Simple. But why is no one joining my raids ?? It’s ridiculous. Sometimes people join then leave ### 4/5 — 👍🏾 *2026-07-11, version 1.9* pk tuỵet vời ### 1/5 — Pay to play *2026-07-09, version 1.9* Doesn’t list my raid unless I pay under heavy traffic! ### 1/5 — Pay to win and filtered with bots *2026-07-09, version 1.9* People get you reported and shadow banned for no reason lol ### 1/5 — No one will join my raid *2026-07-09, version 1.9* I spent an hour of my time trying to host a raid and I got a total of ZERO people to join my party. The only way to get people to join your party is to pay 15 bucks for a monthly subscription. It is not worth anyone’s time to try and host a raid in this app. ### 4/5 — Nearly Perfect; Missing Some Features *2026-07-08, version 1.9* This app is nearly perfect for finding raids. I think there are a couple of features that could get it there. The first is adding the ability for hosts to specify whether the boss is weather boosted. A little checkbox in the Host Party options would be easy enough for hosts & people seeking raids can choose if they want to try for a weather boosted boss. I also think the app could use a comment or note feature for hosts. It would come in handy if a host wanted to notify users that, for example, they had locals with them or if Party Power boost was enabled or that they'll be starting in a couple minutes so people don't leave because they didn't get an invite within 30 seconds of being added as a friend. It doesn't have to be a chat room; just something for hosts to relay a message to people who joined the raid. As someone who hosts and someone who joins raids, I think these features would be useful. At the moment there's no way to know certain things. This could help make the process more transparent and, for the people joining, it could help them make a more informed decision since remote raid passes aren't free or unlimited. ### 4/5 — One slight issue *2026-07-08, version 1.9* Everything about this app is great for people who aren’t experienced enough to be able to take on big raids with just a couple friends. The one issue I have is that when I’m out trying to host a raid, sometimes it just won’t appear? Like I’ll have friends check and they won’t see my raid. It’s weird, but since that’s my only problem I’m gonna continue to use this app. ### 1/5 — Inconvenient *2026-07-05, version 1.9* Was trying to do a raid and the filter wasn’t loading correctly and when the raid I wanted to do went away I was still tapping and joined a completely different raid. I left and tried to do another raid but it kept giving me an error unable to load data for every time I refreshed, tap to join a raid, or even touch filters. I even deleted the app and resented my phone and it still doesn’t go away. ### 1/5 — Only good if you pay £15 subscription. *2026-07-05, version 1.9* You literally sit for hours on end trying to get into raids whilst premium paid members take all of the raids. It’s not fair at all. ### 4/5 — Amazing tool of an app, but is missing a couple potential features. *2026-07-01, version 1.9* This app is amazing, not only for completing raids that either arent local to you or higher tier ones with less players in your area, but also finding more trainers to exchange gifts with for field research. but i feel like a bit more information should be allowed to be input when hosting a raid, such as if it is a shiny, or what the combat power scale is without having other users have to switch back and forth between the apps more often. Aside from that and a few bugs with the copy paste (which could be entirely local as i am running an ios beta) i have no issues or suggestions on how to improve this application, it does its purpose well. ### 1/5 — No one joining the party *2026-06-24, version 1.9* Why aren’t people joining it’s frustrating ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-08-18, version 1.9* I can’t do raids at the current moment this is usually not a problem ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-13, version 1.9* Absolutely useless I can’t even sign in it just stops loading pls jus try and fix it ### 1/5 — Pay to win garbage *2026-08-04, version 1.9* The app only really lets you catch legendaries if you pay a $15 a month subscription. What a joke. And because they have 10,000 suckers who do, you won’t connect in time for any lobbies before they fill up unless you’re willing to pay. Super disappointing flaming hot garbage. ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2026-08-02, version 1.9* They are forcing people to buy the premium if you don’t have it there is not much you can do. ### 1/5 — No one joined *2026-08-01, version 1.9* I could NOT JOIN ANY AND NO ONE JOINED ME ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-08-01, version 1.9* The app it good when you don’t have any raids but the bad thing is when a popular raid is happening it fills up quickly and with the premium user joining fast but us normal user can’t join and then it says party full then you can’t join ### 1/5 — Just get poke genie *2026-07-31, version 1.9* App works and allows you to join raids, but when you go onto pokemon go nothing happens. The servers cant handle high volumes of players, causing the app to not work either way. Its booty cheeks in a phone app ### 1/5 — Shadowbanned for no reason *2026-07-31, version 1.9* Whenever I create a lobby, nobody can see it. I have tested this with many friends by creating lobbies and none of them could see any of my lobbies I created when every time they made one, we all could see it. I am still waiting for them to fix my shadowban after two years. ### 1/5 — ソロにされた *2026-07-11* 確実にホストに入ったのに始まった途端バグか何かでソロにされ、一度バトルを抜けると人数が書いてあるのですが人がおらずリンクチャージとリモパ無駄にしましたみなさん気をつけてください ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2026-07-10, version 1.9* I pay for a premium subscription and still get nobody in my lobbies. Genuine waste of money ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Incredible *2026-08-06, version 1.9* I love to remote raid and it’s been distracting me from my day so much because I’m sitting waiting for minutes or trying to get enough people to come to a raid. I specifically downloaded this during Lake Trio release so I could get the regionals that weren’t released in the USA. Now I raid late at night and use all my remote passes so I’m not distracted all day. I haven’t hosted yet, but being hosted is surprisingly easy. Sometimes people cancel raids or they don’t get full enough, but that’s just human error it’s not the app. I’m a huge fan and I’m building a big group of worldwide raiding friends that I hope will keep inviting me when they raid. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-27, version 1.9* It is so good to get legendary Pokémon late game it is amazing to make friends and hosting and joining is easy ### 5/5 — ゴーレイドパーティー *2026-07-14* たまに自分のレイドが相手から見えなかったりそれの逆があったりするから解消して欲しい ### 5/5 — Super good *2026-07-11, version 1.9* It’s a great app to get in the raid but sometimes it kicks you out but when it works it’s awesome ### 5/5 — Perfect app *2026-07-10, version 1.9* Helped me so much first day on it and already got 6 legendaries! Great app ### 5/5 — Raid Central *2026-07-07, version 1.9* Most fun I have had in this game great way to help get new Pokémon ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-06, version 1.9* It is AWESOME ### 5/5 — Incredibly useful *2026-06-24* This is just too good, I instantly hop onto raids other apps take years to load and find a free server i would super recommend for someone who lives in a small city with no players ### 5/5 — Way better than campfire *2026-06-22, version 1.9* My brother who I got into Pokémon go told me about go raid party and after using it for one day I realized it’s way better than campfire because there’s so many more active users and the process of joining it also way quicker to do I highly suggest this ### 5/5 — Tips for newcomers *2026-06-05, version 1.9* An awesome app. Helps put those who can’t find buddies to raid with. Most parties will be bots at lvl 37. Do t leave unless you need to. Playing with bots are guaranteed a spot in the raids. Downfall is that some players will leave and join, be patient even though it’s annoying. Best days to play are Community or Event Days. New Raids will appear every 3 minutes. Last but not least it’s way much better if you’re a Premium member. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
