Pokémon GO App Reviews

Logged out of my account and now cant even log in

Since the update with gyms not that long ago it seems like the gyms mess up a lot between "Errors" and cant take over the gyms that you defeat. The gyms needs updating and have an option for multiple people taking over a gym at one (that seems to cause the gyms to mess up right now). Also it would be great to get more chances at coins. Like more time you get for protecting a gym the more coins you get in the future (it will be max 50 coins but after you stay in the gyms for X-amount of time the coin value would increase by 10 or 15 coins). Same with taking over a gym except it stays the same for each gym battle (i.e. 5 coins for 1 person in a gym and goes to 45 coins if 6 people are in the gym). And maybe find coins at Poke stops which will be uncommon to find but you get max 5 coins.

How about we fix PTC login issues that have plagued the game since day 1. That would be nice so I can actually play the game during peak hours.

It is not letting me do it or on any other iPhone I have

Why waste a 100 coins of raid pass before finding out the team size? With less than 7 players, it is impossible to win the most difficult raid. Even in San Francisco, I could not find enough players to join to win a raid. What a shame! With the fake "the gym is under attack", it is impossible to join a gym until minutes later most of the time whenever I see an empty spot available to join! Do you want us to play your dying game or not? Southeast Asia is still Asia! Why no Farfetchd? After almost 2 years since launching the game, the sort for Pokémon based on HP is still NOT WORKING! Free incubator is still listed last. Who on earth would have used a premium incubator when a free one is available? Why limit storage size? A limit of 1000 space for Pokémon and 1500 items are simply NOT enough. Do you want players to just catch and discard OR just fight for gyms? With Gen 2 new Pokémon and items (berries and special stones), there is simply no space to play efficiently! Why so few Pokéstop drops? Drops of items from Pokéstop spins are also too few. After I circled the neighborhood populated with Pokéstops, the neighbors started to check on me for suspicious activities, but I still couldnt fill up all the lost balls for multiple capture attempts even the low CP Pokémon. Still unable to turn off time-consuming or time-wasting animations! We have seen millions of evolutions, so theres no need for this money cheating (lucky eggs) animation time. --------- Cons: - Now that the hype is gone, no lures at non-tourist spots, which means hardly any Pokemon encountered daily to actually enjoy the unfruitful game. - Pokéstop address not available. Its supposed to linked to a GPS map for direction. By looking at it, its too difficult to guess where they actually are. - consume too much power - walking not recorded sometimes - coverage radius is too small. Most of the time have to stand under the sun without shade! - app has to be running and screen has to be turned on in order to record walking distance (consume too much power. Fitbit, Garmin, etc record all our movement and locations . Learn from them).

Without compensation or explanations for why a significant portion of the player base is locked out of their accounts, Pokémon go loses the trust of a lot of their player base

Please make more hair options.... her hideous hair drives me crazy. I know it wasnt a priority at first but its been a year! Please, for the love of God...

Very fun, the limit on receiving coins for occupying gyms is disappointing. Perhaps rather than a limit, after 50 coins or 8 hours and 20 minutes, the rate could be decreased instead of stopped.

I didnt even get to play it just kept shutting me off and resetting my password so i didnt even know what it was????????

Fun and addicting gets you outside and is easy to use

This is the worst app I have ever seen as far as getting your information back to login. I was very randomly kicked off for no reason Ive been using the same phone for the whole time that Ive had the app and I havent done anything differently but when I logged in today it brought me back to the sign in screen. I put in what I guessed was my username and password; after several failed attempts I went to recover my user name. After putting in my email address and date of birth it told me that there was no record of this email address. I only have one other email address that I use so I tried that too and got the same message. Obviously something is messing up on their end and there is no resource to try to fix the problem. I am now locked out of my account and Im losing my streak bonuses and I have no idea when Ill be able to get back. Incredibly frustrating.

Sick of the bugs! And now it logged me out and I cant remember my username or password and the website to retrieve them is down! This is f**ked up!!

Its an awesome game. Ive had to argue with my phone for 10 minutes on why I cant give it 6 stars. Its just that fun, but there are some features that would make it better. Like, if you were to power up your Pokémon, have a counter that allows you to choose the amount of candies you wanna use, then the game calculates the amount of star dust it takes, then power it up instead of spamming the button. Thats one of many cool things it could have, but this is getting too long ????

