### 5/5 — Good

*2025-05-17, version 2.2*

Good

### 5/5 — Add Card Editing

*2024-01-02, version 2.2*

Add Card Editing

### 1/5 — Boo

*2023-06-30, version 2.2*

I can’t choose a photo

### 1/5 — Woof ! This app is horrible.

*2023-01-17, version 2.2*

Didn’t even get started. Tapped the box to add a picture and the app shuts down!!

### 1/5 — If I could give it 0 I would.

*2022-12-27, version 2.2*

Paid for the app. It crashes every time I try to insert a picture. Worthless.

### 5/5 — Great but some issues

*2022-04-20, version 2.2*

Ok it’s a great game better then I thought And it’s cheap! But there are a few problems some being passable some being down right confusing!

1. Length: length?? I thought it was height! Idk weather to do height or how long my Pokémon is! I can’t help but thinking if it’s a mistake, they didn’t know, or something else.

2. No third attack: while it’s not common for Pokémon cards to have 3 attacks, I have seen some that do, and every card maker I’ve gotten has had only 2. Yeah it’s a minor detail most ppl don’t care about, I think I would like to see it in a future update or something.

3. A bit confusing: ok the layout is kind of weird, I don’t know what the “create” button is it doesn’t do anything, but maybe that’s just me not realizing something, and it’s really weird having that there when you have the build button, actually at first I thought “create” was broken and later I realized there was a “build” button on the top right corner of the screen.

There are probably more but I didn’t notice them if so. overall it’s a great game! I recommend it to anyone who wants to make Pokémon cards! (Also apparently it crashes but I haven’t run into it as of writing this).

### 1/5 — I want a refund

*2021-12-23, version 2.2*

This game is trash you can’t even go past 200 health or damage and also is very broken do not download!

### 5/5 — Some ideas

*2021-12-18, version 2.2*

This is a really good card builder, but next to the other ones it’s not the best. I wish they had the option to make exs or megas, and the ability to write the illustrator’s name like on other ones. But overall it’s an amazing app.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2021-09-04, version 2.2*

This app would continue to lock on the final finish screen every time I tried to save .
A complete waste of 3.99! Don’t do it!

### 5/5 — Needs more backgrounds

*2021-03-02, version 2.2*

More backgrounds please
