Ketchup for Poké

This is a great app, it makes for the perfect companion while playing any Pokemon game. The UI design is beautiful too, by far the best app I’ve seen when it comes to a Pokédex. One suggestion I have is in regard to the type matchup selector. I do like the wheel selector design, however I do wish I could swipe anywhere on the left or right half of the screen to begin scrolling through the wheel. Right now, I have to begin scrolling by dragging on the type icon itself, and then I can move my thumb down to scroll from a more natural position. It would be nice if a swipe on any position on the left/right of the screen brought up the wheel selector. Also, more just for me, but a “Pokemon of the Day” widget would be so neat. A previous app I used had a Home Screen widget feature that presented a different Pokemon from the Dex every day, but it’s no longer on the App Store. This app seems like the perfect fit for that type of widget!

I'm very pleased with my experience using the app as it gets rid of the bloat you find with other sources for pokemon data. A lot of the time I am just grabbing quick reminders on evolution or moves based on level up and this app gets straight to the point without navigating through multiple windows or scrolling indefinitely which is well worth paying for Ketchup+ to get all the gens. I was thrilled to see the developer responding to reviews and indicating future plans so I am excited to see where this app will go in the future.

I’ve used several Pokemon apps over the years and this one is, by far, the best yet. It’s exceptionally designed and incredibly easy to use. Around every corner is another layer of depth of information and detail, yet none of it feels overwhelming, confusing, or cumbersome. Navigating Ketchup is a breeze. From the font to the images to the colors - it’s very inviting. It’s pleasantly nostalgic to explore and rediscover so much Pokemon lore I’ve enjoyed over the years. At first I was a bit turned off by the optional fee to upgrade for the rest of the dex, but honestly, I believe it’s worth it. Also, it’s important to support the devs! Especially one like this who has been so active and engaging on Twitter when he launched the app! I don’t think I’ll need another Pokemon app ever again. It’s about time there was one place for me to go to find all of this information. GameFreak, take notes!!
