The team rocket line ups have not updated. I have reinstalled the app already. Cliff has shadow magikarp and Arlo has mawile in game but the app shows Cliff has larvitar and Arlo has wobbuffet. ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect… *2026-01-18, version 5.0.1* Dark Mode is Great! Checklists need autosave, especially for premium. Checklist input needs to be processed faster. Would be cool to see the app leverage widgets as well. ### 3/5 — Mostly useful *2025-08-19, version 5.0.1* App used to be up to date on in game changes (rocket boss lineups, raids, eggs). It has not been lately. Also no max raid lineups. ### 3/5 — Update your rocket lists *2025-06-23, version 5.0.1* Decent app, but they really need to keep on top of updates. Rocket leaders not updated in ages for example ### 4/5 — needs an update *2025-04-09, version 4.0.3* Would like to see the app make use of time sensitive notifications (eg, spotlight hour), dark mode icons, et cetera ### 3/5 — Open/shut down *2024-12-17, version 4.0.3* A great app! BUT… for the past several months, it shuts down after several seconds, every single time, no matter how many times you restart it, making it barely usable. Yes the app and my OS are up to date. I did look for a way to inform the developer but this seems to be the only way. ### 3/5 — It okay *2024-05-19, version 4.0.3* I’m a noob so all this is rather new to me. I do know that the Ditto list needs updating. I caught my Ditto a couple weeks ago catching Oddish and a friend caught Koffing and it changed to Ditto. There is a lot going on with this app which is why I’ve Int rated 3 stars. Perhaps when I get more experience under my belt and understand it more I’ll give it more star rating. ### 3/5 — Love this app but lost all my data *2023-12-01, version 4.0.3* I really enjoy using this app to keep track of events and my Pokemon. I’m not sure if it’s because I got a new phone but I just noticed my checklists are all empty :( is there anyway to fix this? ### 4/5 — Great, but missing something *2023-09-02, version 4.0.3* I think the biggest feature this app is missing is the current spawns for the hemisphere and event, though that mig require a lot of extra work. ### 4/5 — It’s very useful and easy to use how ever… *2023-09-01, version 4.0.3* The app has a few bugs and glitches for me because when I tap pvp while reviewing yvetal it kicks me off you know, so please fix these. ### 5/5 — INTERFACE *2023-03-28, version 4.0.3* Level up is useless bc the number slide blocks use ### 5/5 — 10/5 star app *2023-03-07, version 4.0.3* First I just want to say, I never write reviews. How ever I feel very compelled to leave this review. It is perfect and has EVERYTHING I was looking for IN A VERY productive easy to use way. It’s quite frankly perfect. Please keep it the way it is forever. ### 2/5 — Falling way behind on events. *2023-02-20, version 4.0.3* This app used to be on top of the events coming up. Pokémon Go tour Las Vegas just ended with no mention. Right now we have Primal Rumbling to get a free ticket to play Go tour Las Vegas Global coming this weekend. None of this is on the app. I tried emailing them before posting this but the email link in the app does not work. ### 4/5 — Upcoming events *2023-02-10, version 4.0.3* I was wondering why the next seasons Community days have been added but the Hoenn Event hasn’t been added. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — RATED X! *2026-01-17, version 5.0.1* SEXUALLY EXPLICIT CONTENT IN A FAKE AD! ### 1/5 — Lame *2025-03-26, version 4.0.3* No instructions and half leads to a broken website. Annoying even after paying for no commercials, Leak Duck website has the same stuff except for a few that are not intuitive and lead to a website that redirects to unavailable YouTube. ### 1/5 — Current tasks not listed in app *2025-02-08, version 4.0.3* There is not a way to contact this developer by email and the related twitter and Facebook accounts last posted nearly a year ago. Current event tasks are not listed on the app and no way to report. Confirmed most recent version is installed. Will update rating after resolution and update. ### 1/5 — Field tasks no longer being updated *2025-01-13, version 4.0.3* Field tasks no longer being updated ### 1/5 — Premium useless *2024-12-27, version 4.0.3* Premium doesn’t provide any benefits. Still have to watch ads for smile points. You’d think if you made 1 purchase they’d offer at least 1 free Trainer Code posting. Save yourself the $2.50 and info sharing ### 1/5 — Pay the premium and still get hit with ads?!? *2022-12-11, version 3.4.1* What is wrong with this developer? I pay a monthly fee and yet you still include advertising? Not cool! ### 1/5 — Resets Game *2022-05-04, version 3.4.1* I have an iPhone 12 and this game takes up too much memory to use this and Pokmon GO at the same time. I use the field guide for two seconds and my Pokemon GO has to reset and load itself again. I missed out on a Gabit because of this app. I assume its due to the ads and the app having to call the Silph Road website API to provide information like current field research tasks and current in-game events. Terrible app to use. ### 1/5 — Time wasters *2021-03-26, version 3.4.1* Too many time wasters just trying to gain friends for gifts before assisting themselves and others to win raids. Feeling very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Too big too slow *2020-09-05, version 3.2.2* The app is too big in RAM and causes the Pokémon app to force close in the background when switching. On top of that, the app is slow to operate. Tap something and then lagggggg then it opens the new page. Good info, but this app is half baked. I wouldn’t pay to support this unless it had VAST improvement. ### 1/5 — Yes and No *2020-07-29, version 3.2.1* Super helpful app, but the idea that I have to watch 15 adds a week to list my trainer code is outrageous. I’d rather pay your greedy hands a monthly fee than have to sit through 15 ads. It’s ludicrous. The other features are helpful and nice to have, but the smile points garbage is ruining my experience with this app. Please consider another model to get paid than subjecting us to 15 ads a week. Come on. I’ll change my review stars if this is taken care of. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great guidance app *2025-03-03, version 4.0.3* I like this app because it guides us the players with the most current events and accuracy ### 5/5 — Perfect for PoGo Events *2024-12-11, version 4.0.3* Perfect app to see all types of upcoming/past pogo events and their information thats available in app. Including links to everything. Most used/useful feature is easily adding any event (spotlight hours, ticketed and seasonal events) and its information to a calendar, and set reminders. Contains more information than in app links/banners if they exist in app, Unobtrusive adds, constantly updating events and info. No need to find scheduled event info anywhere else. ### 5/5 — Almost Perfect… *2024-11-18, version 4.0.3* Dark Mode is Great! Checklists need autosave, especially for premium. Checklist input needs to be processed faster. Would be cool to see the app leverage widgets as well. ### 5/5 — Cool *2024-10-29, version 4.0.3* Amazing game it’s just you should add where you can find Pokémon in your town or city other then that perfect app! ### 5/5 — It helps me get ready until the raids comes *2024-07-04, version 4.0.3* Best app for Pokémon go ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-02-21, version 4.0.3* This is the best ### 5/5 — Love this for my Calendar *2024-02-12, version 4.0.3* One request is to see if there is a way to have a calendar set as default when adding to your calendar. It always selects Work and I have a designated Pokemon calendar that I put all the activities on that is shared with my family. Otherwise I have really enjoyed using the app to keep up with all the activities that are going on. ### 5/5 — Trainer’s 1 asset *2023-10-14, version 4.0.3* Pokémon go,a masterfully executed game that is played during real time. Weather casual or full-time player this app will give you the tools you need to accomplish whatever the game presents. ### 5/5 — Go Field Guide *2023-09-21, version 4.0.3* SO THE BEST ### 5/5 — Great app but *2023-09-04, version 4.0.3* The “best pvp” page often fails to load entirely. Otherwise its a super helpful app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
