### 3/5 — It is generally pretty good but…

*2022-03-24, version 1.4.3*

There are some major issues. Like not all Pokémon are supported, Charizard for example. Notifications continue after the room is closed. Closed raids still show up in the availability list.

I use it a lot bit it could be better.

### 2/5 — One major problem

*2021-12-27, version 1.4.3*

I have several accts on my phone and when I switch accounts it doesn’t register. I get out of app and get back in I’ve tried rebooting my phone information is correct but the app doesn’t k ow I’ve changed accounts for some reason and people get invalid message when it should be valid. 
Can’t raid when it does this

### 3/5 — Refresh

*2021-09-25, version 1.4.3*

Can we PLEASE for the love of all Pokémon have a Refresh button because it has been so dead as of lately and rarely see any raids. Please

### 3/5 — Frustrating trying to join popular raids

*2021-09-15, version 1.4.3*

I’d give this app a higher rating if it weren’t for the fact that I can’t join a single popular raid because the raid room is always full before I can even click on the room. It shows up, I go to click on it to join, and by the time I click it says something like “Oops, someone else pressed the fingers very fast, there is no invitation left in this room please try another room” almost like the app itself is taunting me. It’s honestly frustrating and something should be done to fix this and give people a better opportunity to join raids rather than spend hours on end trying to join raids because they can’t click faster.

### 4/5 — Rating raid chat only one thing really needed and I give 5 stars

*2021-08-02, version 1.4.3*

So first off this is a absolutely amazing chat for raid ! It’s my go too when I am stuck at home for what ever reason and my 7 year old loves playing PG with me. The ONLY thing I would change about this is the set up by selecting how many people can join your chat room to battle . You can invite up to 10 people by sending out the first 5 invites then as soon as some one jumps in you back all the way out and renter the raid and at this point you can send 5 more invites ! The chat only allows 6 if I’m not mistaking and 1 of those are including yourself. And because of cool down mode you can’t post back to back to get another 5 in with you. I would really like to see that added ! Other then that I love this app!!

### 3/5 — Raidrooms

*2021-07-28, version 1.4.3*

Good way to get into raids remotely, but nothing verifying “weather boost” when room host says it is. Many hosts say it’s weather boosted just to get people to join. Then you use a remote pass join the raid and find out they lied and it’s not boosted.
There needs to be a way to report violators so they get suspended from starting raid rooms or eventually banned completely if that continues.

### 4/5 — Great app. Few missing features.

*2021-07-26, version 1.4.3*

There are a few QOL improvements that the app could use as well as being a little slow sometimes.

The app also NEEDS a way to report people and remove them from the app. Just encountered a player using horrible racist profanity who needs to be removed ASAP.

### 4/5 — Ok not great

*2021-07-24, version 1.4.3*

Would be better if we could see and choose raid types and move into a queue.

### 4/5 — Pokémon Go chat

*2021-03-25, version 1.4.3*

It’s an awesome app but it needs to be fixed, because I tried to find tier 1 and 3 star raids and it only showed me tier 5 and mega raids. Also I wish we could send pictures and have other ways to communicate to each other about other raids too.

### 2/5 — No queue system

*2021-03-11, version 1.4.3*

I like the concept. I don’t have time to sit for hours trying to out click other players.

### 3/5 — Too many notifications

*2021-02-28, version 1.4.3*

Way too many notifications, even after I close the app they keep coming through.  Have to turn off all notifications, which reduces the functionality of the app.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to be working

*2022-08-02, version 1.4.3*

Raids aren’t even showing up after making them. Frustrating.

### 1/5 — Rooms are full in a second

*2021-09-18, version 1.4.3*

Click on the room as soon as it appears and always says someone else was faster. Hate this app! 😡

### 1/5 — Unable to Login

*2021-07-28, version 1.4.3*

App is up to date. I am unable to login. Screen just goes blank when I click to enter my password. Very frustrating

### 1/5 — Can’t even register

*2021-07-26, version 1.4.3*

Every time I try to register the screen just goes to black. The register buttons are hidden below the keyboard, so even if I get everything typed in, I can't reach the register button. Poorly designed for what looks like an interesting service.

