Overall great experience. It has a card catalog going all the way back to the Sun & Moon era, game modes for Standard, and Expanded. There are NO in-game purchases that require real money: you earn currency through playing matches and trading in extra cards. There is a season Battle Pass but it is 100% free and will get you LOTS of points and cards! The app does lose one star because of bad connection. If you minimize the app for any reason, it will require you to log back in.

I'm happy that they've brought TCG to mobile but the app itself isn't great, and I've lost so many cards. I played so much Pokémon Live doing the challenges etc. and getting the card rewards and I've lost most of them (everything before the sword and shield expansion ie. tag team cards ; energy cards etc.). I hope the new update has sorted out all the bugs too. I'm gonna carry on playing for now, but I'm not very happy it, again it's just more convenient than playing on the laptop.

It's missing a lot of the charm of its predecessor, such as the drumroll on final card reveal in a pack. It runs so, so hot and drains battery aggressively, making it something less likely I would use on the go. I am generally sad about the reduction in Extended decks and the cards that can be used. A lot of the fun of the TCG for me is playing with cards from across all the sets, and I'm really sad I'm not able to do this anymore.
