Pokémon GO App Reviews

Stability went down the drain with the latest update. It constantly crashes when in sleep mode paired with PoGo+. Niantic insistence in putting in measures to stop cheaters at the expense of food gameplay experience for legitimate players is increasingly making it harder to enjoy the game. Limiting speed to 6mph to hatch eggs? Consider putting legitimate gamers at heart rather than trying to stop cheaters.

I love hunting for Pokémon with friends, and I am only level 33, but it seems like the game punishes players who have spent their stardust. Since "buddies" were introduced I have only walked a Snorlax, and have 2 just over 3,000 cp. When I put them in a gym their CP depletes so much faster than the lower cp Pokémon also in the gym. Doesnt make sense that stronger Pokémon are worse. Gym rework isnt great. No point in networking with your team to take gyms anymore, so one of the best social aspects has been eliminated. That being said the raids introduce a new social aspect which is cool, but too easy to get rare Pokémon. Muk was the last Gen One I needed, and the thrill of the hunt was taken away now that I see a few gyms a week with him as the boss. Also the TMs make it too easy for everyone to have same move set. Grinding candy at nests and then hoping you get the move set you wanted was half the fun. When you didnt, well time to grind another 50 or 125 candy to try again. Too many games are too easy now. This game had challenging aspects to it. Now all the complainers and lazy trainers have been handed everything they wanted. This used to be a game where youd have to move to advance, play a lot to get those strong Pokémon. Strong Pokémon mean nothing now. Cool. A game that people said had no point or end "goal" has even less point. Reward low level Pokémon. Punish Pokémon who have received lots of love, dust, and candy. Now with gym raids and TMs people can easily succeed sitting in their car or on their couch.

When Im walking in real life the character wont move

This is the only game I really play and I play it A LOT. Which means I spend REAl money too. I have an iPhone 6 and lately I can barely play the game for more than 5 minutes without it crashing. And every time it crashes I have to fish my phone out of my bag or pocket and re-pair my Pokémon go plus. Its a pain. Every time it crashes I lose time on my lucky eggs or incense. My friends on android claim they dont see the same issues as me. There is no way the app developers are doing much real-world testing with iOS as lots of other people are complaining about crashes too. Apple should put their walled garden approach to use and start pushing back or flagging Apps like this that constantly crash. Obviously a program should not be crashing every couple of minutes.

The new coin max is terrible to me. I live in a little town and the only way for me to be able to do anything is if I can get coins. It has made it easier to get them but harder for me to do other stuff with the game. Aswell the new raid system isnt what I hoped. Yes we can get rare Pokémon but its harder to catch them with the balls you give us and there simply isnt enough to catch them half the time. I still give the game 4 stars but its getting harder than before.

Let us make and save groups of Pokémon for gyms and raids!

Kay, it works on my Moms phone, but on my iPod it says No GPS signal and it keeps crashing. And I have watched numerous Videos to fix it, and noting happened. I have Wifi, and it still does not work. And there website page to sign in does not load!!! My iPod is the newest version. I LOVE POKEMON, BUT THIS GAME IS DISAPPOINTING FOR MY DEVICE!!!!!! I have the Pokemon WiiU game and it is so fun! It works perfectly!! If only Pokemon go was that good... (Im talking about Glitches.) I am old enough to play if you where wondering.

I have been playing this app on and off ever since it came out, and as a die hard Pokémon fan, I have to say Im impressed with what this app has to offer. However I was taken aback when I could only pick between two trainers. Of course you could argue that it didnt explicitly ask "are you a boy or a girl?" (something Im all too familiar with), and you can of course switch between the two, but something still felt... off. Now you might wonder why Im not critiquing the gameplay segment of this app. I feel like in this case (and in many others) inclusion comes first. If you dont feel included (part of the actual experience, gameplay, etc), would you want to play the game? If you still choose to play, are you really a part of the gaming community? Are they (the game developers) actually interested in interacting with their fanbase? Or, are they seeing them, but prefer to not actually acknowledge them? As someone who is nonbinary/genderqueer I was of course happy that I could change my presentation at will, however the fact that there are still only two options to choose from baffles me. If there was a third trainer, one where you could fully customize their appearance (neither male or female in appearance). The clothing would not be gender locked, and the trainers base could be customized (neither strictly masculine or feminine. Kind of like a simplified sim). I feel like this would empower people who actually feel this way. They would feel included and seen in a world that otherwise shuns and chooses to ignore us. The Pokémon games have never really been truly inclusive. During the first generation, the player (regardless of their true gender [or a lack of]) were forced to pick a male trainer. The second generation changed this, but it was only in the third game (Crystal) where players could then choose to play as a female character. Ever since then there have only been two options (for nearly 20 years). I feel like this app presents a brand new opportunity for nonbinary/genderqueer players to be seen and to be acknowledged as actual members of the gaming community.

I love this game-but it Changed there is no way for poke coins to be earned i was in 9 gyms before the up date now i have none because i am lvl 17 i miss the old up date where i could do gyms there is 3 in my town i wish that the lvl was 5 again to be in gyms my dad gust got lvl 5 and i wanted to take him out for a gym battle there for i dont like The game any more.

Update has cool features, but making monsters 3 or 4x harder to catch is annoying. Also, Ive only seen one good Pokémon since the update. Its mostly all Pidgeys and Weedles on a two mile walk.

I DEFINITELY DONT RECOMMEND THIS SILLY GAME PLZ DONT GET IT U SHOULD BE PLAYING ON UR PS4 OR UR XBOX 1 !!!

I think this a very great and fun game but with the new raid update I was very excited. Me and 3 others players went to a gym with a very rare raid there. At first I tried to play with only a few of us but we could not defeat it. Then we tried again with even more players that joined us. We finally defeated it and we were all excited to catch it. We all went to catch it but only 2 of the 9 of us got it?I was not one of them to catch it. I fell like it is very unfair that we only get very little pokeballs to catch it and not everyone gets to catch it after all of us had a part in the battle. I would like if In The new update that you can use your own pokeballs to catch a raid and to have a better chance of catching it thanks!

The new gym system is annoying and needs fixes. Outnumbered teams are unable to get decent rewards

still need some work.

Rest in peace pokemon go

Great game! But there are a lot of bugs that need to be fixed. Like how much battery it now eats, I want out for 2 hours and my battery fully died so I had to spend most of my time charging, also the game crashes a lot. One other thing I have a problem with is the battler advantage when taking gyms, its a great idea but when Im out with my friends and Im taking a gym right before we meet and when he gets to me he cant put Pokémon in the gym for like 15 minutes but nobody has to wait before battling and taking back the gym so my gym has one Pokémon for 15 minutes so it is so easy to take. But overall its a really fun game but I think niantic should focus on some of the problems because they are pushing me away from the game

my fifteen account were baned！fxxk all

Love the raid update.

Im a fan of the new gym structure. Thanks for the update.

It took all my data in 1 week
