## Review summary

Overall, users like the app for providing IV calculations and helping avoid wasted poké balls, making it a useful and time-saving IV scanner. However, many reviews highlight recurring drawbacks: inconsistent IV accuracy, reliability issues (crashes and failed readings), intrusive ads, iOS-specific problems, and usability gaps like a clunky interface and weak onboarding. When it works, it’s valuable; but the frequent reliability and UX problems limit its usefulness on iOS.

### Pros

- IV data, probabilities, and per-stat breakdown (appraise-like details) are provided.
- Saves time and helps avoid wasting Poké Balls by guiding which catches are worth pursuing.
- Widely regarded as a useful IV scanner and tool for building up your game.
- Useful for planning high-IV catches (e.g., hundos).

### Cons

- IV readings are often inaccurate or unreliable.
- Reliability issues: crashes, stopping work, and failing to read IVs.
- Ads and activation prompts interrupt usage.
- iOS compatibility problems / performance worse on iPhone.
- Clunky UI and lack of beginner guidance.
