Other Comments

Kids and adults of all ages that love Pokemon and can't enough of the shows. Well, wait no more. This wonderful app will now bring you many episodes of a variety of Pokemon series for you to watch and enjoy. The episodes changes weekly so you can be sure to watch new episodes that you hadn't seen from weeks before. The only problem with this app is that it isn't as easy to navigate around. The style of the app reminds me a lot of the Netflix app. There is only one page you have to deal with. Absolutely no other pages or anything for you to see. There is usually the one or two Special shows or movies toward the top. Followed by the five Pokemon series laid out in a carasel format. The five Pokemon series are in this order by rows: Unova Sinnoh Hoenn Johto Kanto So you Pokemon fans will probably understand what the series I've mentioned above. Now comes how to navigate through the carosel that this app has laid out for us. So let take the last row for example. This contains the episodes for the Kanto series. In this week episodes that are available of this writing is The Purr-Fect Hero S2 E2, Riddle Me This S2 E3, Volcanic Panic S2 E4 and so on and so on. So you need a keen ear for this. The first thing you will hear is the first show is what is currently selected on. So in this case is The Purr-Fect Hero episode. Did you notice that it is followed by the Season and the Episodes number? Quite nice. So if you were to double tap on this. It will start The Purr-fect Hero show. The video player is as you would expect it to be. They are the standard video layout and the buttons are there for you to use and play with. Now if you want to watch the Riddle Me episode instead. What you would need to do is place your finger on the right side of the screen on the row that we have The Purr-Fect Hero is on. Now single finger double tap and hold. Swipe to the left. Now when you tap on this row. You will now hear that it says Riddle Me S2 E3, Volcano Panic S2 E4, and so on and so on. So if you repeat this step. You will go to the thierd episode for this series. To go back just do the oppisote. So instead of swiping to the left you swipe to the right. This is what we call a carasel. Each row of Series are seperated from each other but each row has its own carasel. To watch this Riddle Me episode. Just do the single finger double tap to start this episode. Remember that these shows are not downloable but rather streaming only. Those with limited of data per month will want to make sure you are watching these shows on your wi-fi of your choice. So thanks to my kids in teach me in how this works. They are definitely Pokemon fans. I saw this and wanted to share this with other people that may be fans or have kids that would love to watch the many episodes that this app provides. So go and catch them all!
