### 1/5 — $5 a week?!

*2026-07-31, version 1.5.2*

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.

### 1/5 — Locked

*2026-03-31, version 1.4.6*

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

### 1/5 — ????

*2026-02-16, version 1.4.4*

This app does not work at all :/

### 1/5 — Don’t download

*2025-11-10, version 1.4*

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

### 3/5 — Me like

*2026-04-25, version 1.4.7*

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

### 3/5 — Go companion

*2026-03-12, version 1.4.5*

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

### 3/5 — Too many paywalls

*2026-02-22, version 1.4.4*

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.

### 3/5 — Decent so far

*2026-02-12, version 1.4.4*

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.

### 4/5 — Good but pricey

*2026-05-19, version 1.4.9*

Its a good app with good features but its expensive.

### 4/5 — Make it cheaper

*2026-03-21, version 1.4.6*

Good but it’s money for half of it

### 5/5 — Ueteg

*2026-06-24, version 1.5.1*

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

### 5/5 — great app

*2026-04-14, version 1.4.7*

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

### 5/5 — It’s great

*2026-04-12, version 1.4.7*

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

### 5/5 — More shinysss!

*2026-02-23, version 1.4.4*

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

### 5/5 — Finally an app for people who like hatching eggs!

*2025-10-17, version 1.4*

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!!

### 5/5 — Thank you for my shiny swim psyduck!

*2025-10-17, version 1.4*

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!

### 5/5 — More shinies since I started using this

*2025-10-16, version 1.4*

I use this for every event and it’s noticeably bumped up my shiny count. The notifications tell me when raid bosses rotate so I don’t waste passes. The live field research list makes it easy to chase the right tasks to get the shinies you want! Definitely recommend if you grind research tasks like me!

### 4/5 — Layout broken

*2026-03-14, version 1.4.6*

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