Please update for 2026
It works fine on iOS so far as of this post on June 9 2026. However it's no longer working on older android devices. I will probably guess it doesn't work for android anymore in general since Pokemon go made changes to detect 3rd party accessories. :(
Terrible
Fix this thing! How hard can it be?
Devices are garbage
I love the convenience of playing with auto catchers. Closest i get to playing a lot and can farm the data. Has gotten me many a shiny.
The con of the devices is that they are garbage. One in five might work as advertised. And your waisting money trying to get one that works. I hate the new one as it is a down grade from the original. The pro is better connectivity at the cost of cheapness and the battery life. You are lucky if you can get one that lasts longer than 2 months. I started repairing my own to extend battery life and even swapped the battery for a better one. Thats compatible. Niantic has nerfed all the fun in the game and this is the closest i get to playing a lot. My job does not let me take community day off so this plays for me. Never missed one since.
Filing an ftc complaint abt these things being garbage and your company refuses to allow consumers to enact the one yr warenty.

Gotcha rip
It worked beautifully for a little over a month. I’ve asked for a refund or replace but no response.
Connect on iPhone
Recently I have struggled to connect the watch to go-tcha app but I think I found a trick to make it work. If connecting fails go to iPhone setting/bluetooth/Pokémon go plus/forget device. Once it is removed go into the go-techs app and click connect. Pair the device and the setting pop up. Hope this helps some people.

I can't get it to shut up
Does anyone know how to shut this thing up? This app certainly doesn't! Sure it has on/off button but neither that nor the vibrate work.
Is there a way to apply or save settings before disconnecting?

Stopped connecting
What did the last update do? Connectivity is very spotty to not at all now?!?! Please fix it.
IT BROKE MY GOTCHA
As soon as I tried to connect it to the app it messed up my gotcha, it repeatedly tries to connect and it doesn’t stop!! Even when I deleted the app closed Pokémon go and turned off my Bluetooth it was still trying to connect to nothing. I then tried turning on my Bluetooth and connecting it and nothing happened, DO NOT USE THIS APP IT WAS MADE TO GLITCH YOUR GOTCHA!!! 😡

I need ANSWERS
I deleted the app because I got frustrated with it, and when I tried to redownload it, it asked for by billing number thing, but it didn’t show that the first time. I don’t have a credit card either, and there is no where in the app to pay anything. So “Go-Tcha” I need answers please…
Terrible
Watch will not update, and it constantly vibrates while showing the currently outdated firmware. It also constantly disconnects and reconfigures settings on it own. Go-tcha needs to figure out the issues and fix them. Extremely frustrating after spending $60.
Has worked fine as long as I’ve had it
Hoping it updates along with the Pokémon go plus devices allowing us to use great balls and ultra balls. My only issue is randomly it just disconnects me for no reason. Bag isn’t full. Pokémon bag also isn’t full. Other than that it works perfectly most of the time so I can’t complain much
Battery percentage?
It used to show battery percentage, now if the battery has 1% or 99% , it says battery ok. Aren’t these updates supposed to make the app better? Can’t wait for the next update.
No way to update firmware
There’s really no use for this app other than to update the firmware on the watch itself. However the app doesn’t even do that, there’s no prompt, no button to press & connecting the watch doesn’t start an automatic update. Seems my watch is to be stuck on version 1.0.1 forever.
Not worth it
After. I got on Christmas it was working but then 2 days. Later it won’t connect nothings I HATE YOU
No connection
My go tcha keeps desplaying a x on the pairing to phone part,I’ve already looked up how to fix nothing has worked.
no way to update on ios app,
i cannot find anyway to update on IOS the app does not function the way the android version does on youtube. there is no way to update th firmware.
Not discoverable by the Pokémon Go app
It will connect with the Gatcha Evolve app. It’s currently on version 1.0.0 which apparently is the version the newer gatcha evolves are supposed to be on. However, it will never show up to connect to the Pokémon Go app when put in discoverable mode. Pretty sure the device is a scam with false promises that they will fix it.
DO NOT BUY!!!

Don’t Trust the Haters!
Work a lot, so was looking for a way to help my Poke GO experience. This watch?? Game changer. It’s so easy to use, and the manual is very comprehensive and explains what all the alerts mean. The watch does not disconnect very often, it disconnects after maybe an hour or so which is an easy fix! Open the poke go app, tap the Pokémon go plus icon (looks like a poke ball), and tap the button on your watch, and you’re good to go! I think the people who are having issues with the watch are breaking it themselves. You do have to be gentle with the usb charging end, you plug it straight into a USB port and the metal side needs to have contact with the metal in the USB port. Seems like common sense, but some people can’t figure it out and damage the charging connector. I just love that I can fully customize my experience. Wether I’m down on items, hands full, or looking for quick xp, I can turn on only the features I want. I love seeing the notifications popping up when I’m in a really busy area, or getting 6 notifications driving by a city plaza and got 6 poke stop spins effortlessly. It feels like cheating, but it’s not! 10/10 would recommend, you can’t beat it!
