I’ve been using the app the past 13 days and I’ll say it is a great app for raids. However today my account was surprisingly restricted without an explanation provided. Although I did submit an appeal, it doesn’t seem like if there is an issue you’re not readily able to email or contact support to resolve it. I’m not sure what the issue could have been for the restriction. But for it to happen during the anniversary special and have no way of knowing what I did wrong or how long it takes to resolve the issue I think is worth mentioning. ### 4/5 — The trainer card creator is good. Other stuff too expensive. *2026-01-24, version 1.2.70* The trainer card creator is good. Other stuff too expensive. Developer added the option to choose level beyond 50. I could now set Kevel to 70. ### 3/5 — 便利ではある *2025-11-20, version 1.2.70* ただ広告がマジでゴミ なんで勝手に全画面で動画再生すんの？？？ ### 3/5 — Was good.. until *2025-11-12, version 1.2.69* Amazing app 100% would’ve recommended to anyone, but recently I’ve been hosting raids and no one would join. It would show people were waiting and if I was to check how many people was hosting the same raids it would show none. I’ve never had this issue before so I’m not quite sure what to do either but it’s happening more than once, after the 5 min timer for raids I’ve hosted another one to try get people before the raid finishes and it hasn’t got anyone. ### 2/5 — NoFlag'UPDATE'?!🙄 *2025-09-18, version 1.2.69* Why did you remove flags from friends? Some of us collect Pokémon eggs from all over the world now we don't know where these yrainers come from!! DUH... ### 4/5 — Better than poke genie but could use some improvements *2025-09-11, version 1.2.69* First off I do think this app is better than poke genie for raids. It allows you to just post a raid and if it fills, it fills, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t vs waiting for 500 other people in a queue. I’ve hosted many raids on this app successfully. Including Gigantamax. However, I have a few suggestions. One there’s a bug after hosting a raid when I come back to the app it refreshes and I’m unable to rate my guests. My rating was high and dropped rather low and I suspect it’s because of this bug and as people couldn’t give me a thumbs up after the raid and instead had people giving thumbs down probably because they maxed invites. But I always double check everyone gets invited. Also, it would be nice if the app posted some information about rating their host and giving them a little leeway if they take a little bit of time to send them an invite because often the host are coordinating with people in person so the raid invites are not sent out instantly. Unfortunately, the system had me in a five star and now I’m down to a three star which makes no sense because I’ve only hosted 15–20 raids? Also, I wish I had the option of sending a chat message to everyone in the raid group as well as individually because sometimes I need to coordinate with others I’m raiding with off the app. Group chat makes more sense and less prone to abuse to. Having to send a message to each individual person in the raid group is a serious pain and it takes time and let’s face it that raid clock doesn’t stop. Overall, four out of five stars and thanks for a great app! ### 2/5 — Big L *2025-09-02, version 1.2.69* Ive downloaded this app as a hope for getting few friend who can give properly gift from their own region but this app is full with ppfffeh peoples they mark themself who wants best friend , deal with gifts etc. If i send them 1 gift they leave me empty handed . If i dont they delete me anyways , few just dont do nothing at all . Dunno how good the raid part cuz genie is more than enough but the friend list part is a 110% waste of time . Good luck for you o7 i tappin out ### 4/5 — 不具合 *2025-08-23, version 1.2.69* とてもこのアプリには感謝しているんですけどキョダイマックスエースバーンを集めようと思い招待画面に行ったんですけどありませんでした ### 2/5 — Why My App Is Crashing *2025-08-21, version 1.2.69* It looks like your app is not working for remote party participation. Why your app is not working all day could be due to several reasons ### 4/5 — Better than poke genie but could use some improvements *2025-08-18* First off I do think this app is better than poke genie for raids.

