This app needs to be taken off the App Store

Before Niantic made changes to the app back in March/April, the app was working fine. It was a decent, usable app. But since then, most scanners including this one have been unable to continue operation, and unless the original developer of this app or anyone else gets a functioning scanner going, don’t bother downloading any of these kinds of apps off the App Store.

It’s a trap!!

This app is absolutely worthless! It doesn’t show any Pokémon and didn’t even have my city located on the map (Tulsa, Oklahoma). Also, it wants you to buy into subscriptions: sounds like a money pit app to me!

Locks up, weekly price a joke

I grabbed this app thinking it would really help seeing as I’m in a sparely populated area, but it opens to Knoxville every time, and if I try to change it, it locks the app up and I have to force close it. A weekly 2.99 price point is unnecessary, when most of the basic options really shouldn’t cost anything. If nothing else, make the more advanced features pay points to unlock, and the basics free.

Since I can’t even get this app to track any location but Knoxville, I’m calling it a complete bust.

The app only monitors one town

The app seems promising, but the location is stuck in Knoxville, TN and only notifies me of CP 0 raids.

It doesn’t automatically find me, and when you try to manually set your location, the app crashes. I tried to send feedback through the app, but it wanted me to create a Facebook account, which I don’t want to do.

Don’t bother

When the list of cities it works with is so limited it’s pointless. If I can’t scan locally it’s no good to me. It will only let me scan Knoxville Tennessee. I’m in Upstate New York. Not helpful.
