Le but du jeu ? Se brosser les dents pour purifier les Pokémon (qui sont trop choupinous). À la fin dents ton brossage, tu peux les capturer ### 4/5 — Pokémon smile *2026-07-12, version 2.0.12* It’s a good app but I put the language to English but it turned it into Japanese without setting it to that. Is there a way to change that cuz I can’t read Japanese. ### 4/5 — Great, but the photos are annoying *2026-07-06, version 2.0.12* Whenever I press the Save button on the app, I get too many Pokémon Smile photos in the Photos app and would want to try and download a cleanup app. ### 3/5 — Bien mais bug *2026-06-29, version 2.0.12* J’avais utilisé l’appli il y a quelques années et les enfants adoraient. On a recommencé il y a 3j et depuis hier il n’y a plus de son :/ ### 4/5 — Sound error *2026-06-28, version 2.0.12* Sound only plays when headphone is connected. Not sure how to fix ### 5/5 — 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 *2026-06-22, version 2.0.12* Me gusto la verdad ### 5/5 — 磨いてくれました。 *2026-06-20, version 2.0.12* こんにちは。(もしくはこんばんは！)鶴夢妓と申します。私には、3人の子供がいます。長男、長女、次女、みんな、ポケモンが、好きで、歯磨きは🪥嫌いな方でした。ですが、テレビ📺で、ポケモンスマイルを見つけ、試してみると、毎日のように磨いて、楽しくなっていました。私も、嬉しかったですね。ですが…毎日3人でいっせいに磨くので、喧嘩になって🤛🏻🤜🏻少々大変です🌀。 でも、毎日交代で順にやってくれてよかったです。 こうなりました。 月曜日　長男長女次女　火曜日　長女次女長男　水曜日　次女長男長女を毎回繰り返してます。そんなみんなを見ていると親も嬉しくなります。無理せず、頑張って欲しいですね。 ### 5/5 — Great app for distractable kids *2026-06-14, version 2.0.12* Have used this app with both of my children and it has really helped to improve their brushing. Keeps them focussed and motivates them to do a good job. My boys are autistic with ADHD and we’ve found Pokémon smile a real game changer. ### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER *2026-06-12, version 2.0.12* This app actually helps me brush my teeth. It’s so fun catching the Pokémon and being able to view them. The hats are awesome and have some cool effects. I would recommend using this app to brush your teeth ### 5/5 — Honest Review pls trust me *2026-06-11, version 2.0.12* I have ADHD and a very very small amount of autism. I roll around and get distracted and don’t brush my teeth at all. When I actually do it’s only for 30 or 45 seconds. I got this app hoping it would help me not get another cavity. I tried this once and boom I brushed for 2 full minutes. I’m very excited and for the first time in my entire life I am looking forward to doing it again. I also love it shows you where to brush in your mouth and a Pokémon fighting bacteria with it’s cute little moves! Thank u so much developers! ### 5/5 — 귀차니즘 12년 인생인데 *2026-06-11* 12살 먹도록 지금까지 귀차니즘에서 벗어난적이 한번도 없슴 그래서 늘 양치도 ㅇ ㅏ 귀찮아 하면서 했는데 이 앱 덕분에 양치 동기부여도 되고 너무 좋아요! 근데 다만 양치할때 쓰는 포켓몬캡의 포켓몬 종류가 너무 ..적어요ㅜ 그리고 이미 2세대(?)포켓몬은 다 잡았는데 3세대도 추가해주시면 안될까예 뭐 그래도 현질 게임도 아니고 양치 유도도 해주고 제 동생도 이걸로 열심히 양치하는데다 렉걸리거나 튕기는것도 잘 없고 발열도 딱히 많이 없고 만족도 짱이에요!!이건 별 5개 못참지⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — I love it!!! *2026-06-08, version 2.0.12* I am 10 years old but I still really enjoy it. My teeth are getting better and better every day! I would strongly recommend this app to everyone!!! ### 4/5 — Please add more pokemon *2026-06-06, version 2.0.12* I love this app, it helps so much with my hygiene, but I was disappointed to learn that only gen 1 and 2 Pokemon are available and it hasn’t been updated in four years. Please add the rest of the gens!!! So many of my favorite Pokemon are from later gens and i want to see them in this adorable art style. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t catch Pokémon *2026-07-06, version 2.0.12* Errr I brush properly but it doesn’t capture my brushing ### 1/5 — This made me so made *2026-06-15, version 2.0.12* This app made me rage I was about to switch my account and went to the credentials and clicked on create credentials then for some reason it restarted the whole thing so I could not use my account the was already in the johto regin and I have been doing this for around a year and then because of some dumb glitch I reset.

I recommend 100%! The best app for 7 year olds who love Pokémon ### 5/5 — My kids are growing up with this! *2026-08-10, version 2.0.12* “Want to catch a pokemon?” This is what I ask my 2 and 4-yr olds when it’s bedtime. The answer is almost always yes, but I just learned only the first two generations of Pokemon are on the app! My oldest just caught the last of the 2nd generation yesterday! Please add more! ### 5/5 — Pokémon of newer generations *2026-08-09, version 2.0.12* I really enjoy this game. Helps keeps the cavities away. Additionally, you can even create your own wallpapers. I’m hoping this game will add more Pokemon from gen three and beyond. ### 5/5 — Brilliant and fun *2026-07-30, version 2.0.12* The only thing that’s managed to get my autistic child to brush his teeth.

Please optimize the app for iPads too. I know this is a lot to ask for but like when I have to constantly pick up my iPad and put it on the mirror It’s just so frustrating. I love the app but I would love it more if it was made for iPads too!🦷🪥 ### 5/5 — Super *2026-07-15, version 2.0.12* Gram i jest super ale jest mało pokemonów --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
