Pokémon GO App Reviews

This game is so great! But you have to fix this new gym system! There are so many bugs and glitches, every time I play I have to turn my phone of to reset it. The berry feeding glitch is not fixed! And the poké coins awarded for defending a gym IS A JOKE! 50 coins no matter how many Pokémon you have in a gym!!!!!! Come on that is a joke!!! And no XP points for winning a gym or defending it!!! Listen, I love this game, Ive probably spend 500$ in game play, but you have to make this better!!!! You literally have to walk a mile to gain 1/2 an inch with this game. Please fix this Niantic!!!! So this is a fair game. I will continue to play for years if you make it fair!!!! Fix the bugs and give fair rewards!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will give it a 5 star when you do!

Before summer 2016, i had never even played a single pokemon game at all. This game is fun, but there are a couple MAJOR problems niantic needs to fix ASAP. First of all, this is the buggiest and glitchiest game i have ever played, to the point where i cant even battle gyms because it keeps saying Network Error. I can live with a little lag, but the main problem are the SPOOFERS. If you dont know what a spoofer is, it is a person who hacks pokemon go to get a little joystick on their screen so their character walks around without the actual person having to walk around to catch pokemon, spin pokestops, etc. Niantic has apparently lied to us that this is a big problem they want to fix, as FsuAtl on youtube CONTINUALLY uploads tutorials on how to hack pokemon go. The very least niantic could do is to ask youtube to remove the videos they find on youtube that are about spoofing or teaching people to spoof (yes, they CAN do that). Or maybe actually start handing out bans to players who do spoof. Its sad that niantic would rather completely ruin the illegitimacy of their game than to actually do something about it. To those who live in rural areas with little to no pokestops or pokemon around, or those with disabilities that hinder their ability to play the game: DO NOT SPOOF. Like it pr not, pokemon go was NOT designed for every single person in the world. It was also NOT designed to play in rural areas with few pokestops. It was NOT designed for people with disabilities that hinder their movement to play. There are plenty of other pokemon games you can play without ruining the game for other people who enjoy to play the game legitimately. In conclusion, i hope that niantic fixes these problems, because without them being fixed, the game becomes unplayable. Also: gyms are WAY too easy to defeat. With the exception of a Blissey, a level 15-20 could EASILY defeat a level 40s pokemon in a gym with a minute to spare. I would recommended that niantic should shorten the time you have to battle a pokemon in a gym, or allow a trainer to bring, say, 3-4 pokemon to a battle instead of a 6 pokemon team.

Great app, but heres an idea Notification wise, there should be a way to notify you if there are Raids going on nearby, and a list of Pokémon you can turn notifications on for, like I really love arcinine, and Im not always thinking of Pokémon Go, so it could notify me saying "Arcinine is nearby!" Or something like that. Another thing, there should be different tracking modes, like the paw prints being brought back. Set it to paw print tracking, grass tracking, pulse tracking etc., but make it so the player can choose which one they want to mess with Other than that, app works great for me

I do not use this app while driving. I would like to start with that. I typically use it while my husband is driving. I used to be able to collect from stops as we drove by but I am having an issue with it just saying try again. Of course I cant try again because we have already driven by. I love all the new Pokémon and Im excited about the legendary Pokémon but this issue needs to be fixed.

My game will not load I used to have another account that worked way better than this so I dont know what happened while I deleted it.

Recently got the update where it says that app wouldnt crash for iPhone 6 users ... still CRASHES !

I have had some fun times with this game. I really have. However, recently, this game has caused me way more anger than satisfaction. The new raid boss, Moltres recently came out, and like any other player I have wanted badly to catch it. So I went out with my friends, thought Id give it a go. Didnt get it first try. Didnt get it second try. Third times the charm right? I am currently 7 raids dry of Moltres (meaning I beat the raid but fail to catch the legendary). I am also not horrible at throwing poke balls, consistently hitting the boss with great throws and golden razzberries. The problem with this system is that you only get 1 free raid attempt per day, otherwise you have to pay money. And that I have. I am stuck in this endless cycle of spending money to get more chances because I dont want to give up while Niantic sits back and laughs. Niantic, if someone there is reading this (which probably isnt happening), please have mercy on my soul and set me free from this endless turmoil so that I may have fun once again playing a game I used to love.

