Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the Go-tcha Evolve's auto-catch and auto-spin features as being incredibly useful, making it easier to play Pokémon GO without constantly checking their phones. The long battery life is also widely praised. However, there are concerns about its durability, with some customers reporting that it stopped working after a month. Connectivity issues and a difficult charging process are also mentioned as pain points.

    Works well enough and you can customize which features to turn on and off through the app. Very good battery life. One charge lasts about a week to a week and a half. Only issue is that it disconnects randomly, but it only rarely happens.

    So this works great when I can keep it connected, but it doesn't like to stay constantly connected if I'm not on Pokemon GO the whole time. Also I have to go into the Go Tcha app to reset the settings because sometimes it just changes the setting to Auto Catch and Auto Spin Stops to off.

    This is super easy and picks up Pokemon and PokeStops without doing anything! Great for when you are driving or for regular play. I love that it picks up Pokemon and PokeStops.

    Battery lasts a few days and charges quick. Operation is simple. They do tend to wear out in 6-8 months where it disconnects from the app frequently and you constantly have to monitor connection and reconnect if necessary

    It works well enough, just not as thorough as I hoped. I wish it could spin pokestops sooner and faster. If there are Pokémon around, it will try to capture them first before spins…so you can lose out if you leave an area too quickly. It also will not throw any balls other than regular pokeballs. So if you run out of regular pokeballs, it will not throw great or ultra balls. It will disconnect from your phone if it is not able to do anything for a few minutes…full inventory or full Pokémon storage will cause this.

    Great for catching playing Pokémon Go while on the go. It wont always get every Pokémon or every poké stop but it tries. Connects easier than the watches that came before this one and easy to operate.

    I like it better than the regular Gotcha. One thing I do hate is having connecting issues when my headphones are connected. My Gotcha will not connect for me unless I unpair whatever I have connected. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it is annoying.

    Great Device

    I love this device. I have had it for one month now and am noticing that it often disconnects when I don't have the app open on my phone. These devices are great for collecting a lot of Pokemon and stops, but really the magic is in collecting as much stardust as possible. Since that is like in-game money you can't purchase with cash, it really goes the extra mile and is worth the money. I'm not crazy about the watch it comes as, it's okay. At least it isn't hideous. I ordered a little case from Etsy to use it as a keychain. Both are good for different times.

    Over sold and under delivered - this device randomly loses connection - doesn’t accurately count steps - and at any given moment will delete all your setting causing you to have to recreate you settings. With that being said - it’s still better than other options out there

    This is used on the daily. Easy to charge. I don't wear it, i just keep it in my pocket or purse. It will only throw regular balls.

    My son likes it. It automatically collects the pokemon balls. So it makes it easier for the kids. He likes it tells him how many steps it takes.

    Bought this and was excited to try it. The concept works well but the product is cheaply made. Don't like how you have to take the band off to charge since the watch it self has to be plugged into a USB port to charge and could easily break

    Makes it easy to play without being stuck on your phone. Even after I forgot to take it off and washed my hands it still worked after leaving in rice for 2 days. I do not recommend wetting it.

    Not the best item to use, but it does help with in-game play. It makes things somewhat easier, but takes some of the fun out of the game. Still unable to manually play with the watch.

    Pretty handy when you work near poke stops and gyms, especially when you are raiding. The only down side is that you have to check every 30 min or so to make sure it's connected.

    I got this for my 7 year old son who is not very tech savvy. It’s cool but it has to be connected to a device blue tooth in order to work so I have to have it connected to my phone when he has it on and it EATS my battery power.
