Customers are satisfied with the Pokémon GO Plus +'s ease of use, auto-catch functionality, and long battery life, finding it convenient and effective for gameplay. Many appreciate its compact size and compatibility with both Pokémon GO and Pokémon Sleep. However, some users find the device's vibration and occasional connectivity issues bothersome, while others consider the price point to be relatively high.
I recently upgraded from a Gotcha Pokémon wristband to the Pokémon GO Plus Plus catcher, and I'm really impressed with the improvements. The Plus Plus catcher is more simple in design has a large, responsive button. Its increased range means I can interact with PokéStops and catch Pokémon from further away, which is a big plus. The battery life is excellent, lasting much longer than the Gotcha, and the connection is much more stable. I experienced so many less unexpected disconnects. One of the best features of the Plus Plus catcher is the ability to use specific Poké Balls, not just one type, which adds flexibility and efficiency to gameplay. The automatic catching and spinning option saves a lot of time and lets me focus more on the game. However, I do wish there was an option to turn off the vibrations. Compared to my old Gotcha wristband, which had a smaller, less responsive button and issues with battery life and connection stability, the Pokémon GO Plus Plus catcher is a significant upgrade. It’s a more efficient, reliable, and enjoyable way to play Pokémon GO, and I highly recommend it for serious players. Ps caught 3 shinys in 2 days of random Pokemon encounters by the PLUS PLUS.

I initially bought this to pair with my Pokemon Sleep app because Pokemon Sleep required my phone to be on and on my bed for it to track sleep. I did not like the idea that my phone had to be right on the bed while charging, so I opted in to purchase this device for a "quality of life" experience. The instructions were not that clear, but after a week I got the hang of the device. The device has to be laid flat when you try to enable sleep mode or else it will not register. Once you see the blue light slowly fade and Pikachu singing you a lullaby (Yes Pikachu) then you know sleep mode is working. To turn off sleep mode once you wake up, just long press the button again to "wake up". The button will flash a rainbow of colors and that is when you know the device successfully recorded your sleep. I'd rather have this device next to me rather than my phone. The device is really nice, the plastic feels premium and it pairs well with the Pokemon Sleep app. What I was not expecting, is how well it works with Pokemon Go. It catches Pokemon and Spins Pokestops automatically! I do not regret this purchase as I can always use it for Pokemon Go when I'm walking or driving. I bought this for Pokemon Sleep and I ended up playing two games using a single device.
