### 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.

### 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

### 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

### 4/5 — I want to send….

*2026-07-08, version 1.2.37*

I love it but I can’t send my teams but I can’t select a theme to send

### 5/5 — Amazing App!

*2026-06-26, version 1.2.37*

An Amazing App but i do just have one Request, Can you do all Fully different Gender differences? So for example, You have Female Indeedee and Male Indeedee as two different things, I would appreciate it if you could consider doing the same for pokemon Like Meowstick, An Showing all Forms of the Pokemon as well (For Example, Including All Flower Flabebe, Floette and Florges and adding all Core forms of Minior)

### 5/5 — Best Pokemon Companion

*2026-06-23, version 1.2.37*

I think I might have written one of these already but I just want to make double sure bc this is quite literally the best Pokemon companion app ever. It feels like your actual pokedex in the world of pokemon lol. Literally all the information you could want at your fingertips, from where to catch, level up movesets, catch rates, typing advantages per pokemon, location data for every location in every game, and way more. It’s beyond useful and I tell my Pokenerd friends about it whenever I can. The full purchase is dummy cheap and well worth the price. I would even be confident enough to say this is the best purchase I have made on the app store. I barely google anything anymore when it comes to Pokemon lol. 

tldr: I can not glaze this app enough. If you play Pokemon plz download this app lol.

### 5/5 — Really Good But

*2026-06-21, version 1.2.37*

Can you add a feature to see the Pikachu Cap and Special Form please?

### 5/5 — EV & IV

*2026-06-21, version 1.2.37*

Love this app, it has helped me with all my nuzlockes and learning about the different level up moves and TM/HM moves. I would like to see more EVs and IVs based from the beginning. I know they go way back, and this is totally optional but worth a shot, right?

### 5/5 — Peak

*2026-06-20, version 1.2.37*

Peak

### 4/5 — I like but purchase unnecessary

*2026-06-16, version 1.2.37*

I don’t think the purchase of pro is needed

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-06-12, version 1.2.37*

Very good and even includes hypno my fav Pokemon

### 5/5 — I love but have a question - corrected

*2026-06-12, version 1.2.37*

I absolutely love this app!! I got it this morning for a Python coding project with making a Pokédex, and didn’t want to pull out my Pokémon Cards. I don’t have them all anyways! This really helped! But, going to the question (as mentioned in the title of this review), I went to the ID (last review said if) of #772 and is it actually called “Type: Null”? I’m just making sure since I know some languages use that format in dictionaries/objects/Whatever your code calls it, and how some languages use Null. Just making sure. I highly recommend this app!

### 4/5 — Great app, one thing.

*2026-06-11, version 1.2.37*

Love the app and the whole one time payment thing with no membership required, but my only suggestion is to color code the stats of Pokemon depending on how weak or strong they are so I can tell at first glance

### 3/5 — Why make dark mode premium?

*2026-06-11, version 1.2.37*

Its a very good app i love it dont get me wrong but i logged in today waiting for my master dex to be on dark mode and now its locked behind a paywall? I mean seriously they’re just money hungry for making dark mode locked behind money

### 4/5 — You should…

*2026-06-06, version 1.2.37*

Remove ads and allow people access to everything without having to spend money

### 4/5 — Great but would love if...

*2026-05-30, version 1.2.37*

This app is great! I would love if the "My Pokedex" feature had options to toggle tracking alternate forms/gender differences for a Living FormDex!

### 4/5 — Great app, just wish it had more.

*2026-05-29, version 1.2.37*

Some features the app is missing: Updated movesets (Like how Peliper can learn muddy water but it isn’t on the movesets) Regulation legal Pokémon in team builder, ability to check move’s accuracy and damage in team builder, ability to filter for Pokémon that learn 2 moves instead of just one, and a damage calculator is a big ask, but it would be pretty cool! Otherwise, this app is good for checking where Pokémon spawn and seeing stats, what games Pokémon are found in and ability to filter for that, and seeing what moves and abilities do!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No Champions Data

*2026-07-02, version 1.2.37*

I’ve used this app previous games and it’s been amazing. Totally worth the price. If you’re not praying for premium is perfect. That being said in the recent months in has fallen out of support for champions and has yet to update after champions release.

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2026-06-29, version 1.2.37*

The ads are making it hard to use this app. The paywall for certain features was fine, but with the addition the ad bar and back-to-back video ads.. na. Definitely not a 5-star app anymore

### 1/5 — Malicious Ad

*2026-05-17, version 1.2.37*

Dex info seems good, and the app was well designed. But on the free tier I got an ad that said my phone was hacked. Of course this is not true and the ad was actually the scam. Didn’t click anything, closed and deleted the app.

### 1/5 — Runs scam ads

*2026-04-18, version 1.2.37*

I get it he wants you to pay for premium, but the ads he allows on free are malicious and disgusting. Completely lost trust in this product

### 1/5 — I do not understand!

*2026-04-05, version 1.2.37*

What can we do in this app?!?! I DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS APP ONE STAR!!!

### 1/5 — Ehh

*2026-04-02, version 1.2.37*

I have a friend that wants to get into Pokemon and found this app for them until I saw that none of the Pokemon are in the app. It’s just their silhouettes.

### 1/5 — Way to ruin a perfect app

*2026-03-22, version 1.2.37*

This app used to be the best Pokédex app, but then it got overrun by super persistent adds and multiple paywall for features that should be free. Would rate 0 stars if possible.

### 1/5 — Inappropriate ads

*2026-03-03, version 1.2.36*

This app has inappropriate ads for kids… literally a dating or chat app ad popped up that showed girls touching themselves

### 1/5 — Added ads and a subscription

*2026-02-27, version 1.2.36*

Was really a great app then got greedy

### 1/5 — Served NSFW Ads

*2026-02-20, version 1.2.36*

Not appropriate for children.

### 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.

### 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⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 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?

### 5/5 — Impressive

*2026-07-11, version 1.2.37*

An impressive app with complete and continuously updated Pokédex with all info (locations, descriptions, sprites, cards available, move-sets etc. another section with Trainer info (Gym Leaders, E4) and even a unique Team Builder section where you can make your own teams with Pokemon and design their move-sets and EVs/IVs. It's an awesome app.

### 5/5 — Best app ever tells me about the Pokémon

*2026-07-11, version 1.2.37*

Best app ever because I learn about the Pokémon

### 5/5 — WONDERFUL

*2026-07-10, version 1.2.37*

This app is the best Pokédex app I could find. It would help if you added what Pokémon could use the Z-Moves. It would also be a better experience if you added the Unite Moves, but I know that’s a lot to ask. Great job!

### 5/5 — Best Dex App

*2026-06-27, version 1.2.37*

If I could only rearrange pokemon and teams in the building section it would be PERFECT.
