Waste of money tbh

App is alright but the only feature that is worth actually paying for is the Hondo radar and it just disappears off the app all the time

Response from developer

Thanks for reporting this! The radar disappearing was a real bug, not intended behavior. We've pulled Hundo Radar temporarily while we rebuild it to be more stable. We'll update this reply once it's back! I hope you'll give it another look then and are enjoying the other features in the mean time :)

Needed suggestions

App is pretty good to see what’s currently raid-able, what’s the possible backgrounds, its weaknesses, shiny availability, BUTTTT-

I wish that the shiny rate was able to be seen when I’m looking at a single pokemon not on just the podium screen, and for the shiny rate tab with the podiums, make it to where the raid tab shows current raidable pokemon only, I don’t want to see the shiny chance for a raid that’s not available. Those are my only two complaints / suggestions!

Response from developer

Really appreciate the detailed feedback, both of those are great suggestions! Showing the shiny rate right on the individual pokemon screen instead of only the podium view makes total sense, and filtering the raid podium to current raid bosses only is a smart call too. Adding both to the list for a future update. Thanks for taking the time to write this out!

Radar Glitch

Every time I close the app, the radar disappears. The only way to get it back is to uninstall and reinstall. If that were fixed, it might be worth the subscription.

Thanks for reporting this! The radar disappearing on app close (and needing a reinstall to fix it) was a real bug, not intended behavior.

$5 a week?!

Every useful feature locked behind a $5 a week paywall. Not to mention the features are barely useful lol, not even worth $5 a month.

Response from developer

Sorry the features didn't feel worth it, that's fair feedback and we'd like to fix it. If you're willing to share which features felt weak or missing, reach out to support@simply-viral.com. We use input like that to shape what we build next and would love to hear more from you.

Ueteg

It helps me get the best counters for every raid and shi so like get it

Response from developer

Glad to hear you like the raid counters feature! Happy shiny catching :)

Good but pricey

Its a good app with good features but its expensive.

Me like

Me like it….. It very good….. Me like good

great app

i have caught like 5 hundos (no shiny cus i dont wanna pay for the sub lol) but was wondering if we could get a offer for lifetime use

It’s great

This app helps out a lot on things that you need to know like events etc

Locked

The only future worth while behind an outrageous pay wall lame!

Make it cheaper

Good but it’s money for half of it

Layout broken

The layout is broken on a IPhone SE 3 for most of the Home Screen and selection screen. Great app just a bit buggy

Response from developer

Thanks for reporting this! This issue should now be fixed, I hope you'll give it another look.

Go companion

It’s ok it just a better part but you have to pay for that part

More shinysss!

With this app I am catching a lot more shiny pokemon and I definitely recommend this app

Response from developer

More shinies is what we like to hear! ✨

Too many paywalls

I think the app is a very good idea and is extremely useful. However, many of the important features are behind a paywall and it makes the app pretty useless unless you pay for the subscription.

????

This app does not work at all :/

Response from developer

I’m really sorry to hear that, that’s definitely not the experience we want anyone to have. If you’re open to it, please reach out to us at support@simply-viral.com with a few details about what isn’t working so we can look into it and get this fixed for you!

Decent so far

I downloaded the app today, the actual idea of the app is really handy but I have two problems, one is annoying the other is just mostly a concern. Firstly the fact that the shiny rates are locked behind a pay wall is terrible, I know you have to make money but having to pay for one of the main features is bad. Secondly for some reason when you make the QR profile scanner, everything works apart from the character limit, it is not the same as Pokemon go’s one, meaning my pogo username is too long for this app. I am thinking about waiting for other people to review the pro version and depending on their opinions I might try it for a while, and I will update this review to include my thoughts on it.

Don’t download

It’s never up to date it could be mid week and they still don’t have all the info for new raid bosses or field tasks no point in keeping an app that never works like it’s supposed too

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re continuously updating raid bosses and field tasks to keep everything as current as possible. If you ever spot something specific that seems off, feel free to reach out at support@simply-viral.com, we’re always working to improve the experience!

Finally an app for people who like hatching eggs!

I thought it was completely random the pokemon that show up in eggs, but now I know when to filter out my eggs for events to get the pokemon I want. Hatched a shiny charmander today!!

Response from developer

That's amazing! Thanks for the amazing review and updating us on your success!

Thank you for my shiny swim psyduck!

I got my first one from the psyduck promo timed research I redeemed from the promo tab and my second I got from grinding the field research tasks the app told me to do!
