Reviews
Been playing since launch day in 2016 and still absolutely hooked! Niantic consistently adds new features, events, and Pokémon. Raids with local friends are the best part of the game. Highly recommend joining your local community!
It's a fun concept, but the in-app purchases for incubators and Pokémon/item storage feel almost mandatory if you play seriously. Also, it drains my phone battery incredibly fast. Still, catching a rare shiny is exciting.
Love the AR+ feature, makes catching feel more immersive. GO Battle League can be quite laggy sometimes which is frustrating, but overall a very solid and engaging mobile game that encourages exercise.
Possibly the best mobile game ever created! I've met so many wonderful people through local raid groups and community events. The exploration aspect is fantastic for discovering new places in my own city. Keep up the amazing work, Niantic team!
Used to be a 5-star game for me, but recent changes and frequent bugs after updates have made it less enjoyable. Customer support response times are also quite slow when encountering issues. Needs better quality control.
Fantastic game! I play it everyday with my kids. It encourages us to go for walks together and explore parks. Catching new Pokémon is always a thrill. The events are usually well-planned and fun!

Great game for getting outside and walking! Love catching Pokémon during my daily commute. Sometimes the GPS drifts a bit indoors, but mostly works well. Fun community days, wish there were more PokéStops in my area though.
