Ratings and reviews

So far, so good. Only had it for a few days. Haven't come across any crashes like many other users have reviewed. My only REAL gripes so far are: 1. The app takes awhile to log into, but really isn't that long. The issue is that if you leave the app and come back, there's a good chance it has to reconnect. 2. The app eats battery pretty quick. The service itself is pretty great. No microtransactions that I've found and they start you off with a few solid decks you can play ranked with.

I've been using this app pretty consistently for a bit over a year now, and I'd say it's a really great experience! pros: no ads! there is no way to "pay to win" play on PC or phone constant rewards of all kinds the pokemon card game is just fun to play! cons: - app will occasionally hang in a match if something goes wrong on the technical side - app takes a little too long to load - if you leave the app for too long, you'll often need to restart the app. overall great app!

It's the only way to play the Pokémon card game digitally and it succeeds at that. Getting cards to make meta decks is super easy which is a great experience for a card game focused on the play experience. However, the app unfortunately still has quite a few bugs. These range from minor inconveniences to game-breaking ones that can make you lose games on the spot. Should the worst offending bugs be fixed, I would happily raise my rating, but as of now I can't reasonably give more than 3.
