### 4/5 — Great App, One Issue

*2022-09-25, version 2.5.31*

I’ll admit I don’t play Pokémon Go and really only use this app for the Pokémon of the day widget. However, it seems like more often than not the Pokémon sprite won’t be displayed on the widget. It seems like it happens most of the time, I’d say it appears correctly once a week or less. The name, stats, and Pokédex entry text all appear, but the sprite never seems to show up. This has been happening for a while, so if it could be fixed I’d be very happy about it!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2022-02-16, version 2.5.24*

I used to use this helpful app years ago; I’m getting back into Pokémon Go again, and decided to give it another shot. I saw that it had completely changed, but didn't think much of it at the time. Paid for the Pro upgrade, when I saw the Pro features. However, I immediately regret paying for it. This app isn’t what it used to be. 

 1.) Upon clicking on the notification "Receive notifications when new Raid Bosses are available to battle," the app immediately crashes. Tried closing out & reopening the app; still crashes. Cool. 

 2.) Tried a number of times to 'scan' and add Pokemon from Pokemon Go to the app; never worked. Cool. 

 3.) All I wanted was to manually add Pokemon to a list; as far as I can tell, there are 0 ways of doing this. Cool. 

 I will be requesting a refund, and deleting this app.

### 5/5 — Please fix the app

*2022-01-09, version 2.5.23*

Fix the scan beta I regret buying the upgrade when I contacted y’all several times about the beta scan and y’all ain’t done nothing about it I hope nobody upgrades till it’s fixed cause their ain’t no other reason to upgrade

### 2/5 — Not sure how this works

*2022-01-02, version 2.5.23*

I dl the app based off of it proclaiming no screen shots for iv when i go to my go app it does nothing but a drop down notification even after i paid for a subscription thinking maybe that was the issue. Other than that poke  genie does everything this does minus the raid info and what not but again I dont dislike the app but it doesn’t do as it was advertised far as the calculations on pokemon in game

### 3/5 — Pro features not working

*2021-12-29, version 2.5.23*

I can’t seem to get some of the pro features to work correctly with this app. The in game scan doesn’t work most of the time now. When it does it’s random and it takes forever to load anything back to me. It also won’t accept, or recognize, many of the pictures I have to scan and import because the in game scanner won’t work. For example, I can’t get Hoopa (unbound); Xerneas; Alolan Vulpix; or Galarian Mr. Mime to scan in at all. Please advise and thank you for your help.

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2021-12-06, version 2.5.22*

Took me a little exploring to figure out the UI in some areas, and some of that could still use a little tweaking imo, but there are some really nice features here, especially if you’re into kinky stuff like optimizing IVs for play in low-CP leagues. Once you’ve scanned in the base form, you can see how the IVs will stack up for the evolved forms as well which is really nice.

There are a few of the features from Go Field Guide that I’d like to see here, and the search in the Pokédex needs work (randomly reverts to displaying everything instead of filtering by what I’m typing sometimes), but I didn’t hesitate to chip in a subscription for what these guys are building.

### 5/5 — Pokemon go

*2021-11-03, version 2.5.22*

This game is really fun and I hope you can add some new Pokémon if there is some new Pokémon so please add some new Pokémon stories because all the Pokémon you make looks really cool and I think you can make some better animations with the Pokémon when you click on them keep it up and please make it easier to find legendary’s I really wanna find one I saw guarantee no one’s in my friends had Garrett Tina’s so they want to battle it and I didn’t catch it so please if I can find a guarantee know that will really help me

### 3/5 — It's a great game for Pokémon Go but

*2021-09-01, version 2.5.16*

It needs to be updated or something so the issues are fixed. It just randomly closes out all the time now And won't let me upload Pokémon pics almost all of the time.  Plus, I don't like that you can't log in with your Pokémon account so you can save & sync your progress.

### 4/5 — Good but needs fixes

*2021-08-11, version 2.5.13*

It’s a pretty good app it shows shinys, info and Pokémon but does have some problems with scanning with final evolutions and some not, such as, starmie,victreebel,kingler, hypno, those are some of the ones that I tried and didn’t worked, they mostly make the scanner think their their prior evolution

### 4/5 — Just 2 Fixes and I Would Buy…

*2021-07-30, version 2.5.13*

1. Scanning Pokémon. 2 Wild Scan (Beta). I want to buy this app so bad but can’t until these two things are fixed. The first just doesn’t work well enough. I cannot figure out how to get both the attacks and the iv in the same scan. There needs to be system so that two duplicate scans merge or something. Poke genie can tell me everything from just scanning without the appraisal most of the time. I know the second fix, Wild Scan, is in beta but it could absolutely change gameplay for iPhone forever. I would love it. It’s just not helpful as is right now since most of the time it give you a huge range of what the iv could be and doesn’t scan the color of the ring around the Pokémon. Lastly I will say the main reason I like this app is that it’s super pretty and user friendly. The fact that they’re trying to implement scan Pokémon at catch phase is golden. I literally can’t wait.
