Consistent Crashing

I have been using the app since launch. I had encountered an issue in which the app would crash repeatedly when loading after the start screen. If there was a competent customer support team then they were impossible to reach. After repeated emails in which I kept getting the same pre written responses and days of no help they finally acknowledged that the app isn’t compatible with all devices and compatibility isn’t guaranteed. I have an iPhone 13 mini and the latest OS. Finally after days of back and forth with what I can only assume were bots I received no confirmation of there being an issue or that this was something that was going to be resolved or addressed. Highly frustrating experience especially coming from what should be a high quality app.

What where missing

LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE APP
We are Missing A shiny filter on gts
for example if I put in shiny Charizard in gts
i want be able only for a shiny meta cross to be trade not a regular one

nothing to say

is it just me feeling like everything requires premium+++

The GTS trolls are just annoying 🤦‍♀️

Pokemon home is a great app, it’s super reliable and easy to use. I like to use the GTS to be able to get Pokemon but i absolutely despise when I see people looking for illegal Pokemon. For example, I saw someone looking for a Persian (Alolan Form) that is able to go to let’s go Pikachu. Its gets to point where the only offers for the Pokémon your looking for is them asking for either illegal Pokemon or Pokemon that cannot be transferred to the game they are ‘wanting’ to transfer too. I know it’s a way to flex good Pokemon but it just gets in the way of people actually wanting to trade. It would be amazing if it was able to be fixed. Other then that pokemon home is definitely still a 5/5

Better qol

Better filtering and options for shinies too make it easier to find/filter shinies for trading and gts.

Couldn’t be better

This so perfect I just catch a mon and take it to almost all my Pokemon games

Removing key feature Feb 27’

The whole reason I had any use for this app was to take old mons to switch games, and Nintendo has decided break the link of being able to transfer from gen 3 to the switch games.

Disappointed I gave money for a subscription service to one of the most profiting corporations just to be slapped with a notice that their service is no longer supporting key features that it originally had as a selling point.

Not bad, could be better

It’s not without its faults, but I love having the ability to see the Pokemon I have across all of the various games. I wish it was easier to see their National Dex number when moving them around because that’s how I organize all my boxes, but it’s still a decent and cheap app

Pokemon Home to Pokemon Go

I want pokmon from home to go to go

This app is perfect for storing pokemon

This app is so great for keeping all your pokemon secure in one app, so if your device ever breaks your Pokemon in there will be there still. And I love the trading options it makes trading more manageable. The only complaint is how you can’t really do anything with the Pokemon in there, I don’t want anything too advanced but maybe a few Go-styled interactions would make it more charming. But the missions in there are a real pain when some of them specifically ask for a deposit from a certain game, and since Bank is shutting down soon some of the missions that require pokemon from DS games need to be CHANGED! You shouldn’t require a Pokemon from a SPECIFIC game just to get the sticker and decorations, the Pokemon in general is what should get the sticker instead. And also the trading is absolutely terrible. Everyone asks for the same Pokemon it turns one trade for one Pokemon into literal hours of finding a match.

Meltan

Cheers I needed Meltan

Needs to up the total free storage

It’s alright , dont get me wrong, and it’s really useful for meltan. But it’s just I always have to transfer promontory and it’s really annoying. Apart from tbag very useful

Great app! But I would change one thing

So, I love that you can trade for certain pokemon you want in the GBS (global trading system) and of course transfer pokemon between games, but, I wish you could transfer a pokemon to Z-A and then back to, perhaps Violet, but, otherwise it’s an awesome game

Same price, but can hold more Pokémon!

The only reason I gave it four out of five stars is because in my opinion, the resolution of the app is lower than it needs to be. The app should look incredibly sharp.

Genuinely awful

I only use this app for the mystery box in Pokémon go but with the little I have used it I genuinely hate it.

Update

I think it’s under maintenance but it just pops up a Japanese message w a date of 4:00

Pokémon HOME

I love the storaging my shinys. I can move my mons between games. My mons can follow me through games and grow with me. I’ve been using it recently for GO. Very useful if you’re trying to complete the pokédex.

The maintenance is to long

It said by 2:00 but it has been more than an hour

Useful app, performance does not meet the bare minimum

The app itself is serviceable and I have few complaints about its compatibility with other Pokemon games, including Champions.

The key issue is that this app just feels horrible to use. No 60hz or 120hz mode for scrolling through menus and reviewing animations makes this app a genuine slog to use and actively limits my enthusiasm to use the paid version of the software.

An Amazing tool

Pokemon Home has allowed me to put Pokemon from Pokemon Go into Sword and Shield which without this was almost IMPOSSIBLE!!
