App Profile: ShinyHunt: Shiny Counter

The app has a great framework and works perfectly for tracking live shiny hunts and for archiving those hunts. Will there ever be a global list where we can see how many other people have caught each type of shiny? Could be cool to see what ends up being rare and common. I think the app has a huge potential to be more of a one stop shop for all Pokémon collecting as well: -Have a list for shiny’s -Have a list for a normal living dex -Have a list for competitively trained -Have a list for variant forms (such as gender, color, gmax, etc) It would also be nice to be able to sort/filter by game. The list of shiny’s in Quest should be able to be separated from the mainline games or GO. Lastly, it says in multiple places that there are links in the app to provide feedback, but I was unable to find them anywhere. Extremely well made, and would love to see it expand!

The layout is a bit confusing at first but useful once you’re used to it. My only complaint is I would like to be able to change the background on my hunts. If there’s a way to do this I haven’t found the opinion at all, referring back to the confusing layout. The current background is really dark, based on BDSH aesthetic, and cuts off my counter once I reach 5 digits. Makes it hard to see and kind of irritating. On the website version it does not have this cut off numbers problem and my hunts have a simple blue background, likely based on Legends Arceus aesthetic. I wish I could have that on mobile.

I will preference again that the app is fantastic. However, and I could be missing it, I don’t not see any way to enter a large collection of shines. I’ve been hunting shiny Pokémon since X&Y and have amassed a large collection over many years. In order for me to enter my entire collection I would need to input them one at a time which will take way too long. Most of the information input is cool, but over that long course of time I’ve forgotten where most of them came from. If this feature was made optional and not required to enter in a Pokémon then that would be the much better.
