Pokémon GO App Reviews

I love the game, but I have a suggestion for a new feature. As the raid bosses are sometimes extremely difficult to beat without a large party size, could you add a feature that allows players to request help on a raid battle? Something that would pop up over an active raid battle that tells you there are other trainers nearby waiting to take on the raid boss but need help. This could aid in bringing people together if trainers dont have a large group of friends who also play the game. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

The new system of gym battles (raids) is pretty cool. However, I am continuously receiving network error messages when I try to fight gyms the traditional way. This may be a fluke, but it has happened four times in a row now and is very discouraging. Hopefully it gets patched in the near future.

Make raids more accessible for rural players not just players in cities. Im sick of just watching utube videos on people doing raids. I want do them myself but there arent enough people to do them with. Make the cp of the raid boss dependent on the amount of players.

The game so far reminds me of the blue and red versions from the game-boy days, but what is causing problems are the server issues and minor game bugs. And hopefully they add an auto sign-in option, or a way of saving the login info, aggitating to always sign-in each time. And when it comes to the raid system, I dislike that you have to use a pass to join a raid, not knowing that there arent other users, a preview of how many other users joined should be shown. And as for joining a raid, for example: if I join a raid for a specific Pokémon, then the gamer should be placed in a lobby system, waiting to be matched with users trying to attack the specific Pokémon as well, no matter what state or country the gamers are playing at...

I really like the whole game. The mechanics work well and the game is smooth and not choppy. I just REALLY wish that when I go into my Pokedex to look at the Pokémon Ive caught that when I tap on a seen character that it shows me WHERE I saw that Pokémon. Please read this and consider having it in your game. Thanks!

Thank you for the recent updates with full detailed tweaks. Transparency is everything.

July 2016, the application contains bugs, normal thing because it is released on this date. July 2017 even bugs nothing changed except the addition of 2G, and steep. Conclusion, get out your fingers

This game was amazing as long as it lived, but people only paid attention to it for 4 months.

Love it! A good game to encourage people to get out and fun for all ages

Game freezes constantly during gym battles and raid, not to mention random network errors and lag that makes it nearly unplayable. Hoped the bug fixes in v1.39.1 would help but it still hasnt loaded to iOS Canada app store for me to update my game .... may give up on the game soon though recently started buying items in-app instead of just free play....

It is lots of fun and a pretty great company to make this for us!

Ive been playing this game for over a year now and spent a lot of real money on it. Today when I went on the app it had deleted all my progress. Ive tried getting help from the Pokémon trainer club and google but it keeps bringing me back to the new game. I expect to be reimbursed.

Just go out and buy a 3ds and play a REAL Pokemon game lie sun and moon Pokemon oras pokmon x an y. trust me there worth the 50 dollars and there not pay to play

I got 3 gyms and the game lagged and didnt give me any coins

Pokémon go, is an awesome game, but apparently Niantic isnt very concerned about how many people play their game because of the recent updates. All this began when the time for Pokémon to spawn was changed from 5 to 10. Not a big deal, it was still fun and promoted walking. Then, there was a small grace period before they released their second fatal update. They scrapped their tracking system. SERIOUSLY? THEY REMOVED THE ONLY WAY TO FIND POKÉMON ACCURATELY! That also removed all third party scanners, which literally was the only reason most of the players actually went to catch Pokémon. But more advanced trackers like FPM survived. Then they killed any form of hope by adding a captcha robot detector feature. Which removed all the advanced third party scanners. Being able to actually know where the Pokémon I wanted to catch were was the only reason I played Pokémon go. But I still played for a while by riding my bike and running certain trails. But then, the final straw was when Pokémon ceased to appear if you walked, ran or biked too fast. Now, all I can do in Pokémon go is walk around at the speed of "Old man" to catch a pidgey or two. Or if Im lucky, a rare and elusive rattata. Thats how much I care at this point. Pokémon go lost like 90% of its players because of Niantics wrong decisions. Also, seriously, the buddy system is is complete and total garbage. "Let me walk 5km to get 1 candy for my eevee!" And dont forget about Pokémon gos high end "nearby" tracking system. Which is completely broken. There was a koffing on the last slot (which means it was the farthest away) and suddenly it appears right in front of me. All in all, I dont think Niantic even cares about this game anymore. They removed key features and made the game unplayable. "prepare to be the very best like no one ever was, because they are throwing out all that made Pokémon interesting and keeping the part where you walk back and forth in the grass until something happens" UPDATE: SERIOUSLY NIANTIC Daily rewards?! Is that honestly the best you can do??? When will trading and player battling come! by this time next year, Pokémon go will be history if you dont start putting your priorities straight, do you want to end up like hello games? UPDATE 2: CRAP TRACKING Once again you let us down, we were thinking big, Trading! BATTLING! LEGENDARIES! Some even went as far as to say GEN II. But instead of all that you bring us... The removing of tracking for rural areas... and a few measly, useless, baby Pokémon. And the worst of all, (though old news) you cant collect pokestops while riding to school, or going to the mall in an uber. UPDATE 2.5: "Thanks" Thanks for adding expensive boxes that are only accessible to people that beat gyms every day since Pokémon go came out. You better watch out, you better update, you better improve Im telling you why... Consumers are disappointed with youuu UPDATE 2.6: Ive had an epiphany. Even though it was pretty obvious, This game had the potential to stay in the top 5 grossing, because they are using a franchise most people would love, they had the opportunity to implement many features that could have made the game SOOOOO much better, they had the resources, but they didnt have the skill... Out of all the app companies... out of all the great app developers... They had to choose the most incompetent, most useless and crummy app developing company... Niantic. they have only had two apps before Pokémon go " Ingress " which I have to say, most people like it but it still looks pretty crummy and poorly made. And that other "nature walk" one I dont even want to talk about. All in all, we have to face the facts... "Niantic" is incompetent UPDATE 3: Its too late Its too late Incompetent Niantic, your game is DEAD and theres no saving it. At magic kingdom where there are supposed to be a TON of people that play pokemon go, but there are only venonats and garbage like that. No matter what you do to try to revive this game, its already over, you are done, THIS GAME IS DEAD, even my diehard pokemon go friend is starting to quit, no one even remembers this game anymore. UPDATE 4: Wow legendaries were released ON ACCIDENT after their event was a total fail, can this get any worse???

I honestly really love the game and can Tell you guys are working hard on improving it I feel like if you try to bring back prayers you shouldnt focus on new generations you should focus on features like trading or pvp

The legendary raids were crap and didnt even show up have the time by the last three days of articuno being out. Whats up with not getting any coins for some Pokémon in gyms.? Frustrating.

You know its come a long way. Only complaint is lack of candy. Id play the game more of it wasnt 3 miles for a single candy to evolve my guys. If you like Pokémon and walking youre set. Its great to go with friends and just go around town. I can say with new updates I enjoy this game.

Im in the hospital...

Lacks support for players outside of a major population center. I live in Las Vegas, NV about 30 minutes from the all too popular strip. Most of the pokestops in town are at the strip or shopping malls. If you visit your local park you might have 1-3 pokestops. Is this game designed for people to travel by car to a high traffic area just to play? That would be this games down fall. I dont mind walking around my neighborhood for several blocks but theres no point without pokestops. Seems the only way to get poke balls is to buy them or drive to a park everyday and spend 3-4 hours spinning stops for a chance of getting balls. People dont want to be strong armed into buying something. Update your map with more pokestops!!!!!!