I stopped playing the games a while ago, because niantic took so long to release the "amazing legendary" Pokémon, they finally released the legendary Pokémon to the public after almost 2 years of waiting, I love the idea towards how you can catch these new legendaries, but Ive been trying for about a week now, and I just cant seem to catch one, its either Im extremely unlucky, or, the game is rigged, and Im getting very tired of it. The one thing Ive been looking forward to, almost seems impossible to accomplish. Its a thumbs down for me, and trust me, a game needs to really piss me off for me to get out of my way and make a dumb review. ?

This was a lie. Crashes just as often.

So remote gym feeding is back, gyms turn over and Spark has come back to us. Its solid, but I cant help but wonder what else will happen to cut short any enjoyment of the app.

I try to attack raid bosses but whenever I play, the game does not "accept" my dodges. I clearly dodged the bosses attack, it even says I dodged but then I lose all my health. Please fix

I was looking to change up my avatar when I noticed that there werent many color or clothing choices. Itd be nice if there were more options that didnt cost pokécoins.

2 snorlax ran away from me with ultra and golden razz Ill probably never get one because trading will never come out you lazy. Noobs of game designers. And heaven forbid I hatch one because Im too busy crying over the last ten k eggs I hatched witch were both suddoowoodo thanks a lot ?

First off, I would like to say that this game has changed my everyday life! Im a lot more healthy. If your a rural player who cant play, rather than spoofing or complaining, buy yourself a main series game. They are MUCH more fun than sitting in your house playing Pokémon Go. Walking and meeting new people is half of the fun!

I am a huge fan of Pokémon Go and have been since it came out. The new legendary Pokémon are awesome. The only thing is I wish there was trading. People should be able to trade Pokémon with each other

When I got this game I tried going outside to play it but I didnt move when I was walking so I couldnt play the game.

Make it easier! My Grandma,My mom, and me are fed up with this cr*p! We have been in 100F. and are still not getting legendaries! Make it a 20% catch rate please! We have tried to get him and still cant!

Love this game and I ate a turtle

When this game was first being released I as well as the rest of the world was obviously psyched up to catch some Pokémon in real life. I started with VR on which was a very cool feature to add to the game but after a while became obsolete lol but no matter. In either event I dont have many gripes with the game, everyone is going to have their own opinions about what should or should not be added to the game but I think Niantic has been doing a stellar job for the most part. If anyone from Niantic does read this by sheer luck however, some bugs that you may want to look into that I have experienced are that in raid battles a lot of the time after one of your Pokémon dies it is not replaced with the next one in line and in fact sometimes will replace it with a Pokémon that had already fainted and subsequently faints again upon reentering which wastes precious time in a raid battle. On top of that there have been times more and more frequently that I have gotten bounced out of a raid battle in the middle of it and had to log back into the game which takes way too much time to successfully win the battle. I do agree with other users in a particular sense that as far as legendary and similarly high raids are concerned it is very difficult to win in the majority of areas that are not extremely popular i.e. large cities like Boston or LA but one suggestion I could make to Niantic that isnt too large of a request I would think is that if there is a raid battle going on perhaps the gym could somehow relay to any player walking around how many players are currently battling in the raid. It is definitely frustrating to be in an area where there very well could be a lot of people doing a raid like a shopping mall and you spend your precious only free raid pass of the day and come to find your the only one in it and are screwed lol. In any event, I love the game and as far as a lot of the bugs are concerned I can completely understand that it is largely due to the surge in attendance especially during special events. I will gladly take the goods with the bads as long as Niantic keeps up the good work.

I have been playing the game since August and I absolutely LOVE it. I enjoy getting out and walking and even meeting new people because we are chatting about the game and what each other has caught. My only negative on the game...I have visited so many pokestops like hundreds, and only received 2 special items. And those were the first day of the Gen 2 update. After talking with others, they are just as frustrated as well and some havent even gotten one item. I hope you guys change this so its a little easier to receive the special items. Thanks....other than that...the game is AWESOME!!!
