### 1/5 — This app needs to be taken off the App Store

*2018-08-15, version 18.0*

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.

### 1/5 — It’s a trap!!

*2018-06-30, version 18.0*

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!

### 1/5 — Locks up, weekly price a joke

*2018-05-25, version 18.0*

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.

### 1/5 — The app only monitors one town

*2018-04-20, version 18.0*

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.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2018-04-10, version 18.0*

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.

### 1/5 — Only certain spots

*2018-04-08, version 18.0*

No NJ NY PA DE MD data availability

### 4/5 — Huntsville tx

*2017-12-31, version 18.0*

Can you add Huntsville tx to the list

### 1/5 — What an I️ paying for? This app is trash now.

*2017-12-12, version 17.1*

So is this app just wasted space on my phone now? It’s been broken for months

### 3/5 — Works well, but only in the heart of large cities

*2017-10-24, version 17.1*

It's a concept that has been around since the beginning of Pokemon GO. The app itself delivers all that you'd want from a tracker app, but the limitation that it only shows you the downtown area of only the largest cities means that the app will be all but useless to the vast majority of players. If you live in one of those large cities, great for you! Enjoy the app.

### 5/5 — Great App. Need more trainers!

*2017-10-19, version 17.0*

App concept and implementation along with the features are great...if there were more that used it. If more trainers were on here communicating I think it would be much better. Needs a heavy marketing push to be successful. Monetization is way too fast, upon logging in you are greeted with all these amazing features that will be stripped within a few days. Kind of a slimy sort of model in my opinion. Keep the all functionality free except the cream on the top, like limited messages or something.

Good job developers, and I really hope it takes off!
