It has had trouble doing that to tapu lele and others. Idk if that’s a Pokémon specific issue, but please fix it soon. ### 4/5 — App dev in Ukraine *2023-02-16, version 1.11.13* The app is great and needs an update. I dug around and learned developer is in Ukraine so that is why app has not been updated in a year. While searching I did see some info from Jan 2023 saying he’s working on an update; so hopefully soon. Typed this Feb 2023. ### 4/5 — Nice *2022-11-29, version 1.11.13* Great app overall, but you need to update it, there are more Pokémon coming to the game ### 2/5 — makes your Pogo life easy. Update: not anymore *2022-09-19, version 1.11.13* I mean it! Update: no app updates the last 9 months, no support for new Pokémon, no new features, super buggy at name changes or raid boss counters. ### 2/5 — Used to be great but lack of updates is a problem *2022-09-04, version 1.11.13* This app used to be great; I used it a lot and purchased the IAP to unlock all the features which was a fair price for the functionality and I was happy. Unfortunately, a lack of updates is meaning that it’s no longer really useful. Notification system to let you know a scan has happened in screen recording mode doesn’t work but worse than that the detection rate has plummeted as changes in Pokémon Go have been made, and it can’t recognise huge swathes of Pokémon now whereas before there were just a few problematic ones. Lack of ability to pick the correct IV set for renaming when it fails to get the detection right remains an issue. Really hope that the developer can find the time to do updates as this was a fantastic accompaniment to Pokémon Go. ### 3/5 — Great! *2022-09-02, version 1.11.13* nice rating "in" Pokémon Go. But where are the updates? ### 3/5 — No New Pokémon *2022-08-28, version 1.11.13* My issue is that the newer Pokémon within the last 8 months aren’t recognized, even though they’re fairly common. At this point, it’s turned me off from the app a bit since it doesn’t seem to work on the Pokémon that are abundant around me. ### 5/5 — very useful *2022-08-09, version 1.11.13* love it ### 5/5 — Great app, best naming system BUT should be updated more regularly. *2022-05-20, version 1.11.13* The last 5 months pokemons are not being detected. ### 2/5 — Major downgrade in recent updates *2022-04-29, version 1.11.13* The interface is decidedly inferior to previous editions. Moving between screens is difficult, the one-touch menu with ⓪-㊵ is gone, and the ability to use sub- and super-script is nowhere to be found. Can we please have the old interface back as an option? ### 2/5 — No Notifications & Difficult System to use *2022-04-01, version 1.11.13* When scanning my Pokémon using Live IV Checker and/or screenshots, I am not getting any notifications banners so I have no idea if it scanned the correct Pokémon. My settings are all correct and checked against your guides but I’ve never been able to get this aspect to work. Additionally, scanning my entire Pokédex is virtually impossible to do with this app as there is no tracking system and when scanning multiple Pokémon, it doesn’t pick up about 60% of them. No matter how much I slow it down it still fails to scan a large portion of them. ### 5/5 — 🏆🏆🏆 *2022-03-27, version 1.11.13* 🥳🏆🏆 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Outdated *2025-08-12, version 1.11.13* Keyboard doesn’t even show up as an option after it’s enabled. Last updated was 3 years ago. ### 1/5 — No updates since 20221 *2024-03-10, version 1.11.13* What a shame! It was an excellent app but the developer has abandoned it. Last update was sometime in 2021. Pokemon released after that date are not available in this app. ### 1/5 — Does not work at all *2023-09-29, version 1.11.13* I added the keyboard in my settings and allowed full permissions and it still only shows the emoji icon at the bottom left of my screen. I hold down the emoji icon and it doesnt show up at all. All my other custom keyboards work fine except this one, and the help section in the app is not helpful at all, very disorganized and lacking proper section headings, like it was put up in a hurry. Very disappointed since it looked promising. ### 1/5 — No updates? Blame war. *2023-09-20, version 1.11.13* I give this app 5 stars, but I wanted this review to be seen by the critics: check the subreddit for more info…the developer paused development on the project because he is Ukrainian and friends/family were going through some really tough times. Maybe withhold review until he gets a chance to pick it back up? ### 1/5 — Decepcionado *2023-04-12, version 1.11.13* La aplicación es buena, pero se ha vuelto inútil debido a la falta de actualizaciones. Es completamente decepcionante en estos momentos. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2022-09-20, version 1.11.13* I purchased the premium upgrade for this app several years ago and as of 2022, the IV checker function for the keyboard no longer works. ### 1/5 — App is trash *2022-06-03, version 1.11.13* Was the best in the App Store for what it did, but hasn’t been updated in over 5 months, so you won’t get IVs for new Pokémon ### 1/5 — so far *2022-02-19, version 1.11.13* the symbols atebt tranferring ### 1/5 — Used to be real good *2022-01-08, version 1.11.13* Used to be a good app, with quick updates. Developer has not updated the screenshot appraisal system after last update over a month ago. Hope this gets fixed. ### 1/5 — Broken *2022-01-03, version 1.11.13* Just wanted to confirm this is indeed broken. In the meantime I’ll be using PokeGenie. Once fixed, I’ll update my review. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — er<> *2025-09-09, version 1.11.13* ^^ ### 5/5 — Hidden gem! *2025-07-03, version 1.11.13* What a great tool for Pokemon go. It helps with trading, pvp, searching, cleaning inventory, and so much more. One day I hope I can import/export shortcuts, that would be a game changer!! ### 5/5 — Best keyboard for PoGo *2024-12-15, version 1.11.13* I hope it will be updated! ### 5/5 — POKEKEYS *2024-08-30, version 1.11.13* Pokekeys are my new fav key customeizer ### 5/5 — Love the app *2024-02-27, version 1.11.13* Easy and convenient! I hope the developer further updates the game data! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Review *2024-02-19, version 1.11.13* I’m gunna keep this short and sweet, this is one of the best apps for search pokemon, putting ivs, naming stuff. ### 5/5 — surprising! *2023-12-03, version 1.11.13* pokeykeys is a free version of the pokegenie keyboard that is in certain ways even better than pokegenie! It comes with flaws, as expected, but is worth downloading! I use it side by side with pokegenie to perfect my poke organizing ### 5/5 — cool *2023-09-25, version 1.11.13* very cool i searched that ### 5/5 — Love it! *2023-02-24, version 1.11.13* Really helps with remote raiding ! ### 5/5 — Superior to PokeGenie *2022-09-23, version 1.11.13* Has more customization, and more options than pokegenie. Far prefer it. Wish it was updated more frequently --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
