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).

love it.
2026-05-25	Ah*****	not as good as the other IV apps that display live. if you are tagging and sorting a bunch of catches this might take a while vs others. it's easy to use and gives accurate enough data though, worth a try to see if it's right for you

2026-05-16	La*****	very helpful especially if you don't catch the pokemon you don't feel as bad because you already know it wasn't a hundo

2026-04-04	Ir*****	I really wish i could give this app 0 out of 100. not joking. I seriously hate this app ! Firstly, it's completely fake. it only shows wrong stats for example, i opened Eevee neither it was nundo nor a hundo, but still this stupid app said it's maybe a 100% so I checked the appraisal and it was something completely different. Do not install this app!! it has never told me perfectly, never! infact, it's asking me to show it the appraisal of my pokemon to get the accurate stats, what's the point?

2026-03-05	Ch*****	A few things. 1: This app does violate Niantics TOS so you may get banned 2: The app isn't even accurate, like borderline a scam of an app. I appraise a pokemon, the game itself tells me it's a 100 perfect IV, I then use the Smart IV overlay and it tells me it's a 70. So yea no positives here. If I could give this 0 stars I would.
