I haven’t even utilized the rest of the features on this app but I’m Sure they are great. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-08-30, version 8.17.0* For making this game playable ### 5/5 — Great addition to step up from a causal catcher to a Pokemon Master *2026-08-30, version 8.17.0* IV checking-raid joining-team building- keyboard icons all around this app does what I need with no issues iv been using it for years. ### 5/5 — Amazing for remote raids *2026-08-30, version 8.17.0* Amazing but they may be late on when raids release but it’s not common ### 4/5 — Okay *2026-08-29, version 8.17.0* I think is a pretty good app indeed but the only problem is the host side for how long you have to wait ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-08-29, version 8.17.0* It’s really good because if your town is small or doesn’t have much pokemon go players you have more accessibility for harder raids because then you have people to help without having to go through some pain of finding people or doing it yourself ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-29, version 8.17.0* All the features work screenshot and name a pokemon the Ivs free trial but no subscription just a 1 time purchase $4 and the remote raids in app are free just only not on pogo ### 5/5 — Big hit with me *2026-08-29, version 8.17.0* The best site for those in remote areas with not allot going on, or if u just can’t get out and raid in person. Love the concept, love the app!!! ### 5/5 — Jajaja *2026-08-29, version 8.17.0* Neman’s ### 5/5 — Literally Amazing *2026-08-29, version 8.17.0* I rarely pay for apps but this one is worth it. The name generator and IV scanner are soOo helpful. And the fact you can join a raid anytime or get people to help you in your own raid is AWESOME. Idk what I would do without Poke Genie thank you for maintaining this app! ### 5/5 — Works great! *2026-08-28, version 8.17.0* Makes raiding so much easier when you don’t have enough people to join. Simple, easy and fair. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-08-27, version 8.17.0* Love how it’s easy to use joining a raid is awesome, you get in quite fast and if you’re in a queue then you can close the app and come back to it later. ### 5/5 — Enjoyment *2026-08-26, version 8.17.0* I am so happy to have found this! I spent so long hoping to join big raids, and now thanks to poke Genie it’s possible! ### 4/5 — Raid Limit *2026-08-26, version 8.17.0* This app only good for small raids if you going for G-max raid you’ll most likely time out because of the wait time on raid event days maybe extend the time ### 5/5 — Thing in the world for Pokémon GO *2026-08-26, version 8.17.0* So you have to pay three dollars to get infinite raid slots to show you the Pokémon that you need it still is great even if you don’t pay it still tells you the best Pokémon that you have to be the right it even tells you if you can be dirt or not if you go to all Pokémon and even will tell you the best Pokémon in the game to beat it with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Can’t play Pokemon Go without this app *2026-08-26, version 8.17.0* I’m apparently not even using this app to its full potential upon reading other reviews! I use this app all the time to make sure I have the best/highest rated Pokemon. I literally wouldn’t want to play Pokémon Go without it! :’) Must have app if playing PG ### 5/5 — Great app for remote raids *2026-08-26, version 8.17.0* This app is amazing for remote raids and getting friends worldwide for gifting in Pokemon Go ### 5/5 — Amazing, but collection management is frustrating *2026-08-26, version 8.17.0* Ok I changed my review back to 5 stars because this is the only app I’ve found that can automatically scan pokemon AND their movesets. It has a lot of really useful features, almost all of which are free, and the paid ones are mostly quality of life. The raid finder feature is the only way I manage to do 5 star raids these days. But I have to rant about the way you manage your pokemon in the app. If you buy the ivision add on, it will sometimes mess up scans (notably when it scans as the appraisal is loading), or for no apparent reason it’ll scan an old Pokémon and think it’s a new one. The app has a feature where you can merge 2 scans that are probably the same Pokémon, but it doesn’t always show up. Even if you have 2 scans of the same pokemon with the same CP, HP, and IVs, it often won’t be able to tell they’re almost definitely the same pokemon. It seems like an obvious thing to code for, which makes me confused at why I still have to manually find and delete things like that. The app should really flag scans like that and let you go through them instead of you randomly realizing you have a duplicate. Besides that annoyance though, the app is great. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Raid host flakes *2026-08-30, version 8.17.0* Raid host will send an “I sent an invite on Pokémon go” when it isn’t true, they did not even friend you yet. Waiting for an hour sometimes longer for certain Pokémon. The host should have to prove they sent friend requests and raid invites before they click sent invitation in poke genie. I’m tired of waiting so long for a person to lie about sending an invite and I have to wait forever again. Of better cause you sick right now ### 1/5 — Annoying *2026-08-26, version 8.17.0* Every time I use this app it asks me to write a review, even if I’ve already given a rating/review. So I’m giving it 1 star and will continue to do so every time until it stops asking me. ### 1/5 — Not 1 star but 5 *2026-08-25, version 8.17.0* Did not mean to push 1 ### 1/5 — Scan Pokemon *2026-08-22, version 8.17.0* I tried to scan my Pokemon over 10 times took A LOT of screen shots AND tried to broadcast and it would not even check ANY screen shots but 1 that popped up that was not even a Pokemon I’m trying to see PvP ivs and get good teams for raids but the app dose not even try to do ANYTHING ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-08-20, version 8.17.0* every single raid i join the host never sends me an invite after i added them ### 1/5 — Do NOT get this *2026-08-19, version 8.17.0* It either takes an hour and a half to actually start or just doesn’t give you enough people. Have fun wasting time and money on raid passes. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-08-17, version 8.17.0* Sucks ### 1/5 — SO BAD *2026-08-15, version 8.17.0* I got suspended for leaving a groudon raid so darn stupid ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-08-09, version 8.16.1* Sucks ### 1/5 — Clunky & Pay-to-use *2026-08-08, version 8.16.1* Terrible user interface and useful features are locked behind paywalls ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gg *2026-09-02, version 8.17.0* This has made my Pokémon experience better. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-09-02, version 8.17.0* So great for raiding ### 5/5 — Best ever *2026-09-01, version 8.17.0* Best decision ever I could be happier with everything about this app. ### 5/5 — Best Pokemon go App Ever *2026-09-01, version 8.17.0* I GOT A SHINY LATIOS THANKS TO THIS APP! You can do raids across the globe, and make lots of friends in the process! It’s very, very fun! ### 5/5 — PokeGenie *2026-09-01, version 8.17.0* This app is great and very helpful ### 5/5 — This app help me go undefeated *2026-09-01, version 8.17.0* Downloaded this app to help me sort with what pokemon are good for PVP after my local TCG league started doing GO, I went undefeated during our worlds celebration this last weekend. For it to be completely free and most information is free is incredible the best app for competitive GO battling ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-09-01, version 8.17.0* Amazing ### 5/5 — Perfection. *2026-08-31, version 8.17.0* It’s maybe not the best or most advanced choice but it does what it needs to do and it does it really dang well. If you have remote raid passes, here’s your chance. The only downside is how some parts of it trust the players telling the truth too much, but it’s not that big of a downside. ### 5/5 — Makes Pokemon Go much more enjoyable *2026-08-31, version 8.17.0* Being someone who can’t really go out much to play, being able to get good pokemon via this app makes PGO actually have long term playability. ### 5/5 — The best *2026-08-31, version 8.17.0* I have my complaints there have been times people don’t bring appropriate counters and my remote pass is wasted but it’s mostly rare at this point. This app has been my saving grace to get some of the more difficult raids done. Love it to death😁 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
