## Review summary

Users praise PikaDex for cross‑gen coverage and the value of premium features, with useful battle tools. However, many reports show persistent issues: incomplete/delayed dex updates, especially for DLC/regional forms; frequent crashes and data loss during team building; and unreliable premium unlocks. Inaccurate move data and forms further undermine trust. The app shows strong utility when functioning but needs reliable data updates and solid bug fixes to reach its full potential.

### Pros

- Premium is worth it; users feel unlocking features improves the experience.
- Useful across multiple Pokémon games for building teams across generations.
- Battle assistant and type checker are accurate and helpful.
- Overall the app is helpful for tracking and information across games.

### Cons

- Dex is incomplete and not consistently up-to-date with DLC and regional forms across generations (e.g., missing entries and missing Kalos/older regions).
- App frequently crashes and has stability issues impacting usability.
- Data loss or reset occurs when building/editing teams (moves, EVs, abilities, items) or exiting the screen.
- Premium purchases sometimes don’t apply or upgrades don’t work (repeated issues with unlocking features).
- Some move data and evolutions are inaccurate or outdated (e.g., moves listed incorrectly, wrong form data).
