Features:
■ Thorough toothbrushing is the key to catching Pokémon!
Some unlucky Pokémon have been captured by the cavity-causing bacteria inside your mouth! By brushing your teeth, you can defeat these bacteria and save the Pokémon. If you do a great job brushing, you’ll be able to catch the Pokémon you save, too!

Ratings and reviews

This app has become the best thing for my autistic child to be motivated to brush his teeth. He wants to do it now and loves following the illustration showing how to brush and that he saves the Pokémon. We got another app that came with his brush for a specific brand, but he was scared of the germs. Now, with this one, he is not scared because they are Pokémon he is saving. I would recommend it for sure! Only feedback my son has is that it doesn't include the step of brushing his tongue.

Love the idea but sadly the tech just isn't there. :( The camera has a hard time picking me up while I brush my teeth and is very picky about where I am in frame. I end up having to prop the phone up on the counter and then brush my teeth looking down which creates a messy tooth paste foam after a minute and that just sort of.... drips out. A break to spit or a more relaxed system would go pretty far. I think after they tweak this it would go up to a 4 or 5 star but as of right now, it's just not there. Frustrating at best, disappointing at worst. I want this idea to work because it's cute and fun but it's more pain then it's worth right now. Please tweak and update, make it more forgiving with the brushing or improve the detection because either way it's 2 minutes of brushing teeth followed by a big let down because I "didn't brush fast enough" in the last 30 seconds.

The idea behind this app is great, but unfortunately it does not perform well. The toothbrush detection is highly flawed, and has serious trouble detecting that my kids are brushing, even though I'm watching them do it well. This results in them rarely catching Pokémon and getting very frustrated about brushing their teeth, which I'm pretty sure is the opposite of the intended effect. This app has good potential, but the sensitivity and difficulty really need to be fixed.
