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! ### 1/5 — not fun anymore *2026-06-20, version 2.6* 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 ### 5/5 — I’m so glad I downloaded *2026-06-20, version 2.6* As a Pokemon fan fine Gen 1, this has been such a great app. Works just as well as the Apple weather. My only suggestion would be move the cog wheel for settings to the upper right of the main screen and hope that a radar can be added :) ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2026-06-11, version 1.6.2* Very cute app. Love the widget. My one gripe is: When adding friends, the app automatically defaults to showing your location. I think that should be “dex only” and allow you to share location if you decide to do so, for privacy purposes. ### 5/5 — Love This App *2026-06-09, version 1.6.2* I love the app! Plain and simple. The developer constantly updates it and makes it better ### 4/5 — Weather App *2026-06-06, version 1.6* Cool weather app but I just wish we get the option to change the mph to kph for the none USA users it would be awesome. Please have the option on the next app update, thanks! ### 5/5 — Notifications *2026-06-04, version 1.6* Is there a way to choose the data source permanently? I want to switch back to the Apple Weather source because the new weatherapi source is always 6-8 degrees higher than what shows in the default iOS weather app Update: Thank you for adding notifications! I’ve been loving having that feature. I was now wondering if it’s possible/ok for you to combine the two loading screens for the app into one? The first being the developer name and second the Skydex loading screen? No big deal if not but it would make for a more seamless experience only having one loading page. Have you thought about adding the ability for the app to send notifications every time a new encounter is discovered? ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-01, version 1.5.5* Love the app, a little more pokemon and animations would be amazing ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2026-05-24, version 1.5.4* This is our go to app for weather now! And Pokémon! ;) ### 5/5 — Notifications *2026-05-20* Update: Thank you for adding notifications! I’ve been loving having that feature. I was now wondering if it’s possible/ok for you to combine the two loading screens for the app into one? The first being the developer name and second the Skydex loading screen? No big deal if not but it would make for a more seamless experience only having one loading page. Have you thought about adding the ability for the app to send notifications every time a new encounter is discovered? **Developer response:** Notifications for new discoveries are now available.
