### 4/5 — Could be Improved

*2026-08-01, version 1.2.37*

I have another complaint. I’m complaining because when I lost pro, there was a thick line of white blocking the bottom of the screen, blocking you from seeing the Pokémon cry and Pokédex voice when you enter a Pokédex entry with a long description. This is frustrating because you also can’t see the names for the Pokémon in the comparator if you scroll down too much. Can you please fix this?

### 4/5 — One problem I can find

*2026-07-26, version 1.2.37*

Lovely ui looks clean but I can’t share my battle team.

### 5/5 — Phone overheating and app crashing!!

*2026-07-25, version 1.2.37*

Hello, I‘ve used MasterDex for as long as I can remember. This app was AMAZING when I got it, I was able to buy infinite teams in the teambuilder for pretty much a dollar, which was epic. However, recently the app is beginning to make my phone very hot when I use it. Along with that, every time I make a save to a team in the teambuilder, the app hesitates before it suddenly crashes, freezing my phone entirely for nearly 30 seconds before returning to normal. This has never happened before and I really want to know why it‘s happening now, it worked perfectly fine barely a month ago and now it‘s just like this. Please give me something at least, like advice or how to fix this.

### 3/5 — When r u showing the prices

*2026-07-22, version 1.2.37*

I love this app a lot but when ever I go see wut the price is it never shows up!?! So please bring back the prices

### 5/5 — Perfect Companion App

*2026-07-21, version 1.2.37*

Robust features and details. Clean and mostly efficient. 

Just wish it was updated and more useful for Pokémon Champions.

### 5/5 — App icon pls

*2026-07-21, version 1.2.37*

If you make a app icon changer for the app so it can be like rotom Dex the kalos one I think that would be amazing

### 5/5 — Perfect in every way

*2026-07-21, version 1.2.37*

AMAZING!!! BEST POKÉDEX APP EVER!!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-16, version 1.2.37*

I love the Pokédex sooo much and you can change the pitch and rate. It tells me everything so good five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 4/5 — Just one problem

*2026-07-12, version 1.2.37*

I was looking at Pokémon with own tempo and Rockruff didn’t appear. When I looked at evolution methods for rockruff it said to get Dusk form you just evolve it at dusk, which is partially true except that you also need a rockruff with own tempo to evolve at dusk. I’m just saying, if they got that bit of info wrong, what else did they get wrong

### 5/5 — GREAT!!!

*2026-07-11, version 1.2.37*

So sparkyluvsanimals, you can go in the settings and see the Pokemon! I LOVE THIS APP! But why is TCGmasterdex 18 plus for no reason?
