Zero moderation tools beyond banning and deleting. Supposedly you can report but there doesn't appear to be any follow through by whoever or whatever automated process handles that. There's no way for a group's leadership to talk together privately to handle situations, only publicly if they set a channel to admin only. No search function. No iPhone support for emoji in channel names. Searching specific people barely works and finding the admin or moderators in a group only seems to work if you load the entire group list by scrolling first and then scroll back up. ### 3/5 — Not bad *2026-09-17, version 2026.37.0* I like all the things the app offers. Showing gyms, meetups, groups, etc. I’m looking to move and don’t want to be too far from everything lol one thing that is super annoying is if you have multiple notifications like from your friends liking a post, you might tap on one of the notifications and the other ones disappear and none of them show up in the app. So you can see how many people liked your post when you go to look at it, but not who exactly. I also like the option to host or join a raid on here but it seems to not be very active. I think most pogo users are not active on campfire. I don’t like how the chat feature is limited in the raid players’ lobby on this app. I do like that I can communicate with players on my friends list without giving out personal information. I just wish people used this app. Overall, I don’t understand all the hate for this app with people saying it’s hard to navigate and confusing. It’s really not at all. There’s things they could improve on for sure like the dynamax Pokémon not updating with the correct Pokémon ### 2/5 — Could be better *2026-08-24, version 2026.31.0* The old version used to make it easy to join raids around the world so you had more options. I miss that. ### 1/5 — Nul *2026-07-22* Quand Peridot s’arrêtera, tous les Dots seront perdus. Des centaines de créatures, des souvenirs, des moments partagés… tout va disparaître d’un coup. Pourtant, il serait possible de laisser un mode minimal, juste pour que les joueurs puissent garder leurs Dots, les voir, les consulter, les conserver. On ne demande pas un jeu complet, juste un espace pour ne pas perdre nos compagnons. La communauté est encore vivante, les gens continuent de poster, d’espérer, de partager leurs nouvelles créatures. Ce serait un geste simple, respectueux, de permettre à chacun de garder ses Dots au lieu de les effacer définitivement. ### 1/5 — Slim53 *2026-07-20, version 2026.9.7* App fantastica !!! Me c’è un bug da risolvere non appare più da diversi giorni il “quadratino” sulla destra della schermata Pokémon go e non si può passare automaticamente da una parte a l’altra dell’app Vi chiedo di verificare!!!! Grazie ### 3/5 — ? *2026-07-18, version 2026.9.7* How do i view the group i created ### 4/5 — Evil Larry *2026-07-18, version 2026.9.7* It’s good and all, but I accidentally typed in the wrong year so now I can’t use it😕 but I’ve seen my mom use it so that’s how I know it’s fun ### 1/5 — Appli inutile *2026-07-18, version 2026.9.7* Expliquez moi pourquoi quand je quand j’essaye de faire un raid sur Pokemon go ils me disent qu’il faut installer le jeu ALORS QU’IL EST INSTALLÉ ### 1/5 — ¿Porque no me deja iniciar sesión *2026-07-18, version 2026.9.7* No me deja iniciar sesión me dice o puedes utilizar campfire volver al registro que puedo hacer ### 1/5 — 로그인이 안되면 어플이 왜 있는거죠? *2026-07-18* ... ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-07-15, version 2026.9.7* Constantly losing remote raid passes. This is a scam ### 1/5 — Notification settings are awful *2026-07-13, version 2026.9.7* They need to fix notification settings badly. This thing will spam you with hundreds of notifications from groups you have “muted” ### 1/5 — Map does not show Gyms or Active Raids *2026-07-12, version 2026.9.7* This is such a pointless app… No active raids, or even gyms, especially during GoFest are showing up on the Campfire map. ### 3/5 — Hasn’t been working *2026-07-12, version 2026.9.7* Won’t connect to any raids just searches for ever, or when it does it glitches and will say raid not found and loop ### 1/5 — why is this an app FOR KIDS? *2026-07-11, version 2026.9.7* in what way is making an entire app to encourage pokemon go players primarily children to meet up safe? why am i getting policed for my language on an app that kids shouldnt be using? pokemon go itself? i GET IT theres no chat feature, no actual meet ups other than walking or driving somewhere to catch pokemon but actually having the ability to text