This needs to be updated/debugged by the creator. I’ve been dealing with this issue for the past 4 months at least. Every time I try to upload a Pokémon screenshot, it does one of two things: pops up saying it cannot read the photo at all, or it reads it (partly) then asks me to confirm the CP, so I do, but then it just keeps popping back up on loop. It does not accept the CP info(even though correct) & just continues to glitch & pop back up asking for the CP. Please fix it! Thanks ### 1/5 — No updated, no support, nada *2021-08-31, version 10.4.0* Ummmmm…. Hello? Hello!!!! This used to be a great app and the Pokédex was great (not to mention all the other cool features). Then, one day, crickets. Radio silence. No Dear John letter. Nothing. The developers just ghosted us. Come on, y’all. You owe us more than that! What happened? Where are you? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for over lvl 40 *2021-08-08, version 10.4.0* Neither works for Pokemon over lvl 40, nor can you set your trainer level over lvl 40. Useless beyond lvl 40, and useless for Pokemon released in the game within the last year or so. ### 3/5 — iPhone 11 Pro support is missing *2021-08-04, version 10.4.0* either i made a mistake or iPhone 11 Pro support is missing, since i made like 20 screenshots and non of them worked with this app. ### 2/5 — Used to be a great app *2021-07-30, version 10.4.0* But lately it doesn’t seem to recognise any screenshots (shiny or XL candie) which means there’s no point paying the 79p subscription for the best feature which is the keyboard / renaming. ### 1/5 — Abandoned-ware *2021-05-29, version 10.4.0* Sadly this once great app has apparently been abandoned. If you are above level 40 it doesn’t even work because it can’t make sense of the numbers and... well, it no longer works. The one star is because (I have no choice but to give it one star minimum and...) the keyboard is still neat and it gives you access to a European Metric Ton of characters that very few other keyboards provide. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t recognise Galarian Pokémon *2021-04-12, version 10.4.0* Unable to determine different types of the same Pokémon. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to be supported anymore *2021-04-10, version 10.4.0* Highest trainer level available is 40. Cannot recognize scans of a maxed out Mewtwo, etc. Doesn’t seem to have been updated in 2 years =\ ### 3/5 — App needs an update for lvl 41+ *2021-03-11, version 10.4.0* Still waiting ### 4/5 — Needs more context menus and/or pop-ups where information can be inputted! *2021-02-05, version 10.4.0* Very nice advanced concept: developer should be proud and keep updating: Snow Darumaka is missing ;-) ### 1/5 — Essentially worthless to me *2021-01-07, version 10.4.0* It didn’t identify the majority of my screenshots, including most of my main attackers. There’s an option to send an email, but no easy option to manually enter a mon. I wish Pokebattler would collab with PokéGenie instead, which is a superior app. I was going to give it two stars because technically they recognized about 15 useful screenshots and some of the data was informative, but the fact that it started crashing to the point that it was unusable means I can’t, in good conscience, give it more than a 1/5. An app that doesn’t let you use it for more than five minutes can’t be properly reviewed. ### 3/5 — Version is old. *2020-12-24, version 10.4.0* Update please.Add new pokemons to list. ### 3/5 — How often do devs check error reports??? *2020-12-14, version 10.4.0* Rated 1 Pokémon successfully, after that, literally every single screenshot I send gets an error message.. I’ve updated all my info and tried multiple screenshots of the same Pokémon. Keep getting the same error message about sending the original screenshot size and I am not even editing it. Like I said first time it worked perfect, every single time after I get an error.. ### 3/5 — Needs update *2020-12-07, version 10.4.0* Please add support for new Pokémon & shadow Pokémon :( Otherwise the app is great ### 2/5 — Delete and Start over *2020-12-03, version 10.4.0* I’m trying to figure out how to delete my Pokémon, or is this more a Pokédex than anything? ### 3/5 — Great app BUT.... *2020-11-22, version 10.4.0* Love the app, it’s easy to screenshot, switch apps, and copy/paste the shortcut that I picked how to be arranged. BUT WHY DO I HAVE TO RESTORE MY PURCHASES MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY?! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Inop *2023-06-13, version 10.4.0* Too bad, it would have been handy. ### 1/5 — False iv reader *2022-10-08, version 10.4.0* This app is trash and does nothing. Every time you screenshot and input it asks to send to developer. Useless app and waste of time do not download! ### 1/5 — Unable to select level above 40 *2022-07-17, version 10.4.0* Does not let me select my trainer level above level 40 ### 1/5 — Not working *2022-07-10* Doesnt recognise pokemon. Useless app :( ### 1/5 — Abandonware *2022-02-26, version 10.4.0* As others have said, this hasn’t been updated in a couple years - it doesn’t recognize a number of current Pokémon and functionality/IAPs are drifting towards broken. The app is really cool when it works, though. Hopefully the developer returns or pulls the app. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2022-01-23, version 10.4.0* As everyone else said, no longer works. Doesn't recognize a single screenshot, so I'll have to give it a 1 star. Can't have non-functional applications on the app store ### 1/5 — It doesn’t seem to work well can’t get all my Pokémon loaded *2022-01-23, version 10.4.0* I am disappointed. ### 1/5 — Way behind on updates!! *2022-01-16, version 10.4.0* I like the fact that paying for the app is truly voluntary. Seriously behind in updates! Trainer is still maxed at 40. Have yet to add new move sets. The developer has “take your money and run.” It is sad too, I really liked this app. ### 1/5 — Out of date *2022-01-10, version 10.4.0* The app is completely outdated and has no real function anymore. Importing any pokemon doesn’t work. The only thing it is “useful” for is the keyboard. ### 1/5 — Only until Trainerlevel 40 *2021-09-14* Not more ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Is this abandoware now? *2026-04-25, version 10.4.0* It's still lvl capped at 40 ### 5/5 — Not working anymore *2021-11-15, version 10.4.0* Just like reviews said, dev hasn’t updated this app for over a year. If dev kept up to date, it would’ve been a very helpful app that’s why I gave it 5 stars. 5 for the app & 5 for the potential. Move along people, check back from time to time ### 5/5 — Atualização *2021-03-21, version 10.4.0* Tem previsão de quando vai sair atualiza? ### 5/5 — Still helpful *2020-05-03, version 10.4.0* Still like to use it to find the best attack set. ### 5/5 — New version? *2020-04-23, version 10.4.0* Last update was ages ago. Doesn’t have latest moves. Would like the power chart for latest pokemon and moves. ### 5/5 — Sehr gute App *2019-12-15* Und die Tastatur ist auch spitze! ### 5/5 — 起動できない *2019-12-01, version 10.4.0* 欠かせないアプリなのに、バージョンアップ後、iPhone8で起動しても何も表示されなくなってしまった。 ### 5/5 — Отличное приложение! *2019-11-18, version 10.2.1* Очень удобное и функциональное. Пробовал разные, это пока что фаворит! ### 5/5 — Love the keyboard *2019-09-30, version 10.2.1* I love the keyboard, love using it to rename Pokémon with symbols. Quick and easy to use ### 5/5 — Best helper for Pokemon GO *2019-08-27, version 10.0.0* Very useful app with such friendly interface and user control. Thanks for the effort and speed or new updates!
