### 5/5 — SV versions

*2026-02-11, version 9.0.1*

I love this app so much it’s so useful just wish you could make a scarlet and violet version

### 1/5 — Cant figure out

*2025-11-24, version 9.0*

How are you suposed to actually get the app/game

### 3/5 — Cant figure out

*2025-11-03, version 9.0*

I dont know how to get on a map

### 4/5 — Pretty Good! 👍🏽

*2025-06-12, version 9.0*

I’ve really been enjoying this app; with it, I don’t need to rely quite so heavily on Bulbapedia. Also, the fact that it’s specifically dedicated to Sword and Shield means finding the relevant information I need is a lot quicker and easier.

My one complaint is the Areas tab, I feel like it could be a bit more organized. It would be nice if we had the option to look at locations in the order they appear in the game. Also, in terms of available Pokémon, I feel like it would be better if late game Pokémon were grouped separately from early/mid-game Pokémon to avoid confusion. Maybe have them in separate sections like the Pokémon pages?

### 5/5 — I 💜 this

*2023-08-11, version 8.0*

This game is super cool with the Pokédex filter’s and EVERYTHING!!! I recommend this app/game to people who like research on Pokémon or fan’s of Pokémon! This app is super cool with all the Pokédex’s and just *happy noises* I am glad I got this app! I love Pokémon sword and shield and sometimes this app is helpful. Pls get this app it is so cool! 💗🧬🦄

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-02-06, version 8.0*

I love how easy to use this app is! Please make ones for all the games!

### 5/5 — Fantastic App for filling out your dex!

*2022-11-18, version 8.0*

I was looking for a good companion app to help me keep track of my Pokédex on my journey to completion. I tried multiple, some even more recommended on forms. But this one was the best by far! It showed up in the “you may also like” and I am so glad I downloaded. . Being able to filter by “not caught” really kept my sanity. 

Now that I’m finished with the Galar dex, I am going to work on a living dex in home. I would love to see this developer make a complete National dex (and update later for SV).

### 4/5 — Premium Worth It!

*2022-07-26, version 8.0*

I Would Like A. update Where It Tells You the catch rate of each pokeball on each Pokémon.

### 5/5 — AWESOME…2 things lol

*2022-06-10, version 8.0*

This is an awesome app, and I use it every time I open Pokémon Sword & Shield! I just have 2 recommendations. - 1. I think this would make for a good update. There should be the option to add how many of a certain Pokémon that you have obtained, and give the option to input they're nickname. - 2. This isn’t a recommendation for this app, but I look and see how amazing this one is, that I think a version of this app, but for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet would be amazing for when it releasing. Amazing Job, I’m impressed! :)
