Pokémon GO App Reviews

I love the game, and I realise that other people are having problems but Im not. I havent noticed a decrease in spawn rates, or any new glitches. And I think that if you cant devote time to this game then its not the games fault. Most games require you to spend a lot of time on quests or other things and I dont think it is unrealistic. Also, if you are upset about the tracking feature, you shouldnt blame Niantic, it should be the people making the apps to get Pokemon to spawn in wrong areas or tracking them. It takes away the fun of actually having to explore and find Pokemon. And if you spent enough to be wanting a refund, thats on you. In the ToS, it says that you should buy at your own discretion or something similar. I know it still has a few problems but just because people are upset, its not reason to flood the reviews with one star reviews. Grow up and be patient through the updates.

Against my better judgement I updated the app, and now I cant even open it. It gets to the splash screen of Pokémon watching fireworks, then kicks out to my main phone screen. Husband already deleted his app in frustration, and Im close, too. ?

Beside that find them is very hard... it could be nice if we can trade or give away candies/pokemon to other friends. Make it more interactive.

I still cannot open the app. It crashes every time I try.

Very disappointed that a very cool outdoor game keep crashing. I cant believe im experiencing this in 2017 and game literally marketable given the quality of widespread reported issues. I am using an iphone 6 plus. The fact that battery drains 20% in half an hour of walking is a big no no. I hope Niantic is reading this post. Given the worldwide player base, the level of battery drains from each players, the carbon footprint is disastrous if you do the math. Very very sad of judgement from management on path of development of the game.

New features and Pokemon are great, but if the app crashes constantly, the PoGo+ disconnects constantly, and now the map clears every five minutes, whats the point? Fix the software before you add more stuff.

Could you guys take a look at the big? I have not been able to log on for a couple days. I tried re downloading the app but its still not working. Its been quiet frustrating as the problem have continued. Im not sure if anybody else is experiencing the same issue. I think this issue started since your last update.

And I dont mean the endless swarm of Spinaraks outside my apartment.

After the recent updates, the game unable open properly and crash the game on IOS system on iPhone 7……please fix the bug Thanks

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. 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.

This is the best app ever. It gives me purpose lol. I love it.

When this game first launched it was hilariously unfinished, and quite nearly unplayable. Now that it works its a ton of fun. However, theres still a ton of room to improve on this game. We need battling and trading to keep the salty fan base entertained.

I was excited to use Pokemon Go to log my dog walks rather than the fitness app but it doesnt stay on. While I had the watch raised up and I was looking at the face it would track my walk and work fine, once I lowered my wrist to walk normally it would end the walk after no more than 45 seconds. I know because I checked the health app to see the inputs. It wouldnt tell me it was ending it, just nothing. I ended up just using the fitness app and holding my phone with Pokemon Go open like normal.

Theres an error where all the eggs say the date May 15, 2016. Also theres been lots of errors at the Gym where the Pokémon disappears, or where it still takes significant damage after dodging an attack.

Please fix it !

I have never had a game that crashes so much during gameplay or I have had to force close to get it to load

Help me, I was trying to find a Charmander and I fell in a hole. Im stuck down here! Its been about 17 hours. Send help!!! Otherwise great game.

The past few days of playing the game I find the game to be crashing a lot more frequently than before, I heard there were some updates to the game? In fact earlier today during the span of a minute give or take, the game crashed three times on me. Other than that itd be cool if you made events a little more frequently to keep people interested in playing. Maybe events where you can get cool avatar items by completing quests. Lastly I wonder if you can change the way we can view the Pokémon we have in storage, like sorting them by type as well? It gets a bit cumbersome scrolling for that one fairy or fire type Pokémon I want to use for gym battles. The recent water festival event was really fun, I hope to see more events like that in the future.

Niantic, I LOVE playing this game every single day. Its all I do in my free time. I want to be able to hold gyms too but one thing Im getting very sick and tired of is all the spoofers in this game! Its ruining or has already ruined he game for the legit players like me who play it! It really gives people an unfair advantage in this game! This game is ment to go OUTSIDE sand play and meet new people and Ive met lots of new people playing this game! Please get to the bottom of this and ban all the spoofers! Sincerely, a very concerned Team Mystic player

I love the game, but I can no longer play it. Every time I try to open the app it crashes. Ive had the problem for months now.