### 1/5 — Perfect but imperfect

*2021-05-13, version 1.4.3*

5 minutes to kick someone that is not participating is too long. Usually people is not serious and you’re not able to kick them out

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2021-05-07, version 1.4.3*

First time I join a raid, it went great! I joined another one and the host left the game and all of us didn’t get in the raid? I wasted a remote raid pass. Looking to report host, I couldn’t find one .  This app was referred to me from a friend, but so far I like poke genie, since it guarantees me playing a raid and it ask how was it afterwards... need to ban host if they just leave during a game.  Disappointed user. Will only use this app at last resort.

### 1/5 — Life is too short

*2021-03-27, version 1.4.3*

Downloaded app. Tried for three hours to get into a raid and always was too slow. Three hours! I have better things to do than waste my time on this app. Deleting it now.

### 1/5 — Great but too many fake profiles

*2021-03-09, version 1.4.3*

I loved this app when I first got it but lately people have been marking raids as weather boosted that aren’t. Or they’ll add you as a friend but not send raid invite, just to get more gifts.

### 1/5 — Impossible to join

*2021-03-01, version 1.4.3*

By the time i hit yes when it asks if i wanna join, room is already filled up. 
They must work on improving more chance to join raids.  Stop asking twice if i wanna join, nobody would click the room just to ask if i wanna join that wastes time to prevent you joining the room. 
What do you mean if i wanna join? No wonder i clicked on it to join! No need to waste critical time to join the raid by asking if I’m sure I wanna join lol 
I won’t ever try to get in if I’m not sure about joining the raid first of all

### 1/5 — A good idea poorly implemented

*2021-02-22, version 1.4.0*

If you don’t have the worlds fastest internet and super quick fingers, forget about trying.  The failure to provide a queue for players is a massive blind spot by the developers. 

It doesn’t matter what the raid boss is. Basically only legendary bosses get shared here and once they change, so does the “warning” message. But there is always a warning that you’re not likely to get into a raid.

### 5/5 — Trainers

*2021-12-10, version 1.4.3*

I had this once before but uninstalled because of the raids at that time. But I wanted to get back online to capture better pokemon than I already have. The notifications are quick and I don’t mind the waiting but when a host makes a Raid and then just goes offline… I wish their was a way that the next trainer up can then host the raids to keep the flow going… other than that… everything else seems okay for now

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-08-12, version 1.4.3*

This app is very helpful if you want megas or legendarys, just make sure to stock up on remote raid passes!

### 5/5 — Great idea

*2021-07-19, version 1.4.3*

Still low volume but great

### 5/5 — Amazing app for Rading

*2021-07-18, version 1.4.3*

I love this app, and it doesn’t disappoint. This fix all the confusion of the raid system and help you find people to raid with. I did a raid and everyone send a friend request, I copy their name down, and we destroyed that Pokémon. I recommend if you want to raid.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-06-03, version 1.4.3*

Love that this was created. Makes raiding much easier

### 5/5 — Best app for raids

*2021-05-01, version 1.4.3*

Hands down fell in love with this app. I stay on it while running Pokémon Go. Best place to meet new players and raid to get exp and shiny legendaries!

### 5/5 — Game changing!

*2021-03-15, version 1.4.3*

Totally made POGO raiding easier and quicker...no more driving half the day looking for a specific raid or worrying about getting enough people...so easy and awesome!!! Really love this app!

### 5/5 — Fluffyhair0715

*2021-03-13, version 1.4.3*

Great success every time I use this app. I might not aways catch it but always great success rate when battling

### 5/5 — Quickest way to raid!

*2021-02-20, version 1.4.0*

Love this app!! It’s such a quick and efficient way to gather a group to raid with.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-01-23, version 1.4.0*

I didn’t have enough people to do a kyogre raid so I hosted one and got 5 extra people instantly. Very easy to host and join raid rooms and is one of the most useful tools for Pokémon Go.
