Pokémon GO App Reviews

The most noticeable bug in this update is an issue with the Team Leader images. When I go to Appraise a pokemon, another teams Leader appears instead of mine, saying the exact same lines my leader says but with the wrong image. Ive tried restarting and uninstall/reinstalls and the bug is persistent, happening every time I hit Appraise. The update is now generating strange in-game network errors too. If its taking its newly inordinate amount of time to transfer catch data, but you tap on a pokemon it disappears and throws up an Error message. The maps now take a lot longer to update and load to your current position if you had the app open earlier in a different place and didnt force quit it afterward. The maps also disappear from view into an ugly white fogginess before the perceivable in-game horizon since last update. Its a weird and somewhat annoying UI change. Lastly, bring back training at Gyms! The berries system does not replace being able to train at your gym and get better at battling. Why even have the training badge there if its inaccessible for everyone? On that note too, add berries to the shop if its going to be something trainers need to use more often.

"Gotta catch me all!" Good luck there. Ive become the loser NPC from red and blue who has no poke balls but a collection of common lame pokemon. My daughter likes the game but maybe we can include more pokemon in rural areas with greater variety?

The app seems faster but can we turn off the animations after level 30 or something. I get tired of waiting for the game every time i get to a pokestop or a gym.

Constantly needs to close and reopen And then it freezes again

iPhone update, when I go to load up the game it says it has an update. I select ok then it takes me to app store where my only option is to open which then takes me back to the update screen which puts me back in the same loop again

You are not able to feed the Pokémon the berries with an error "Walk closer to interact with this Gym". For the Pokémon sitting on gym prior to the latest update, "go to gym" is not functioning at all. App frequently crashes, especially on highly traffic area when you access gym. Once I spent almost an hour for a RAID BATTLE and always got satellite error and App crashed when the timer ticked to zero, and lost my daily raid pass when boss Pokémon disappeared. You really need to have a good app development team and QA team! How could this release pass UAT test and published live?

With this last update I can not get onto my account. I just got back into playing and now my account is lost. Thanks a bunch? seriously I am so bummed. So I now have to decide to either start all over or just give up on the game entirely. Please help me fix my game

Does nothing but crash. Ive tried and tried. Deleted the app then waited a month, redownloaded it and still wont f*cking work.

Slow and laggy at best.

Every update fixes some problem I didnt even know I had, but theyve done nothing but compound the problem of lack of spawns/stops in some areas, and also destroyed the gym meta we all worked hard. Raids make rare Pokémon way too easy to get (if you live in a city, that is).

Spend all of your time trying to hit a gym that says youre too far away even tho youre standing on the spot, then if you actually get to battle there will be so many random shut offs, crashes, and errors that you never actually get to place your own Pokémon. Pathetic

GPS signal can never be found. Ya cant play if the game cant locate you!

Every time I have a pokestop streak going, theres always an update (its seemed like its seriously been every week) to mess up my day. And of course I cant update without wifi because the app is too large ? Can we just go a little while without it being required to update to play???

you fight a strong pokemon to get a weak one at the end of the gym raid makes no sense for that i rather catch it out in the wild...and what happen to the coins if u stay at a gym????

Its a good game, but whenever I try to go to the gym from a far distance to feed my guy, it says network error

Dear Niantic, YOU REALLY NEED TO LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE. THE UPDATES HAVE BEEN GETTING WORSE AND WORSE!!! BE A GOOD COMPANY AND GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT!!! They want the app to stop crashing, all pokéstops to be available, even if they are a passenger, BETTER UPDATES, and more Pokémon around the players area. Niantic, if you dont listen to the people, they will all begin to delete your app

Curious as to why I hatch so many baby Pokémon, again and again. Ive been playing since the start and there are a few Pokémon I have yet to catch or hatch. I guess I am falsely believing the really rare Pokémon would come out of the eggs. Hmm? I get mantines and babies (never tyrogue, but all the others).

I really do love this game but... One thing you guys need to improve upon is Rural Pokemon Spawns California cant be the only really good place for Pokémon Go. Some people cant just drive into the big city to play and when they do the spawns arent really great. And they dont have enough pokestops in their area to refill on poke balls eggs all that stuff and lure. If you guys want to build a community out of this game you really need to improve spawns in rural areas. I know you have been working on Portal Recon with Ingress but it still hasnt improved anything only few new stops have been added in most places In most rural areas if you look around all you will see is Pidgey, Rattata etc and their gen2 counterparts. Nothing rare every spawns in rural parts of the country. I dont spoof myself but If you want people to stop spoofing you need to improve spawns in their areas. Even with the cluster spawn update a while back 90% of the clusters are all the common stuff in rural areas. Also some Pokémon are extremely hard to find in certain areas. A diglet, mankey or machop shouldnt be as rare as a lapras or dragonite. And if you think raids help the rural spawn issue they dont because few people will be playing in rural areas at the same time and people end up having to solo Raid bosses and they cant because the rural spawns are bad and they dont have a lot of counters for bosses so they still cant get those rare Pokémon they need. Also Regionals should be made open to everyone because not everyone can travel to Austrillia for a Kangaskhan. And with the Raid system Ive noticed some flaws. I was participating in a magmar Raid by myself it was in the red health and just like that regains 50% health and then time ran out and I still dont have 1 magmar in my dex also you shouldnt have speed locked egg distance because some people especially kids will play in the car and it will take them 10x as long to hatch eggs. KNOW I have said a lot but you seriously need to improve the RURAL Spawns. Before trading, breeding and all that come out you need to add more pokestop and improve spawns in rural places

Okay Im an instinct member... and this is a bug I found When I was appraising a pokemon, team valors leader showed up instead of my usual spark ? she stills says the same lines spark does too! Considering I beat two valor gyms last night, Im slightly intimidated by her appraising my pokemon, as if shes trying to figure out how I was able to take down such high level gyms (even though valor took it back over in 7 minutes)

I think my phone has a faster start up time than the app does.