This is possibly the greatest game ever. I have been playing since the early days. It has been fun to see the game evolve with many new additions. Buy lately there are some problems: 1. You can only have 1 raid pass, and the premium ones are expensive. 2. Too many bugs and crashes 3. The gym system needs improvements 4. Some pokemon never spawn 5. Instead of appraise just give the IV

maybe give the option to switch teams once like how you can switch your name once

Ive Raided for 3 days on purchased premium passes and free passes, and still EVERYTHING FLEES nothing caught!!! Sux! Hope its a bug youre fixing

Hey your game is great but can you guys start adding more stuff such as more kinds of Pokemon and can you make so that you can get more stuff at poke stops, and also can you add more poke stops. Also can you make it so that you get free poke balls everyday because there are a lot of us trainers who dont have any and also because we dont want to waste are money in poke coins. And finally dont build anymore gyms because I cant go to where one of the old poke stops used to be and when is the next big update coming out hurry it up already and hurry up with the gym construction its driving me crazy at how long its taking. Ow and one more thing could you make it so that you could change teams because I cant evolve into anything else. Two more things that you guys could add are Pokémon trading and Pokemon Breeding. One more thing get a better walking meter because I just walked 2 km and it said I only went 100m.

It lags constantly and will not allow me to enter Google

Instead of trying to get players to by special boxes in the store, you should focus on fixing the problems with game you create with each update. Game crashes more than half time since the last major updates to the gyms. Do you beta test updates before releasing them? Have your staff earn their salaries by actually checking to see if something works before adding it to the game. The raids are horrible and theres rhyme or reason to them as to why or when the game will crash during them.

This game has improved greatly since it was first introduced. Ive been on and off with playing it every few months and I really appreciate how it gets me moving out and about. It keeps me entertained. I really like the new motivation system idea rather than the lowest CP Pokémon getting kicked out. I also like the ability to restore the motivation with berries, though having a default berry set other than a razzberry would be nice. I tend to use razzberries a lot and I always worry I might use them mistakenly. The raid battles are nice, but, since Im one to usually go solo, more than three minutes would be nice to complete the challenge. I dont like how after you complete a raid battle, you cant access the gym until the raid battle time has passed, so you cant get any bonuses (making the gyms into pokéstops was an excellent idea as well) help any Pokémon, nor place your own Pokémon in the gym. It would also be nice if getting a "Nice", "Great", or "Excellent" throw increased chances of capture along with the XP obtained after if caught. Perhaps the berries could also provide more assistance? There have been many times where I had attempted capture with berries and then the attempt without a berry had caught the Pokémon. There are some Pokémon that are very difficult to capture, with or without a berry. Bayleef after a raid battle is an example: even with a golden razzberry (a nice reward by the way) the capture was very difficult. After a raid battle, I do like the idea of having a limited amount of pokeballs correlating with effort and other bonuses during the battle, but the type of pokeball should not be so weak if youre handling difficult-to-capture Pokémon with a limited amount of pokeballs. It may just be a coincidence, but I believe there might be a cap on how many coins a Pokémon can bring back after being knocked from a gym. Two of my Pokémon, one being in a gym for around 2-3 days and the other only in for a little less then 1, brought home 50 coins each. I understand that profits are made from people purchasing coins, but that doesnt mean there should be a limit on how many coins a Pokémon can bring home. If they only bring home a limited amount after some time, its a goal to have it knocked out and put back in. If a Pokémon only receives 50 coins for a days work, maybe after the day, there could be a couple coins received every hour after that? Maybe depending on how many times the Pokémon has successfully defended the gym or how many battles it won while in the gym? There could potentially be a gradual decrease in how many coins a Pokémon gains over time. Perhaps 3-4 coins every hour or two on the first and second day, then 2-3 every hour or two on the third and fourth, 1-2 coins every hour on the fifth and sixth, and 1 every hour every day after that? I do like the change from the 20 coins every 21 hours to a constant increase over time. Something that might help would be decreasing the value of coins, but increasing the amount. Things would cost more coins, but youd also receive a lot more for purchasing or defending a gym. I had also thought about the idea of a guarantee for the pokeballs, like a normal pokeballs would have a much higher chance to catch a Pokémon below 100 CP, a great ball would have a higher chance for a Pokémon below 300 CP, and an ultra ball would have a higher chance for Pokémon below 500 CP. An overall capture rate increase as you level up would also be helpful, due to the fact that the Pokémon lack HP to lower and you cant inflict status conditions; you only have the berries to work with. Something that may also work well would be including other types of pokeballs (if that isnt already planned). Things like Quick balls or Repeat balls would help a lot for troublesome Pokémon that you want to catch. A master ball may be overkill, but as a serious reward, perhaps for a streak of streaks at a pokestop or gym or something? Maybe something like items occasionally popping up when youre out wandering around, something showing up in the nearby section and a rating of a pokeball, great ball, or ultra ball with how good the item is, maybe a pokeball holding a single item, possibly a normal pokeball, a potion, or a berry and then escalating from there, with the better pokeballs holding more, better items. The game is great, but, as with anything, there can always be improvements made and there will always be people who want something different. Take my review as a suggestion and not an issue.
