Ratings and reviews

This app needs serious work before I'll give it anything more than 1 star. Consistent dropped games, client freezes, and more makes playing ranked an absolute nightmare on here. 1 win away before ranking into the next league? Sorry, you've actually been demoted down a rank from 6 consecutive match disconnects or freezes in a row. Better luck next time!

1. Sometimes I'll start a battle, and while waiting for my opponent, the game will say that I lost, because I conceded, but I didn't. 2. I should be able to switch around my basic pokemon during initial set up, before pressing 'Done', in case I dragged the wrong one to the active spot at the beginning of the battle. 3. When I'm using an ability, if I take too long to start using ability after selecting it, the card will stay stuck in Animation and not usable, but still take space on bench.

When the game works, it's great. On PC I have never had any issues. I cannot in good faith give this a higher rated review do the how common is to have the app either just freeze on me or show my opponent's time ticking down forever. I would say at least one in five of my games have an issue like this which forces a restart. The game seemingly has a reconnection feature as I've experienced it when going in or out of Wi-Fi, but if you restart you get no such free connection. It's frustrating.
