Pokémon GO App Reviews

I keep signing in correctly and nothing ever works.

Why cant we use other emajl sources like @icloud and @yahoo? Why must it only be google and facebook? Its very stupid. ?

Im on a iPhone and when I click the gyms it wont let in

I enjoyed the game as it made my 5 mile walk each day more interesting.. Had fun with the gyms, but have noticed more cheating and fake accounts. And with spoofing the cheaters can sit on their couch and take your gym and 20 others quickly. So why go through the trouble to take and level up gyms if over night you get kicked out of all of them. If this was a roving band of legit players I would have no problem. But, the game is now ruled by gangs of gps cheaters.

This app is trash my character wont move

Nothing works. I play on two different phones and GPS doesnt work on either. Gyms are impossible to attack, because the app crashes 9 out of 10 times. This game is an endless nightmare.

Spoofers seem to run the gyms around me. Taking them down building them to level ten when Im the only person there. They need to be dealt with.

I love this game BUT, I wish there was an option to change teams once, similar to where you change your screen name once. I also dont like how the walking distance is not accurate at all. I measured out 5 kilometers and walked it, but my game barely game me 1 kilometer. Lastly, in one of the newer updates all of the wild Pokémon were removed and the only place to catch any Pokémon was at the one pokestop in my town. If these 3 issues were fixed, Id be happy to give 5 stars.

Huge Pokémon fan ! Started playing this game after one year of its release due to some issues. But now Im able to play it... :D it always gives me great suspense! Everyday I wake up thinking.. I wonder which Pokémon Im gonna catch today. Didnt catch any rare ones so far.... hoping that day will come xD Well theres only one request? Please add more Pokéstops and Gyms.. therere very few in my area.... would help a lot if you consider this request......

Overall, the game is pretty decent. My only issues revolve around Onix. The egg chart has been revamped and he was moved down to the 5 km tier, which makes no sense given how hard he is to find in the wild. And on top of that, his health stat is unnecessarily poor. You mean to tell me that something as large as Onix has a very low health pool? That doesnt make any sense. CHANSEY is a pre-evolved Pokémon and she has a massive health pool. Onix is also pre-evolved, and given his massive size and rock-hard physique, would it not make sense to give him a larger health pool? My message is simple: Onix needs a major buff.

The Water Festival event was a lot of fun. We need more of that more often. Niantic has improved a few small things here and there. The extra candies for catching evolutionary forms give incentive to actually catch some tougher mon. The pinap berry is also a welcome addition helping to speed up the grinding for candy. But there is still a long way to go and glaring problems that still need fixing. The gym/battling system is simply broken. "CP" should be scrapped altogether. CP highly favors attack power and Pokémon attackers. There is no incentive to put a 2000 CP Umbreon into a gym when its going to get knocked out first over a nearly 3000 CP Espeon and anything else in between. Although Umbreon has the clear advantage due to type and a strong defense stat. For this reason you see a lot of the same Pokémon in gyms. A well statted Pikachu would hold its ground against a Gyarados in a Pokémon game because of type advantage but why would I ever use one after catching it in Pokémon GO? The game basically forces you to use Raichu due to the huge difference in CP, or any other higher CP mon. Taking down a gym should focus on attacking with the correct party whereas holding a gym should favor using natural defenders and a diverse type of party. What if your position in the gym was dependent on how much gym prestige points you attributed to leveling it up? Somebody who gets 10,000 prestige points should be gym leader, followed by the person who got 5,000, then the guy who got 1,000 just to throw his own Pokémon in real quick. This would give incentive for players to stick around and battle for longer at a gym and would really enhance that MMO aspect of the game. You would want to keep battling to help your team hold the gym, but also be the last one to get knocked out. Just please do away with that crippling CP number stat. It really hinders potential. Professor Willow has no purpose or character other than telling you the tutorial. It would be cool if he sent us on some adventures for his studies. I.e. catch 10 fire type Pokémon; feed 5 razzberries to wild Pokémon; or snap a photo of a ghost type Pokémon. Theres a lot of potential here to send players on some cool adventures via quests for possible rewards. Update: Okay, so it seems these Professor Willow quests and updates are provided through the E-mail newsletter. The latest one stating Grass types will be more common from May 5-8 and to help contribute to Willows research before they return to their natural habitat. It may not be through the game, but these are the events that we need more frequently to keep the game exciting. I feel they should be at least a week long and offer at least one a month, but props to Niantic for these updates. It also helps players catch a variety of Pokémon regardless of the biome they are in. +1 star There should still be a way to play the game at the end of the day from home. At 12am when its too late to go walking around. Yes, I know the game is about going out and exploring, but it shouldnt be completely unplayable otherwise. Players shouldnt be penalized for the time of day they are able or willing to play your game. It should be fun, be worth playing and progressing at any time. Give me some sort of way to hatch eggs in place, albeit slower than walking with an incubator. Give me a Pokémon spawn at my location for tapping the grass at my location 1,000 times. Anything that I can do to play and feel a sense of achievement. Incense isnt really worth it since a Pokémon only spawns every 4 min or so. It would be a cool feature if you could feed your Buddy Pokémon once a day, any one of your berries to make it happy and drop an extra Candy. Basically, every 21 hrs your buddy is with you (like holding a gym) you feed it when it gets hungry to collect your Candy reward. This would make the berries you collect, as well as the Buddy feature more important and a little more interactive. It would give players a reason to turn the app on at least once a day to play, whether or not they lose or care about their catch/Pokéstop streak. More importantly, its a good break from that boring mass evolution and grinding of Pidgeys. Players should be able to progress towards that evolution that they REALLY want--which is their Buddy Pokémon obviously! Thats the best moment of the game for everyone, right? Lastly, please fix the annoying speed cap pop ups every minute while in a vehicle. Everyone is always a passenger anyway, dont you know that? Once is enough. These are just a few issues and recommendations. Thank you for the improvements thus far. Keep on GOing, Niantic.

