DexFold is a talking Dex designed for foldable iPhones, and it works on every iPhone. UNFOLD IT Closed, the outer screen becomes the red lid, with the big blue lens drawn right around your camera. Unfold your iPhone and the Dex powers on across both screens: the sprite screen on one half, the keypad and description on the other, split exactly at the fold. A robot voice reads every entry while the blue lens flashes with each word. FOLD IT HALFWAY Fold your iPhone partway and a data screen sweeps open: base stats, abilities, moves, evolutions and how each one happens, type matchups, and where to find it. Open it flat to go back to the keypad. SCAN IT Tap the blue lens and point your iPhone at a toy, a drawing or a picture. DexFold recognizes the creature and opens its entry, entirely on your iPhone: camera images are never saved or sent. PLAY ALONG • Track your catches in each game's regional Dex: 37 regional Dexes • Earn a trophy, with its own pixel-art region badge, for every Dex you complete • Build a team of six and see its shared weaknesses and resistances • Guess the silhouette in the quiz and keep your streak going BUILT IN • All 1,025 entries are in the app, so it works offline • English, Spanish and Italian, including the voice • Metric or imperial units • No ads, no accounts, no tracking ON ANY IPHONE Tap the lid to flip it open, and both halves fit on one screen. Turn your iPhone sideways to see them side by side, and tap the description for the data screen. DEXFOLD PLUS (OPTIONAL, ONE-TIME PURCHASE) Catch tracking and trophies, favorites and a team, where to find each one, seven case colors, the Clear and Robot voices, and iCloud sync, all for one payment with no subscription.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DexFold at 100% against Pokopedia's 53%. DexFold also leads on ads (none vs shown). Pokopedia's advantage is ratings volume (703 vs 7) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Pokopedia sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and DexFold sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pokopedia holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pokopedia has 703 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Pokopedia's written reviews are positive against 100% of DexFold's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pokopedia ships an update weekly, DexFold every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
