Pal Pad – Card Game Review
Pal Pad is a Card game from Jared Grimes, first launched in 7th January 2020.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 24+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Pal Pad Stand Out
Make, save, and export decks for the Pokemon Trading Card Game! Pal Pad makes it extremely easy to organize all of your decks into one consolidated place, and allows seamless integration with all of your favorite import/export options. Stop typing all of your lists in Google Docs and accidentally bringing a 59 card deck to a cup and step up your deck list game with Pal Pad!
Features:
- FULL-FEATURED DECK EDITOR – Add/remove cards and format will automatically adjust to the cards you have. Cards you add can be filtered to show only the format of your deck, and banned cards are flagged for removal in all deck lists
- FUTURE FORMAT
- LIMITLESS + PTCGO IMPORT – Import a deck list from Limitless TCG from within the app. Browse Limitless by deck archetype and load the deck you want right into a new deck for saving or exporting. Of course, you can always import a good old fashioned PTCGO list.
- IMAGE + PTCGO + TOURNAMENT EXPORT – Export a deck list through an image to share (only part of the Leaks Package) or through PTCGO list directly in the app. Never has it been easier to share your deck with friends. Or, once you're ready to bring that spice to your local tournament, use the tournament list export feature (also available in Leaks Package) to generate a tournament-ready list you can print out and turn in!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We think this App is the best one of its kind right now, but we do think it meeds some minor improvements. For starters, it needs a better way to delete cards, the help section said to hold to enter edit mode then swipe, but we couldn't get it to work at all. Next, when you make your deck and attempt to view it from section where it lists all your decks, it shows the number of cards in the deck, but wont show any of the images for cards, but when you click on the Most Recent tab of the last deck you edited, it shows your deck with all the cards in it. Finally, the card database in the app doesnt have all of the more recent Sword and Shield promos (Polteageist V, Pikachu Full-Art) and wont display the image for certain, older promos (XY Gym Badges), but those are just minor nitpicks due to how frequently new cards are made and how hard it is to keep up with them. Overall, we think this app is great and we hope it improves further down the line.
We got this app to help keep track of our all our decks in the expanded format. We were building a deck and typed Virbank City Gym into the card search. It pops up the card for a split second then disappears again. If we click it before it closes it crashes the app. We physically cant put our deck together cause of this glitch. It doesnt for other cards too, not just Virbank. Its a cool tool to have, but its far to buggy to be taken too seriously. Plus the frequent crashes make us loose the work adding them in. If they fix those bugs Ill happily download again.
We wouldve been able to live with this app being a bit slow if it werent for the fact that its just straight up missing cards. This app not only takes an incredibly long time to load most searches, it also has several cards not even listed. It would honestly be easier to open MS Paint and edit together a picture of a deck.
The app will build and save a list but if you try to export the list for a tournament it crashes. We like the visual card selection but the interface is less than intuitive. Could certainly use more polish.
There is finally a deck building app for ios. This is a clean, light, and easy to use app that makes making lists on the go soooo much easier. Im looking forward to all the future features planned that have been teased by the dev.