Heavy doses of nostalgia combined with innovative technologies make this game a potential masterpiece. It’s proven to get me and my friends outside doing things we wouldn’t typically do. Walking more, going to new places and being part of the hype has been genuine fun. It’s been a bit of a surreal experience seeing so many people at parks and monuments around the city playing the game. The first couple days of playing (or attempting to play) have been frustrating to say the least, but this frustration stems from eagerness to want a more reliable and seamless experience. I’ll patiently keep playing because this game has massive potential. Catching Pokémon is satisfying and the foundation of gameplay mechanics is solid. Despite major mishaps with the initial release, the developers quickly responded to user outcry. The Google account access security issue has been resolved but the game still has bugs and shortcomings. Server reliability is a major issue (understandably so due to the popularity) and they’re clearly addressing user feedback. My biggest criticism (aside from the technological issues) is that this game lacks a core Pokémon element — battling. I know this is where gyms come in, but I don’t live or work near one and haven’t had the opportunity to battle yet. There are plenty of people around me playing and it would be amazing to battle outside the gyms. Another observation is that there’s not a whole lot to do if you’re not out being active. There isn’t a lot of playability while relaxing on the couch. I understand that the big idea of the game is to get out and explore, but there still needs to be more passive micro-gaming when youre inside. All that being said, this game is fantastic. It makes me feel likely a kid again and that’s something special. I cant wait to see improvements and additions. Wont stop until I catch em all.

Waiting months to get one special item after hitting over 60 different pokestops is ridiculous. Keep finding the same 7 kinds of Pokémon. Only so many pidgies and spearrows one needs. Frustrated and ready to stop playing. *No bonus when leveling up level 19-21. Lowers music when listening and playing game. Newest update needs fixing quickly. Game freezes a lot especially when you have caught a character and freezes up. Servers constantly are experiencing difficulties, and issues getting game to work a lot of the time. Frustrating to use 20-30 balls to catch higher cp level character only to lose it because the game crashes or freezes up causing one to have to restart their phone. Also drains your battery quickly! Please fix the bugs soon so we can enjoy playing again.

I activated my account 5TIMES AND IT KEEPS SAYING "sign in now" I sign in than I makes me activate the account AGAIN HELP

The game when the app works is a 5 star but it crashes all the time, freezes, throws network errors, and the distance tracking is way off compared to the workout app or even its own Apple Watch app.

It used to be my favorite game but ever sense gen 2 game it its HORRIBLE

Its a nice game to play when theres nothing i do and I have time to walk around, but evolution items are impossible to get. A recommendation would be to fix it to have a 20% spawn chance EVERY time someone spins a pokestop, or maybe every fifth time. But srven day streaks are impossible for a college kid who gas to help her mom take care of her baby brother. So, I can only give the game three stars, until it becomes less challenging to grind for what I need.

A new bug causes every Pokémon to run away after the first attempt of catching it and doesnt let you battle gyms. I lost the opportunity to catch several high level Pokémon that rarely spawn. The experience of this game gets worse and worse with time. Theres not much point in playing this to have fun if it just ruins your afternoon.

WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE!? I have tried to catch 7 Pokémon in a row. SEVEN IN A ROW. And they keep running away after the ball shakes ONCE. Fix this stupid glitch immediately.
