Pokémon GO App Reviews

I enjoyed playing but then every time I do there goes the battery... I used the low battery options too. It would be nice if Pokémon you didnt have made a different noise when they appeared or if you wanted to be alerted of certain Pokémon to level up when they appeared with a different sound versus all of them having the same sound 95 % of the time it is junk as in I already have that Pokémon.

I really do find this game enjoyable. I like the fact that you have to get out into the world. I think the new gym format is much better than before, gyms were such pain before. I even think it was wise of them to add a walking companion. There are however somethings I would like to see added or changed. For instance like several others i think the ability to trade Pokémon with other players would be a great addition. Id also like to see something like gyms where you can battle other trainers, but where you can actually battle trainers live. The traveling buddy was a nice addition a while back making it much easier to evolve Pokémon, but I do think itd be way better if players could walk around with up to 6 Pokémon. Itd allow players to feel like actual trainers, plus wed able to carry around Pokémon who need way to many candies to evolve, like magicarp. If not then reduce the number of kilometers we need to travel before we have enough to evolve em. Id also like to see a few changes to the raid boss system. It gets pretty frustrating when you have wait 116 or so seconds before you can battle a raid boss itd be nice to have way to skip the timer for bosses thats beatable even when going solo, or have the option of joining a raid battle thats already underway for the more challenging bosses like the legendary birds.

Personally, I cant get enough of Pokémon Go. Never have I ever been so intrigued by a mobile phone application for such an extensive period of time, but I can honestly say I have played for at least a few minutes every single day since the games inception. In trying to please everyone, changes are necessary to be made at the expense of the few. I think most of the people who critically judge this app are expecting way too much for a FREE app that operates on an incredibly large scale. There are bound to be problems but regardless, with the recent release of generation 2, the game has me hooked just as it did the first time around. Thanks Niantic! Just waiting to hear more about trading now...

Im running iOS 9.0.1. The game crashes when I try to open it. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the issue persists.

The gameplay itself is not horrible, but the "behind the scenes" work is trash. With constant crashes and crazy high requirements to do anything or get anything powerful, the game is very improperly balanced. Niantic needs to balance the game better while improving nearly all the inner workings of it. It still kills my battery life.

I love this game so much and I play almost everyday, but you NEED to fix the motivation issue! I had my Pokémon in a gym for almost a week and my motivation was about half, now, I leave them there for 5 hours and its less than half! Every second is a point lost! Ridiculous, you said you fixed it, now actually fix it!

I played Pokémon ago almost every day for a year until the gym updates when even the iPhone app started to take a minute to load on my iPhone 6. The graphics are also laggy on my android for even basic things. Battery drains faster than ever on all devices. Cant complete a gym raid without the app crashing, getting stuck in battle with no Pokémon out or just simply freezing. PLEASE remove the bloat and simplify the app so it is fast again. Im not going to play a game that takes 1-5 minutes to load. I am sad because I loved Pokémon and still do. Bring it back please.

:(

I love this game

Love the update.. Ao glad to have my Team Leader, Spark back, and I do love knowing from whence my Pokemon originated. Remote feeding is SO handy, not to mention knowing where you left a Pokemon. I dont just drop em and forget em. But... There are also still serious network errors and issues when networks switch from LTE TO WiFi, causing the game to error out. And theres one more problem... Storage. Theres just not enough Pokemon storage space. Ive updated as far as I could and its not enough!

This latest update is very buggy. We were better off with the last version prior to this one. Although the potion issue freeze, my team leader changing and a few other freeze/crashes are annoying, the latest problem is way worse. The first issue is a problem with Moltres is specifically on iPhone pluses only. Prior to the update my wife and I battled in a Moltres raid and both of us caught it no problem. 6 raids later, after the update, she couldnt catch a single one as the distance when Moltres is low to the ground is much much different than the other 2 legendaries for her iPhone 7+, while on my 6s regular I have not experienced this and caught all but 2. I even tried to catch 3 or 4 on her phone and experienced the same issue of the premier ball falling short when it shouldnt have or passing through the Pokémon. And if you try to compensate and throw harder you either overshoot or just hit the top of the head and dont even get nice or great throw, which is what I almost always get and havent experienced this on my phone or on hers prior to the update. Its like there is no middle ground on the throw when Moltres is low, and only when Moltres is high can I hit my great throws. Issue number 2 compounds the frustration as after the update my wife and I havent been receiving the gym control bonus for extra premier balls and have heard reports of others not either. This is very frustrating as an instinct player since its usually rare that our gym is the one controlled during the raid, not to mention fewer instinct players available in the raid to receive the team bonus. Ive often had only 5 or 6 premier balls to catch it and my wife and I again have spent a lot of money on raid passes to catch the legendaries. This really needs to be fixed quickly as I feel like were wasting money now.

Fun but very unreliable app

I liked the tracker from when pogo first came out

Can you please make it so it does not need a gps I only have an iPad Pro and I dont want a phone and I want to play it but it does not work without gps

Would really love it if you were able to restart with out having to make a new email

You need a hardware thing in your device and I sucks even though you can see Pokémon stuff

The amount of crashes and errors that this game gets a full year after release is absolutely ridiculous.

a couple of times when my Pokemon return from there gym I do not get pokecoins can you fix it?? Bugz125 team instinct

Ive been playing PG for long time now and its fun. All thats missing is TRADING POKÉMON WITH FRIENDS!!!

It is a good game but when u have an account on gmail and you delete the game and you download it again the gmail option doesnt show up and all your stuff is on there you cant get it back unless you delete again and then download. Also you should be able to get back your poke coins when u havent used the item that you accidentally bought and for the clothes I accidentally bought the jeans and I spent almost all my coins so please have an option to trade it for the coins that u bought it with. Also we should be able to combine our accounts.
