would like to preface this review with a note that it’s genuinely serious. review section seems to be filled with poké fans cracking jokes at the moment but rest assured that this review is an island of sanity.i can’t speak for its effectiveness on its target audience of little kids, as i am almost an entire adult and haven’t interacted with anyone younger than 13 since quarantine began, but i just spent two entire minutes cleaning my teeth after being plagued my whole life by sensory processing disorders that have made the task either impossible or exhausting. tried to catch a ratatta. didn’t get it. i’m not even mad because i’m actually planning on brushing again this evening instead of feeling slightly guilty until 2am.no idea what kids think of it but it’s great for people who struggle to maintain their dental hygiene because mental health issues go brrrrrrr. four stars because the camera occasionally struggled to pick up my [non-clear, completely distinct from my face] toothbrush, and also because i wish litwick was in it, but the app functions pretty well as far as i’ve seen and by the looks of things it’s going to be genuinely helpful.if you hate the feeling of a toothbrush in your mouth but really like pokémon then this app will probably help you somewhat.
Pokémon Smile :D

This game is amazing and it keeps me wanting to brush every day, it tells you to brush for the recommended time and send me reminders when I need to brush. The head recognition is perfect on me. I honestly thought the app was what was making my gums bleed because I read the reviews after I downloaded and saw blood in my spit, so I asked my dentist and they said those reviews are incorrect and it’s not the app, it’s that they don’t floss. I would highly recommend this game for manual toothbrushes but not Electric since you don’t need to brush so fast on electric. Over all great game but just needs an update to put in a electric mode (not brushing so much) and maybe more hats and Pokémon.
So far it’s doing great, but it doesn’t recognise my smile

On the hat screen, you can try out your hats that you’ve unlocked, and from what I can tell, the pokemon in your head is supposed to get happy when you smile. However, I had difficulty triggering this reaction as my mouth has trouble lifting up the corners of my mouth in the same way others do.This is a small thing, but I wanted to mention it as it makes me feel a tiny bit sad
Best app for teaching kids how to brush their teeth

I can’t love this app more and so my kids. Not only the rewards of catching a pokemon, but the part that they actually showed them what to do and where to brush every single teeth and for a period of time. As dental assistant I see how kids don’t know how to brush their teeth and they spent very short time doing it. But I am now recommending this app to every parent patient I can… thank you for make this app and the best part is free!!
Added the ability to set a time limit for decorating pictures.
Bug fixes.
