The concept is cool and the yearly fee is low. However, this app in practice is pretty terrible, and it's clear at this point they have no intention of fixing the issues that make using the trading functions frustrating and nearly impossible at this point. The graphics are very dated and the load times are slow compared to modern apps. It's time for an overhaul or to take out the yearly fee. Tbh if they had programmed the new games to support all pokemon, I wouldn't be bothering with home.

Not bad but not great. They're charging a lot of money for features that were stripped from the most recent games to begin with. Furthermore, the Pokemon Home app and the Switch version are different, leading to very clunky interactions. Some improvements are also needed, particularly relating to the slow speed of the Wonder Box feature.

For the most part, I very much like this app. The main issue I have is that the Switch version will not let you trade, which seems really weird considering the games themselves are on console, not mobile. 1 quality of life change I'd like (other than the option to trade through the app on console) is to be able to sort through Pokémon transferable to a specific game by their number in game. This is mainly for me to complete my BD Pokédex a bit more easily.
