I have improved my excellent throws. Could you consider a mute button? Maybe consider moving the targets. Thanks for this app. ### 2/5 — cash grab *2023-06-26* in terms of simulating the games ball throwing mechanics, it’s pretty good. the problem stems from all the ads and the fact that you only get one ball to use every minute and if you want unlimited balls, you need to pay ### 4/5 — Decent *2022-01-15, version 2.7* This game really is not that bad. It has all the working mechanics that Pokémon go has and is helpful to learning how to throw better. Although a few things that need fixing are selectable target size, and time that the ball comes back. ### 3/5 — Kids game *2020-09-11, version 2.7* The app keeps closing out on me!!!and is really boring and plain,It’s something my younger kids would play... BUT I AM THROWING 3stars y’all’s way,Because of your effort and time that you wasted making this game ### 2/5 — The Mechanics Do Not Work The Same *2019-11-15, version 2.7* If you buy this app you may get good at throwing an excellent curve ball to build a forest but it will not help you to learn how to throw excellent curve balls in another game to compete research tasks. Only a dollar so not a big loss, but my recommendation if you are wanting to learn a better curveball is go to a stop or an area of town with lots of mons and practice on the real thing. I was able to achieve my excellent curveball by throwing a Taurus mons because the circle is much bigger. ### 2/5 — Purchases *2019-10-12, version 2.7* Was actually fun until I had to purchase... ### 4/5 — Very good *2019-07-11, version 2.7* This is the best app out there for practicing Pokemon go throwing, in fact the first throw I tried after 5 mins was an excellent throw! The only things that could be better are the graphics and how long you have to wait to got another ball, but altogether it’s a really well made app and worth downloading. ### 4/5 — Worth it for full version, but not as precise as it could be *2018-09-20, version 2.5* Great app, has definitely improved my toss game, although the UI is pretty poor and the feel isn’t a 1-1 match for training. The ball physics feel slightly off compared to the virtual monster collecting game that will not be named. With some work to improve the feel, generally improve some of the UI, and a bit more content to keep me locked in, this would be 5-stars. Honestly the game is pretty fun by itself too, even if it’s got a crappy MS-paint designed look. ### 4/5 — Good Target Practice *2017-08-24, version 2.1* Helped improve accuracy. I wish they gave more than 20 balls though. ### 5/5 — Fun throwing action! *2017-08-10, version 2.1* Feels really smooth! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — THIS GAME SUCKS *2026-06-24, version 2.7* THIS GAME SUCKS IT REWUIRES U TO PAY TO EVEN GET MORE BALLS MOST PEOPLE ARE IMPATIENT LIKE ME AND U NEED TO MAKE THE TARGET MOVING LIKE HIW POKEMONS IN POKEMON GO MOVE ### 1/5 — App is a cash grab no no reason to pay for it *2024-05-16, version 2.7* Game gives you 40 free throws then try’s to make you pay for more don’t download gash grab ### 1/5 — Throws are not similar to Pokémon go *2023-08-04, version 2.7* I do not recommend this for Pokémon go throw practice, since the throws are not as similar and half the time it won’t even throw as far as it normally would in Pokémon go. ### 1/5 — Greed *2021-04-02, version 2.7* You are forced to watch long videos to continue practicing your throws. You can skip the videos by paying $1 and getting unlimited throws. Definitely not worth it considering the bad coding used to build this app. Hard pass ### 1/5 — Terrible execution *2021-02-19, version 2.7* This game is not really even a game, and I downloaded it for practice on a throw for another game, and while this could’ve been a really good thing to practice in my spare time, you continually run out of balls and have to watch ads or pay money, and even then, the game functions horribly. Download it, get the balls it gives you immediately, and delete it. If you keep it longer than then it’s a waste of time and storage. ### 1/5 — Boring and feels different *2021-02-17, version 2.7* This game which is supposed to help you with excellent throws doesn’t really help throwing the poke ball is feels more stiff and harder to throw this game is also very boring like there is nothing to grind for ### 1/5 — Trash *2020-07-08* Adds ### 1/5 — Dont buy *2018-06-17, version 2.5* It seems to mimic the pokego mechanics well so take the free throw practice when you can, but don't purchase. The game bugs out; it resets and then pretends you never bought the app. Submitted ticket to app developer with no response. It’s .99$, but why buy a lie. ### 1/5 — Have to pay for more balls. Not worth it *2018-04-03, version 2.4* This is a great idea, and it was fun to practice for a minute, but then I had to pay to get more balls when I ran out. It’s a very accurate game, but there’s no way I’m sitting through 30 second ads to use it every time I run out. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Not accurate enough *2018-01-12, version 2.3* Doesn’t replicate PGO throw mechanics to any useful similarity. Throws feels sluggish at times, far too generously accurate at others. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — confusion *2025-01-14, version 2.7* how am i supposed to really know if i made an excellent throw idon’t know but other people may be like its easy this game looks fun ### 5/5 — Honestly so helpful *2024-11-21, version 2.7* I don’t think I’ve ever left an app review before but this changed the game for me completely. Great job! ### 5/5 — Great tool, still has potential *2023-10-20, version 2.7* Physics feel true to Pokemon GO. But I’d love to see some options for the targets, like them moving or blocking throws (similar to Pokemon GO). The full version is a very reasonable price. The game isn’t amazing to look at but it works for what it is. The devs could probably fix this by using watercolor art. If the devs continue to maintain this game and ensure it’s accurate to Pokemon GO I can see this becoming a community essential for practicing. ### 5/5 — Endless Practice! *2022-08-30, version 2.7* This app is just what I wanted: endless chances to practice my curveballs without wasting my GOkemon balls in actual play. I want to get that wrist flick down perfectly, and since this app shows me that all my throws land in the upper right quadrant of the goal, I have a better idea about how to improve. No frills, no thrills - this is the batting cage for GOkemon PO. Thanks!! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-06-19, version 2.7* This App is good for people who are trying the master curveballs in Pokémon Go. I would personally recommend. ### 5/5 — THANKS! *2017-11-29, version 2.3* This was a great idea because I want to train for legendary Pokémon raids!! Love you!! 💋 ### 5/5 — Awesome Throw Trainer *2017-09-03, version 2.1* I highly recommend using this app if you are looking to be more effective catching Pokémon. Using this app is certainly cheaper than buying balls! I hope they add the third level soon! ### 5/5 — Great Practice!! *2017-08-24, version 2.1* The throwing motion is exactly like the game. Well done! ### 5/5 — Helpful! *2017-08-12, version 2.1* This app was helpful to correct my curve ball placement. It shows where the ball hits, which explained why I was missing PoGo excellent throws when I thought for sure they were landing. The physics are 99% right. I think the app balls throw slightly "heavier ". It's hard to explain what makes it feel subtlety different than PoGo, but the difference is small enough that it doesn't really matter. You will still find the app useful if you don't already throw consistent excellent curves. In a future update, I'd like to be able to select frequently desired Pokémon from a list and have the app set up the corresponding distance and hit box size. If this can be updated to support future Pokémon generations, that'd be great. I'd also like to be able to practice the technique ProdigiesNation uses on his YouTube videos for catching legendaries. He first locks the circle size down by holding and releasing his finger without spinning, then right after the Pokémon attacks, he throws the ball. It's hard to practice waiting for an attack without your finger touching the screen, then starting the throw in such a small timeframe. ### 5/5 — Updated for legendary practice! *2017-08-11, version 2.0* Seems to take the mechanics of Pokémon Go and turn it into a fun mini game. Also helps improve your throwing skills. Really fun and good game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
