RIPOFF!!! ### 1/5 — Horrible!!👿 *2017-03-11, version 10.1* It only works if u live in Boston!! ### 1/5 — Only works if you live in Boston *2017-03-07, version 10.1* Supposedly this is clear in the description... you can request your location to be added and it * might * be added... but being that the only place that seems to show Pokémon is in Boston and I live in California I doubt my location would be added. Might be a good app if it expands... and if it comes to California and I don't find another app to track Pokémon before that happens, I will give it another shot and even rewrite the review. For now it is useless to anyone unless you live in Boston, but for Bostonian Pokémon fans this is great! The app's staff do get back to you right away if you have any questions on their Facebook page, so 5 stars for responding & I would guess 5 stars for Bostonians (the map tracks a ton of Pokémon there!) but as a California girl it doesn't mean much to me. I should have guessed that this app was temperamental when it doesn't have a rating yet. **Developer response:** Hi, Susannah! Thank you for your review. We were, as we promised early on when you downloaded Beacon GO, working on expanding. Now, we have added a lot of new locations, including some California spots. Please check it out. Also, we would appreciate if you would update your review to reflect the app as is, rather than neglecting it. Feel free to chat us up on Facebook again anytime if you have any suggestions for further improvements. 😊 Many thanks! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2017-03-02, version 10.0* Only shows boston ### 1/5 — Fees *2017-02-27, version 10.0* Trash don't bother with this app ### 1/5 — Lies *2017-02-26, version 10.0* Subscription fees of 2.99 a week... rip off ### 1/5 — Not free *2017-02-17, version 8.0* Don't pay for this lol ### 1/5 — Does not connect to serve. *2017-01-31, version 7.1* Doesn't connect anyways always gives errors. GPS is all over the place and never has you in the right location. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2016-11-16, version 7.0* App has potential but it doesn't scan for Pokémon anywhere except somewhere near Oslo for me. Since I live in Santa Monica, I even purchase the additional location for $1.99 and still doesn't work. Don't waste your money or time. ### 1/5 — Broken *2016-11-02, version 6.1* Bad app does not work ### 1/5 — Bad *2016-10-06, version 6.1* Whenever I try to change the location it kicks me out of the app ### 1/5 — Boston only *2016-09-24, version 5.1* This app only works in Boston unless you buy another for $2 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 ### 1/5 — Force to buy membership *2017-05-27, version 12.2* Its auto renewal and cant even stop the payment no option to stop paying ### 1/5 — This is STUPID *2017-05-02, version 12.2* The idea is good but I am not going to pay 3 bucks a week for a membership ### 1/5 — Really? *2017-04-27, version 12.2* I can only scan places in Boston!!!! I'm not paying three bucks a week for a stupid "membership" ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 5/5 — Please add more areas in Florida *2017-07-05, version 13.2* This app seems great, but I really can't use it, because they haven't added Naples or Fort Myers,Florida.I would love to try this app, just please add these two locations. ### 5/5 — I LOVE IT!!! *2017-03-23, version 11.2* It's so helpful ### 4/5 — Huntsville tx *2017-12-31, version 18.0* Can you add Huntsville tx to the list ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2017-02-22, version 9.0* At first it wasn't sure but now I'm catching all sorts of Pokémon a little bit off on the gps but 4 star review ### 4/5 — Yo *2016-09-12, version 4.1* Please allow us to see every location cause this app would be sick if it did ### 4/5 — Cool *2016-09-10, version 4.1* It keeps on showing me in Boston I don't know why can you fix this problem ### 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. ### 3/5 — Let us scan everywhere *2017-03-18, version 10.2* Good app, has potential, but please let us scan everywhere for FREE. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
