What's New in Skydex

2.8.1

September 27, 2026

Made for iOS 27. Welcome to Hoenn! NEW FOR IOS 27 • A bigger view of your day: Day Ahead adds a new extra-large portrait Home Screen widget, with more room for hourly weather, the coming days, and Pokémon you could discover, all in your Skydex theme. • Siri voice commands: Get weather, hear your latest encounter, check Dex progress, or launch Name That Pokémon. For example: “Siri, check my progress in Skydex.” • Additional iOS 27 integration: Pokémon entries and Dex search are exposed through Apple’s Siri and Apple Intelligence integration. NEW FOR EVERYONE • 135 new Pokémon to discover: Explore Hoenn, bringing Skydex to 386 Pokémon. Track your progress across Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn, and watch Castform change appearance with the weather. • Meet Day Ahead: See your weather, the hours ahead, and Pokémon you could discover in a new large Home Screen widget that fits your Skydex theme. The large layout is available on iOS 26 and iOS 27. • Name That Pokémon and challenge a friend: Who’s That Cry is now Name That Pokémon! Recognize Pokémon by their cries, test yourself with Hoenn favorites, and share your streak with cards made for posts and stories. Can your friends beat your score? • Skydex, a shortcut away: Check the weather, see your Dex progress, and jump into Name That Pokémon from Shortcuts. Find Pokémon through Spotlight and open their Dex entries directly. FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS • Easier location browsing: Reorder saved places, see search results right below the search field, and get clearer guidance when a search fails or finds no results. Switching cities quickly now keeps the weather matched to your latest selection. • A smoother quiz and sharing experience: Interruptions no longer cost an earned streak, audio stops when you leave, and saving a streak card keeps its preview open so you can share again. • More reliable widgets: Improved encounter freshness, weather icons, and backgrounds across supported languages. • Polish throughout Skydex: Refined Liquid Glass controls, clearer selected labels in bright themes, improved iPad layouts, and better support for larger text.

Encounter Sprite in Notifications

Hi, I was just wondering if it’s possible to instead of having the app icon be the icon for a new encounter or a shiny encounter notification you instead have the new encounter or shiny encounter sprite used in the app be what is shown on the left side of the notification

Response from developer

Hello! That’s a fun idea, though it requires iOS Communication Notifications designed for incoming calls and messages, so it’s not quite the appropriate API to utilize for Skydex. However, I’ll see what workarounds we can come up with. Stay tuned!

I absolutely LOVE the app but…

First of all, I’m in love with this app. I have it on my iPhone as a widget, it’s on my lock screen, and it’s on my Apple Watch. It’s awesome!

But I only have ONE issue. I can’t hear the Pokémon sounds if my iPhone is on silent. I keep my iPhone on silent all the time. It has no effect on the sounds of other apps like YouTube or TikTok. But the sounds on this app won’t work unless I take my iPhone out of silent mode. That’s a bummer.
Also I’d love it if we could hear the Pokémon sounds on the Apple Watch.

Anyways, I’m loving this app and I got two of my coworkers to download it too. I even paid for the ad-free version.

Thank you for this amazing app!
Four stars because I love it. I’d give it five if it were not for the sound issue.

Thanks for your review, I’m so glad you are loving Skydex! And thanks for the sound suggestion. I’ll implement this as an app setting in the next release. ✌️

Almost perfect!

Absolutely love this app. So cute and informative! I pay the 7.99 and love seeing all the Pokémon! Only complaint is not hearing or getting a sound for my notifications (I checked all my settings so it’s not that). I get the notification for Pokémon nearby, but since I don’t get the sound, I miss them every time! Would love a fix or new implementation for different audio pings for nearby Pokémon! :) amazing app again!

Hi and thanks for your review! So glad you're enjoying Skydex! 🙌 If you wouldn't mind emailing support@raktech.app we would love to help you troubleshoot the sound issue.

not fun anymore

it was fun when it was just 151. plus, it was fun when the widget background wasn’t just black. oh well. back to the regular weather app

Response from developer

Hello, thanks for trying my app. If you want only 151 to appear, you can configure this in settings. Also, the widgets are black when your phone system settings are set to dark. Seems you should be able to get it working just the way you want!