someone most likely an adult when youre a child to meet up possibly alone… isnt concerning? i shouldnt need to police my cursing bc NO CHILD SHOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO TEXT A RANDOM PERSON N MEET W THEM. thats actually concerning that children can even join this app at all. this is just absolute irresponsible seeing how no parents actually go through their kids phones or know what’s going on in their lives. ### 1/5 — ゴミ *2026-07-10, version 2026.9.7* マップ開こうとすると永遠とアプリダウンロードしろといってくる　とっくに入れてるわゴミ ### 1/5 — Raid time out *2026-07-10, version 2026.9.7* Has anyone one else tried to host a raid only to get enough people to join then realise that the raid has ended the have to decline all? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Legit terrible and useless *2026-09-26, version 2026.39.0* Rather than building a matchmaking system into the PoGo app, Niantic and Scopely decided to be lazy and force you to download this barely functional piece of garbage. ### 1/5 — 麻煩複雜 *2026-09-12, version 2026.31.0* 麻煩複雜 ### 1/5 — 開發商強硬綁定，Pokémon go 好自為之，活動報到增加難度，值得負評，一星都多餘 *2026-09-06, version 2026.31.0* 開發商強硬綁定，Pokémon go 好自為之，活動報到增加難度，值得負評，一星都多餘。為了活動簽到要多載一個app，這商業模式嘴臉夠。 ### 1/5 — Lake America doesn’t exist *2026-08-31, version 2026.31.0* It called Lake Ontario. ### 1/5 — Pésima app *2026-08-22, version 2026.31.0* No vale para nada. Dicen que es para poder participar en incursiones y nunca aparece la que a mí me interesa. Y cuando aparece, tiene que haber máximo, seis personas para hacer la incursión y nunca puedo hacer dicha incursión. Luego organizo yo mismo una y nadie se apunta. Osea no se para que me la descargo. Solo para hacer bulto en mis carpetas del móvil. ### 1/5 — Why is it local *2026-08-18, version 2026.31.0* Why is it local that was the problem and all they did was just rebrand as campfire make the raid joining or hosting global not local ### 1/5 — Nutzlos *2026-08-05, version 2026.31.0* Seit dem letzten Update unbrauchbar, viele nützliche Funktionen wurden entfernt. Braucht man nicht mehr. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t save location enabled *2026-07-31, version 2026.31.0* Since two updates ago, it tells me ‘Enable your location to discover activities and groups nearby.’ every single time I open the app. I should not have to do this every single time. Fix it please ### 1/5 — A solution to a problem that shouldn’t exist *2026-07-26, version 2026.9.7* This app is not very good. And the fact is it should be brilliant to take the place of an IN-GAME raid/party/host/join system that should already exist. Having multiple problems joining raids on this app… but I guess it’s better than nothing ### 1/5 — Why bro *2026-07-24, version 2026.9.7* I entered my birthday and the app immediately kicked me rejected me and and says your are ineligible to use campfire. Anything I try dosent work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please add a global join for raids *2026-08-19, version 2026.31.0* I live in a rural part of Texas so nobody is raiding and it would be nice to get in some groups with more than 2 people ### 5/5 — Super good app *2026-08-19, version 2026.31.0* I can make tons of friends ### 5/5 — The Best App Ever *2026-07-15, version 2026.9.7* so I used this app like Back in 2023-2024 but this app is amazing ### 5/5 — Please add *2026-07-07, version 2026.9.7* This app is good and vey helpful for raiding pokemon but i would recomend that you have a list of what people are hosting or to make it so you can search for specific raids and it would only show what you filtered it to ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-07-02, version 2026.9.7* Got a moltras first 30 of installation ### 5/5 — Good for Pokémon Go *2026-05-27, version 2026.9.7* Great app, nice features. Sometimes the system flags normal stuff, and an update that connects better with current max battles and gmax stuff would be better. Overall good app. ### 5/5 — türkiye *2026-04-18, version 2026.9.7* türkiyeyi kabul etmiyorsa vpn ile uygulamaya giriş yapın öyle açılıyor akımlara katılabiliyorsunuz ### 5/5 — Too few people *2026-04-15, version 2026.9.7* Waiting for 1 raid cost me about 1-2 hour, we need more people using this apps ### 5/5 — Raids *2026-03-10* Niantic bitte fügt eine Funktion hinzu wo man auswählen kann welchen raid man gern machen will, außerdem würde ich gerne auch Krypto Raids hosten da man jetzt auch die Funktion in Pokémon GO hat das man Freunde einladen kann ### 5/5 — the fire *2026-03-07, version 2026.9.7* the flame --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
