Pokémon GO App Reviews

I feel Niantic is getting a lot hate right now so I just want to say a couple positive things. I realize not everyone can be pleased and satisfying everyones interest is next to impossible. I think overall this game is amazing! The player interaction, the push to explore new places, all while getting exercise in the process is wonderful. I love teaming up with complete strangers from my city and taking down raid bosses. I still get an adrenaline rush when I see a wild Snorlax or a Lapras! Though Chicago was a bust the first day I still had a great time. Drove up by myself and I ended up meeting several people from different states. The 6 of us all stayed together throughout the whole trip and hand a blast both Saturday and Sunday! I was in an extremely bad place in my life last year. Just getting sober from a bad drug addiction. I had cut out most of my friends who were using and was starting to go stir crazy sitting in the house all day. I was looking for some new hobbies when Pokémon Go was released. I decided to give it a try and was instantly drawn in. I now have over a year clean and have been busy rebuilding my ravished life. I owe a lot to Niantic and this game as corny as it may sound. Pokémon Go has helped me get back outside and smell the roses as they say. Ive met some new friends one of which is my best friend now. I have been to different parks, cities and states now exploring and catching Pokémon. My health has improved and best of all I am alive.

Whats going on with the red error messages when trying to conquer gyms? I keep getting to the last defender and when the battle loads it kicks me with the error message. So frustrating

Crashed a few times. Now I cannot get it re-downloaded from the App Store. Other than that awesome game!

This game lags a lot. And pretty much all you do is walk around and find Pokémon its so boring! But the other thing I like about it is that anywhere you go theres half the time Pokémon there.

Game is becoming too restricted in its playing. Not enough rewards in its normal play. Even worse changes to gyms, rewards were better before, new raids R only new good change, but limitations are restricting. Know with raids and poor legendary results on bonus round

Nothing like losing two 10km egg hatches to a frozen game while using incubators I purchased with poke coins. Hatches arent there after filtering by "recent".

Too bad catching a legendary is not like the real pokemon games. You should be able to catch them all. Perhaps set the CP of the legendary based on number of people participating at the time. Raids might be good for some but not all, especially when nobody is within miles. So I guess no legendaries for me without traveling a long way and being there at the right time. This was not well thought out. Also, the real pokemon games you can go to town and heal your pokemon.... I have been spinning poke stops non-stop and I will tell you the potion drops are dismal as well as the 10Ks. It used to be way better back in Feb. What happened ? Stop Nerfing the game... Make it better.

I live in a small town and as I go to our major city theres pokestops everywhere, and mostly it churchs and landmarks and the post office. When the game first came out I played it and lived besides one of the citys churches with the new update the church I use to live by is now a pokestop why cant there be a pokestop of Ewing Christian church and Ewing baptist church? They are right across the street from each other and I would be right in the middle of two pokestops, since Ewing,KY has no pokestops whatsoever in the city limits. And even the post office isnt anything, make it a gym. That is my suggestion. These churches have been around since 1800s if not longer. Why arent they included in the pokestop areas?

Hey, since mewtwo coming out soon , please send some inivites to marin county like in mill valley or san Rafael when we have raid battles and When can we change teams honestly? Im team instinct and i hardly know any people in my area who are yellow only mystic and valor. You guys can change username once but not teams all my friends and people i met are other teams and i hardly get bonuses or extra premier cause of my team symbol. Id like to be mystic Please so i could get extra premire balls for mewtwo abd the next legendaries

My original account that I spent like 20$ on was erased and support never resolved my problem so that was a loss. It is not terrible but it basically forces you to spend money in my opinion. I would suggest something like random free items for consecutive days played and I would appreciate the ability to be able to pay to change your account name, a one time change falls short to me.

Why the heck, if Im walking or driving the distance does it matter?!? Its be really useful to everyone Im sure! ProbAbly make it more interactable and enjoyable for people that travel a lot for work, or feel that the km dont count because Im in a car and have to click,... "Im a passenger" first off you cant even have a Pokémon pop up on you when you on the freeway! Common Pokémon #makehighwaytravelingthesameaswalkingdistance

First, the release of Mewtwo is a BIG deal. From what Ive read you need to be "invited" to these raids. There are many flaws to this raid system: 1) If you are "invited" to these raids for Mewtwo, even if you are given ample time how could someone who works for a living get to these raids? You cant just call out of work, or leave for hours if the gym is far away. -Niantic if you want people to continue playing this game you need to let people do these "invite only raids" from where ever they are located. We shouldnt have to travel to a gym just for a raid, its ridiculous and unacceptable. 2) The capture rates are WAY too low for these legendaries. Ive caught 1 out of 15 attempts on all legendaries. I dont have the luxury of walking or driving around all day everyday to catch one, so when the opportunity does arise and its a fail, it turns me away from the game. 3) The gym system is completely flawed. Youre capped at 50 coins a day no matter how many Pokémon you throw in different gyms. I understand you need to make money as a business but be a little more generous to the people who actually KEEP you in business. 4) Raids ending around 7:30-8 p.m. is way too early. Again, the average worker either works a 9-5 or 1-9 or anywhere in between. By the time someone gets out of work were lucky if we can find one good raid, let alone have enough people there to participate. Youre limiting your window of availability to the working class. Overall this game is fun, and nostalgic but there needs to be A LOT of changes made in order to keep faithful players coming back. GET WITH IT NIANTIC!

I never have any problems with it and the new raid battle mechanics are genius. Since the raid battles have come out I have caught Articuno, Muk and Wheezing!

I like this game especially when i play with my friends but at least be able to change team once like the nickname change. My friends are on different teams than i am and I dont want to be left out.

This game is pathetic. 1. There is no way to track Pokemon. 2. They havent fixed the volume issues. 3. Theres still nothing of what they promised us in the trailer, with some of those things being legendaries and trading. 4. They add features no one wants. 5. Now you cant play if youre going at a certain speed, making impossible to play on the bus. And hey, whats that? Oh, winter has arrived here in Canada? Well, its time to quit. This game is the most mediocre crap game Ive ever played, and I wish there was a negative star feature so I could express my hatred for this monster of a game. PS: Yall still play this game? P.S.S: Theyve added legendaries, but the game still sucks.

They are making all these stupid events go fest was fine but now the stupid Yokohama event and are giving everyone free legendarys for it like they gave everyone In japan mewtwo and for us to get him we have to do there stupid exclusive raid bs where it wont tell you which gym will be a exclusive raid

It kicked me out of the game and now it wont let me sign back in!! YOU CAN DO BETTER!!!!!

I play it with my wife.... shes the best

The game is great and i have been wating for a year for this awesome upgrade but there has lately been a glitch with the gyms I tried beating a Rhydon and i did.But then it didnt let me have battle the other Next Pokemon. 2 Trainers from all around the world would appreciate if there would be a traning center in Basketball court. Thanks

The company that puts this out doesnt care about their app users. The legendary roll out was a joke. Who has 15 friends they can call at a moments notice? Furthermore the bugs are real. I get false errors all the time. I want this app to be everything they advertised. We cant even battle other Pokémon trainers. Not what the original commercial advertised. With Pokémon go you will play all the time and get nothing you wanted from it. Get it together niantic and give appreciation to those who have stuck by you.
