Keyboard is the best feature – PokeRater Review

Overall, kudos to the developer for a well made app that looks pretty sleek too. It will even auto-import in the free ads version, unlike another popular IV checker currently in the App Store. The iOS keyboard integration is truly the best feature of this app. I can now input special symbols, copy & paste text, and edit within the name. That said, I wish we could drag and drop our favorite symbols because I want them in a certain order. I’ve had to redo the whole list several times already (twice because I accidentally tapped on a symbol and it got removed). That was such a pain. Also, a few symbols don’t work and showed up as boxed question marks. There is also a minor, yet inconvenient, issue with the keyboard when there’s a “?” in the name. I would definitely consider the paid subscription once the name generator is more customizable. The IV checker is not that much faster than inputting the info yourself into a browser-based IV calculator, but can’t blame the app since it doesn’t have direct access to Pokémon appraisal. There are also several minor bugs throughout the app, but they are manageable and the dev is quick with updates. More importantly, I disagree with the calculation of the defensive rating half of the time. I think the algorithm needs improvement. Blissey’s best defensive set should be zen headbutt and dazzling gleam.
