### 4/5 — The best

*2024-04-06*

I love the team maker and the game is free and it's also free for any body over  iOS 9 but the fact that you can't battle with your team is the part I don't like 4 stars

### 4/5 — Great app

*2023-06-25*

I love this app it’s really helpful but it would be better if when you looked at a Pokémon it told you if it carry’s an item and what games it has it in it would be really useful especially when grinding for metal coats

### 5/5 — Best Free National Pokédex Yet

*2022-08-07*

I love being able to see the pokeball icon when I see, or catch a Pokémon or a shiny. I love that the Pokédex is updated to the most recent generation too.

-only one thing that would be a great QoL update. Enabling either categorizing via a specific games Pokédex, or categorizing the Pokédex via a specific generations Pokédex.

### 4/5 — Really good but..

*2022-02-23, version 2.3.0*

I really like this app but i think you should have it be able to be alpha or alpha shiny and also different versions with different have caught symbols as well as other little things.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2021-12-16*

I, like many, have used multiple Pokédex apps and Showdown to track teams, Dex completions, and weaknesses but this app is all in one. Any issues I’ve noticed I reported to the developer who literally responds within a day or two and then quick updates. I’m happy I paid to unlock everything (: I’d even be happy to pay for the licensing of pictures if the sprites can ever come back

### 2/5 — Great app but really needs fixed

*2021-09-07*

Absolutely love this app. The team builder feature is awesome and I love the ease of use. However, I don’t ever get to use my favorite team builder function because the app crashes every time I try to use it. I would absolutely change my rating to a 5 star if just this issue would be fixed. I’ve tried sending in a bug report in more than one occasion and have yet to hear a response which is very disappointing, and does not leave me with high hopes. Would also like to see the Sword/Shield Crown Tundra DLC info added in.

**Developer response:** As of now, this app was suspended due to a permission conflict with GameFreak. We got the bug reports and they will get addressed as soon as we get this app back in the store.

### 5/5 — Crown Tundra Update

*2020-12-30*

When will the update come through?

### 1/5 — Outdated we need crown tundra and to laggy

*2020-12-07, version 1.3.0*

Please consider adding the Pokémon of crown tundra and fix the lag

### 5/5 — Get it NOW

*2020-11-05, version 1.3.0*

Best dex i could find, but they should really bring the crowned tundra soon. Very well done developers 👍🏻

### 2/5 — Invasive ads

*2020-10-29*

This app has some nice information, but the ads are super invasive. You get ads after opening a Mons info, every time. Not sometimes, but every time. Most of the ads are full screen, and hide the close button at the top of the screen, behind the time, or battery icon, so that you can see it, but are unable to close it. You have to completely close the app, but when you go back in, and scroll to down to the Mon again, you just get another ad. Sometimes it opens double ads. It will open a banner ad, and then wait a second or two, then open a full screen ad, also.
