And notifications sometimes take too long to read me the IV. Also, it often says “maybe” way too often and can’t decide if it’s a hundo or not. Please fix. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-05-08, version 0.6.4* Works good just a little slow with processing the info ### 4/5 — Really useful *2026-04-08, version 0.6.4* Besides the ads, it’s pretty useful if you’re trying to catch condos, but if you’re trying to quit catch, it’s sort of delayed so it might not be as useful if you’re trying to catch a lot of Pokémon other than those two things great app really useful if you’re trying to catch hundos. ### 2/5 — No notification *2026-04-03, version 0.6.4* Nothing shows up and it doesn’t allow me to screen record with the app because there is no settings it ### 4/5 — Ganz gut *2026-03-31* Also die App gibt schon präzise Antworten die auch stimmen aber mir fehlen die Features, wie zum Beispiel das mir die IV schon beim fangen anzeigt wird. **Developer response:** Hallo, vielen Dank für das positive Feedback! Wir freuen uns über weitere Anregungen. Beste Grüße, -Ihr Smart IV Team (Auto-translated) Hello, thank you for the good feedback! Please let us know if you have any more feedback. Best Regards, -Smart IV Team ### 2/5 — Naming *2026-03-29, version 0.6.4* Really struggling to get the naming to work consistently. This is a big part of how I wanted to use the app. ### 4/5 — Best one yet! *2026-03-12, version 0.6.4* This has got to be the best Smart IV scanner I’ve used, the only reason it’s not a 5 star is the ads every once a while to activate the scanner. But it’s all worth it. And the best part is that it tells you anything if you pull up its info, It can give you a list of chances on what the IV could be, when it’s caught it’ll say the percent near exactly, AND if you pull up the IV from the “appraise” button, it’ll give you the EXACT numbers per stat. I know some people are going to think that I’m only saying this to hype the game, but I’m not, I’ve used it a ton of different times. Note: if you have do not disturb on, or any other sort of notification blocker for this app, it will not work until you turn it off. And yes it DOES give instructions on how to use it upon opening. ### 2/5 — Inaccurate *2026-02-28, version 0.6.4* Before this app was good.. but now twice after a raid the app claimed it was not 100% and when I caught them they were hundos.. not even a maybe 100% ### 4/5 — Fairly good *2026-01-18, version 0.6.4* It is fairly good just it’s usually a bit inaccurate but besides that, 100% recommend! ### 2/5 — 日本語対応してほしい *2025-11-26* 日本語対応してほしい **Developer response:** トレーナー様、フィードバックありがとうございます！デバイスの言語をSmart IVがサポートする言語（イタリア語、フランス語、スペイン語、ドイツ語、韓国語、中国語（繁体字）、日本語、ポルトガル語）に変更すると、アプリは自動的に更新されます。よろしくお願いいたします。 -Smart IVチーム (Auto-translated) Hello Trainer, thanks for your feedback! If you change your device's language to one Smart IV supports (Italian, French, Spanish, German, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, or Portuguese), the app will update automatically. Best Regards, -Smart IV Team ### 3/5 — Stops recording *2025-09-28, version 0.6.2* I love the concept of the app but every time I try to broadcast my screen for it it just says there was an error and I checked all the requirements and they are met. ### 4/5 — Would be 10000/10 if you could see possible 100% pvp iv *2025-07-29, version 0.5.1* Okay so i love this app its amazing but if i could see best pvp ivs for like spawns and stuff if that gets added as a setting you can turn on id be so happy ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Has never worked *2026-07-16, version 0.6.4* This app since downloaded has never worked! Just runs and runs with no results! Delete! ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads and still doesn’t work? *2026-07-13, version 0.6.4* I dunno if I’ve done something wrong but the first time I used it, it worked—it was good, accurate, easy, and convenient. After that first try though, anytime I would TRY and use the scan feature, it would proceed to show me hella long ads that wouldn’t play if the volume wasn’t on. And even after letting those two ads pass, every time I’d click the X after receiving that ‘Reward granted’ by it, it wouldn’t work! I would be stuck on that page with the ad and it wouldn’t go down and let me use the actual tool. I’d had to restart the app to get access to it again after the ad screen of doom and then it would make me watch the ads AGAIN like as if I never earned that access to the free app I downloaded. What the hell! Sigh. ### 1/5 — Junk *2026-06-25, version 0.6.4* Died t work at all ### 1/5 — doesn’t do its job *2026-05-25, version 0.6.4* Im convinced these positive comments are bots lol the app layout is trash and the app doesn’t even work how its intended ### 1/5 — Sucks with IPhone *2026-03-13, version 0.6.4* Worked great with my Samsung. After upgrading to an iPhone it sucks. You can’t just simple click on the Pokémon and then come off it. You have to check your notifications ### 1/5 — Actually a terrible app *2026-01-21, version 0.6.4* Doesn’t work the way it says it’s supposed to.. I’ve followed all instructions and quite disappointed. Uninstalled immediately and will continue to look for another app ### 1/5 — I do not know *2025-11-25, version 0.6.4* Only worked for 1st poke. And only shows not 100%. Then I reset it watched the ads and no more notifications came…… ### 1/5 — Got me banned for 3 days *2025-10-16, version 0.6.3* Bad don’t use unless you ok with getting banned ### 1/5 — Outdated *2025-08-12, version 0.5.1* Straight doesn’t work ### 1/5 — No *2025-07-08, version 0.5.1* Poteva essere utile ma continua a non funzionare ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-06-22, version 0.6.4* Just super duper the greatest for iPhone users ### 5/5 — Smart Iv review *2026-06-20, version 0.6.4* I think it’s really cool. All the Pokémon I’ve caught have fallen within the probabilities so I know when I should try and catch one. Plus is free ### 5/5 — Works great *2026-05-20, version 0.6.4* I don't see the banner but if i slide down notifications i see it Would be nice if they provide explanation like what stardust means under pvp iv and is rank comparing per pokemon or among all pokemons ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-05-17, version 0.6.4* Super handy ### 5/5 — Quick, accurate, & a great tool *2026-03-06, version 0.6.4* Smart IV is a great tool if you’re trying to build up your game! ### 5/5 — Works *2025-10-27, version 0.6.4* To the guy that said the app doesn’t work, Maybe your not well with your eyes since it clearly works for me ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2025-09-09, version 0.6.1* Works great and as intended. Big time saver! ### 5/5 — First time user *2025-07-30, version 0.5.1* This app is everything the developers promise and then some. Never again wast your pokeballs on “duds”! ### 5/5 — Looks great and works *2025-07-21, version 0.5.1* App works as intended, easy to set up. The others who are having difficulties must’ve missed a step somewhere. Love how it looks too, very clean! ### 5/5 — It works as intended *2025-07-14, version 0.5.1* The iv scanner works on pokemon in the storage better then any app I’ve used just wondering will it send me a notification if I encounter a wild 100%/4 star. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
