### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2026-04-29*

Really easy to use and straightforward. Definitely a necessity when playing Pokémon.

### 5/5 — Good

Good

### 5/5 — Boom

*2022-08-18*

Exactly what I wanted.

### 4/5 — Fulfills Purpose

*2020-10-09*

This app’s simple design allows for quick and discernible type matchups. 

My only desire is that there would be an option to toggle the priority sorting so that Types stay in assigned locations rather be sorted by multipliers.

Thank you for your programming!

### 3/5 — 倍率

はなにを意味してるの？
青赤の表示が逆転してますよね

### 3/5 — iPadに対応してくれると最高

子供がiPadで使っていてSlide OverとSplit Viewに対応してると最高です。
そうしたらSafariで開いて、相性を同じ画面で調べられるので。

**Developer response:** Thank you :)

### 4/5 — Great app but 2 change needed

*2019-11-10*

Love this app, it’s super useful. 1 recommended change would be if you could highlight the effectiveness numbers to make them stand out. So for example, if it’s x2 super effective it should be highlighted green, and on the opposite scale, if it was ineffective it should be highlighted red.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the feedback. There is an update with your suggestion on the way, I hope you will enjoy it 👍
