## What is Pal Pad?

Make, save, and export decks for the Pokemon Trading Card Game! Pal Pad makes it extremely easy to organize all of your decks into one consolidated place, and allows seamless integration with all of your favorite import/export options. Stop typing all of your lists in Google Docs and accidentally bringing a 59 card deck to a cup and step up your deck list game with Pal Pad!

Features:
* FULL-FEATURED DECK EDITOR - Add/remove cards and format will automatically adjust to the cards you have. Cards you add can be filtered to show only the format of your deck, and banned cards are flagged for removal in all deck lists
* FUTURE FORMAT 
* LIMITLESS + PTCGO IMPORT - Import a deck list from Limitless TCG from within the app. Browse Limitless by deck archetype and load the deck you want right into a new deck for saving or exporting. Of course, you can always import a good old fashioned PTCGO list.
* IMAGE + PTCGO + TOURNAMENT EXPORT - Export a deck list through an image to share (only part of the Leaks Package) or through PTCGO list directly in the app. Never has it been easier to share your deck with friends. Or, once you're ready to bring that spice to your local tournament, use the tournament list export feature (also available in Leaks Package) to generate a tournament-ready list you can print out and turn in!

### 1/5 — Buggy Mess

*2022-08-04*

I would’ve been able to live with this app being a bit slow if it weren’t for the fact that it’s just straight up missing cards. This app not only takes an incredibly long time to load most searches, it also has several cards not even listed. It would honestly be easier to open MS Paint and edit together a picture of a deck.

### 2/5 — Has Potential

*2021-11-21*

It has the right idea and could be a good app to use in building and recording decks, but it is painfully slow and doesn’t register any changes you make unless you wait a minute or two. 

If it was made able to run faster it could be quite useful

### 4/5 — Great Base, Needs Minor Improvements

*2020-08-05*

I think this App is the best one of its kind right now, but I do think it meeds some minor improvements. For starters, it needs a better way to delete cards, the help section said to hold to enter edit mode then swipe, but I couldn't get it to work at all. Next, when you make your deck and attempt to view it from section where it lists all your decks, it shows the number of cards in the deck, but won’t show any of the images for cards, but when you click on the “Most Recent” tab of the last deck you edited, it shows your deck with all the cards in it. Finally, the card database in the app doesn’t have all of the more recent Sword and Shield promos (Polteageist V, Pikachu Full-Art) and won’t display the image for certain, older promos (XY Gym Badges), but those are just minor nitpicks due to how frequently new cards are made and how hard it is to keep up with them. Overall, I think this app is great and I hope it improves further down the line.

### 3/5 — Good, but crashes a bit

*2020-02-20*

I got this app to help keep track of my all my decks in the expanded format. I was building a deck and typed “ Virbank City Gym “ into the card search. It pops up the card for a split second then disappears again. If I click it before it closes it crashes the app. I physically can’t put my deck together cause of this glitch. It doesn’t for other cards too, not just Virbank. It’s a cool tool to have, but it’s far to buggy to be taken too seriously. Plus the frequent crashes make me loose the work adding them in. If they fix those bugs I’ll happily download again.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2020-01-12*

The app will build and save a list but if you try to export the list for a tournament it crashes. I like the visual card selection but the interface is less than intuitive. Could certainly use more polish.

**Developer response:** I’m sorry about your experience! Bugs and user experience are constantly being refined over future app updates! As for specific crashes, please don’t hesitate to contact me over email with specifics and I’ll be sure to fix it as soon as possible!

### 5/5 — Must have app!

*2020-01-08*

There is finally a deck building app for ios. This is a clean, light, and easy to use app that makes making lists on the go soooo much easier. Im looking forward to all the future features planned that have been teased by the dev!
