Thank you! ### 5/5 — ES *2021-09-12, version 8.0* I love the app everything about it. But just to add would u add Pokémon that didn’t go into Sword & Shield. ### 5/5 — The perfect Dex App *2021-03-19, version 8.0* Not only is the thorough with information it also has no app 5 stars in my book! ### 5/5 — Poke boutique *2021-03-09, version 8.0* Great information! Don’t usually spend money on apps. But I think i may have to on this occasion! ### 5/5 — Fantastic App! *2021-03-08, version 8.0* This app is a perfect companion for anybody who wants to play Sword and Shield and doesn’t want to keep looking up information. It’s super easy to navigate and see everything you really need like typings and weaknesses, and it even shows the chances to catch and the stats of everyone too. This app is excellent to see which Pokémon are available in every area as well. One thing I wish was possible: when looking through the different areas, and some Pokémon are only available during a certain weather condition, I wish I could be able to filter out Pokémon that aren’t available due to the weather I have in game. So if I’m in a snowstorm, I would rather choose “snowstorm” in app, to see only the Pokémon available always, and the Pokémon available during the snowstorm weather. That would make it much easier to know exactly what I can catch, and also reduce a lot of scrolling (especially in the wild areas, where there can be upwards of 60 Pokémon, but only 5-6 are available at that moment). That is something that would make this app even better! Anyways, this app is amazing! Great job! ### 5/5 — Amazing nothing less *2021-02-01, version 7.0* I want Sword for Christmas and I watched a few videos and really liked it so I looked for an app about the Pokédex. I saw this app and got it immediately. I love it a lot and have only had it for what an hour maybe less! This is a huge help and now I know what starter I want, what Pokémon I will get quick and what I will get later on. I will get Scorbunny and catch Wooloo as my first catch and catch Feebas later on! Thank you for such a great app! P.S Something is wrong with the Rockruff and it’s evolution. Only the Midday one has evolutions. Look and you will see but it does not remove a small and I mean really small fraction of the fifth star!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 ### 5/5 — Best tracker ever *2021-01-31, version 7.0* So smooth, works perfectly, and doesn’t try to jam it down your throat that you haven’t purchased premium. Also I have been using this for a few days and NO ADS! amazing. I bought premium because I’m so grateful. The only thing I’m looking for is curries? Is there a curry guide on here? No biggie if not maybe just a future update or something. ### 5/5 — Amazing App!! *2021-01-15, version 7.0* The best app I’ve found for Sword! Super helpful and great layout! ### 5/5 — Super Helpful!!! Just one Thing. *2021-01-13, version 7.0* I’m not a new player, but I can still forget types and type matchups. My dads a new player and hardly knew anything about Pokémon, but he found the app and introduced me to it. It’s become my go to for sword and shield info. In the items, it tells you what the item does like evolves a Pokémon but doesn’t show the Pokémon it works on. I think it should show which Pokémon use the stone to evolve. ### 5/5 — Good *2021-01-04, version 7.0* Good ### 5/5 — YESSSSSSSSS *2020-12-05, version 7.0* Very generous people who actually care about the users. Love their support and thank you for taking away ads and I absolutely LOVE the new effect and I’m glad that everything is optional. Like, I’m a sword player but I like red colors over blue, and I can do that. This is WAY more than just a Pokédex tracker! It’s very detailed as well. This is the real deal app, I suggest you get it now and make your Galarian adventure the best one! ### 5/5 — Great Pokédex and Tracker! *2020-12-03, version 7.0* Just purchased the premium version to give some props to the dev. The app is clean and easy to use and does a great job tracking your caught Pokémon as well as giving me locations of Pokémon I don’t have. I was originally using Pikadex which is also a great app because it also includes all other generations but I found some inconsistencies with evolutions and such. Anyway, I hope development continues with this app as the generations continue. Definitely worth it as a free app and even more if you go premium. Update: not only did I get a response from the dev, but there was a nice update waiting for me in the AppStore. Real talk, more devs need to be like this one. Great job! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cant figure out *2025-11-24, version 9.0* How are you suposed to actually get the app/game ### 1/5 — How dare You *2021-09-30, version 8.0* Make me pay for information other apps would give for free ppppsssshh nice try guy. ### 1/5 — No Family Sharing for Child *2021-01-03, version 7.0* Supported the premium version of this app on my adult supervisor account for my child’s account only to find the developer has not enabled family sharing for the in app pro upgrade. Very disappointed my child can not use it fully now on his device which was the purpose. ### 3/5 — Cant figure out *2025-11-03, version 9.0* I dont know how to get on a map ### 3/5 — Not bad *2020-09-01, version 5.2* This is a very good app but you need to add the other regions for FREE! Not with the premium ### 3/5 — There is no dragonite *2020-06-30, version 2.1* The entire dragonite line is missing!!!! What ### 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? ### 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. ### 4/5 — Where is linkcode *2021-04-08, version 8.0* That’s all ### 4/5 — Great design, functionality, and informative *2021-02-06, version 7.0* After downloading numerous other Pokédex apps on iOS, each offer a piece of what this app can do. I’m looking forward to seeing what else is in store. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 — Nicholas 875002 *2023-05-30, version 8.0* Nicholas ### 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). ### 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! :) ### 5/5 — This app is AMAZING *2022-03-08, version 8.0* You can read the other reviews, we all agree that this is probably the best Pokédex for Sword/Shield out there. Best part? No ads 😁. Thank you to the developers for making a masterpiece ### 5/5 — Great app! *2022-02-16, version 8.0* Best App for Sword and Shield! Definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — Good *2022-02-08, version 8.0* Thank you for helping me look at Pokémon items and other stuff ### 5/5 — Best Pokédex *2022-01-21, version 8.0* I love this Pokédex because it shows a loala And glairians And gigantmax --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
