## Review summary

Users praise the ease of use and the IV-check overlay, but report major downsides: intrusive ads, inconsistent IV readings, overlay reliability issues (disappearing UI/slow scans), non-functional UI controls, and a real risk of account bans due to Niantic's TOS.

### Pros

- Easy to use and intuitive UI.
- Screen-overlay IV scanner that shows IVs without switching apps.
- Helps identify perfect IVs quickly.
- Useful for evaluating IVs in the wild.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads and long ad sequences that disrupt usage.
- IV accuracy is inconsistent / unreliable (some mismatches between app readings and in-game results).
- Overlay can disappear or fail to stay on screen / readings can be unreadable in some conditions.
- UI controls/recognition features sometimes don't work (e.g., edit button doesn't work).
- Potential ban risk due to Niantic's TOS (app may get you banned).
