it look better

### 4/5 — Will be 5 stars if right stick fixed

*2025-12-15, version 1.1.0*

I find that a lot of games that use the circle pad pro (such as monster Hunter games on 3ds) will say the circle pad pro is activated but the controller right stick does nothing, and can’t even remap the analog or dpad as hitting a dpad button doesn’t recognize it in the remap part of app. Once that’s fixed I’ll change to 5 star review. Using a Series X Xbox controller.

Love that I no longer need to haul my laptop around to play my ds with a controller, can just use my phone now. Paid the one time payment of $40, normally i am cheap but I figured it’s a worthy investment.

### 2/5 — Paywall

*2025-12-04, version 1.1.0*

Everything that makes this app good is locked behind a one time $40 purchase or $3 a month, I was hoping the 3ds input redirection at the bare minimum was included for free but even that is locked.