However, don’t pay for any of their services. Spent $20 and received nothing, customer service will not respond. SCAM ### 1/5 — うーん *2025-03-14, version 1.2.67* 自動優先参加がエラーになります。 4時間くらいずっと待ってコレは悲しすぎるのでもう使いません。 ### 1/5 — Banned *2025-03-01, version 1.2.67* Hosted successfully multiple raids. Invited and rated all participants, but got banned… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 広告が鬱陶しい *2026-07-18* アプリを開いたあと広告を見ないとアプリを使えない仕様になったようです。 その広告の時間が長い。そしてやっと終わったと思ったら、広告を消すボタンが出ない。何秒待っても出ない。更新ボタンやその他のボタンを押すとまた広告が始まる。その繰り返し。鬱陶しすぎます。 他の方も同じようなレビューを書いていますが、運営の方の誠意ある対応が感じられません。口先だけの「ご意見ありがとうございます。ご不便をおかけして申し訳ございません。今後もフィードバックをもとに更新していきます。今後ともよろしくお願い申し上げます。」なんていらないです。早く直してください。 ### 1/5 — Won’t let me do anything. *2026-07-10, version 1.2.80* The app was good at first. But now it’s just giving me a full screen of error codes and won’t let me do anything ### 1/5 — Scammed *2026-07-10, version 1.2.80* Just got 300 PAID plugs taken from me on the day of GoFest raids. Literal scam, don't bother ### 1/5 — Scammed *2026-05-24, version 1.2.72* Paid for plugs, payment went through, but received an error on the app and I am now out of $12.99! ### 1/5 — I used to use this app daily *2026-03-04, version 1.2.70* For the last year or so it is completely useless for finding raid partners. I haven’t been able to successfully host a raid in about a year and if it does give me anybody it will only be 1 or 2 people. ### 1/5 — No players coming *2025-11-20, version 1.2.70* Earlier players used to join the raid. But now in 2025 nobody joins the raid. During go fest , raid hour and go wild event nobody joins the raid.If we delete the app we have to start from beginning again paste our trainer code , level and username. Other raids apps like pokegenuie and go raid party saves information when we delete the app and again return to app our information is saved. Players join gigantamax battle in your app but at the time of battle they leave lobby ### 1/5 — 最近はトラブルばかり *2025-11-01, version 1.2.69* ダストダス戦に海外出張して来ましたが、リモパ消費、たまご、かけら装備でいざ討伐。 1戦目はレイド中にエラーメッセージと共に強制退場させられ、2戦目は無事討伐成功かと思いきや、ゲット画面でダストダスに出会う事なくお星様画面…初めて見た。 無駄にアイテム、リモパを消費するだけでした。オススメ出来ない。 ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-10-01, version 1.2.69* This app USED to be good. Now it’s a complete waste of time. In the last week I’ve tried to join over 50 raids on here and have only received an invite ONCE. This is despite only joining what are supposedly 5 star hosts. They also don’t do anything when you thumbs down or block said bad hosts. The developers couldn’t care less. I have even spent money for invites to not receive them and they won’t refund you as long as their fake hosts click the “raid started button”. So his app is a total scam. Only redeeming quality is that it lets you add people for vivillion. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-08-21, version 1.2.69* You add players for the raid and only 1 or 2 of them show up even if they send a friend request!!! There’s no way to stop players from doing this with this app! ### 1/5 — 終わり *2025-06-26* 荒らしが多すぎるので、レイドパス10枚で1レイド行けるかもしれない...！という宝くじが好きな方におすすめ。1週間くらい使いましたけど、ユーザーの8割くらいが自演と荒らしでした。評価システムは機能していない ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — One of the Greats *2026-06-01, version 1.2.72* One of the best apps i use to get into remote raid i’ve used it like 6 year probably, and never disappoints ### 5/5 — LO RECOMIENDO *2026-02-14, version 1.2.70* Es muy útil, la verdad lo recomiendo ### 5/5 — Nice app! *2025-11-20, version 1.2.70* Nice app to ww raid, but only got 5x times a day for raid is too small 😭 why not make free 20x raid invitation please? 🥹 ### 5/5 — 普通に良き *2025-01-04, version 1.2.67* なんか評価低い人多いですが普通に便利です、 ### 5/5 — Great and Fast! *2024-12-01, version 1.2.67* Started using this week and it is super fast and convenient to get people to group up. ### 5/5 — Best app for raids ever 🫡 *2024-11-14, version 1.2.67* This app is too good after knowing and using this app I am able to host and join raids easily now my Legendary collection grew up by 40🥳 ### 5/5 — Honestly better than poke geni *2024-08-21, version 1.2.67* Reallyyyyy good app you can add lots of friends and get into raids very quickly and for free🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ### 5/5 — バグってずっと接続ができない *2024-08-03, version 1.2.67* の ### 5/5 — あ *2024-06-16, version 1.2.67* チート神 ### 5/5 — ✨1 *2024-02-19, version 1.2.67* 1 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
