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.

    It works but not all the time. It glitches out a lot and takes some messing with to get it going again. Some days it seems to catch way quicker than others. My friend did put his through the washing machine though and it still works.

    Works well. Recommend restarting Evolve app when trying to connect for better results. I like it better than my Go-tcha.

    It works as intended. Has to be close to your phone or disconnects easily. Looong battery life. Very dim screen but as a Pokémon catcher I rarely use it as a watch. Will easily switch between accounts

    Is easy to use, i use it all the time, only bad think is that the screen scratches easy but other than that works fine, no problems.

    Seriously thought this would be badass to use for GoFest and such, turns out I really can't get into it and it honestly is not that helpful. Definitely not worth the price at all. Disappointed!

    This is the best way to play pokego without staring at your phone all day. Highly recommended! No idea how long the battery will last over time.

    Watch strap broke right away and pairing with the phone was easy but the app and phone aren’t working well together. Had high hopes but was disappointed. Thankfully we got it on sale....

    It’ actually works, the only drawback is when you charge watch. It’s actually not easy to slide off, it feels like you’re going to break the darn thing, but with a some wiggle it comes off. Otherwise it’s great!

    Great device for serious Pokémon go users. Can multi task and not have to be on the game at the same time as doing whatever you are doing .

    I have an Xs Max and It disconnects a lot from my phone. The charger being part of the band is scary to take the band off. Feel like you’ll break it every time you do it. Was told after I bought this the original gotcha is the way to go.

    Works well enough, the only problem I really have with it is that I think the signal it emits is pretty weak, it tends to disconnect unless it’s within a foot of the phone.

    Really useful item, definitely recommend for Pokémon go fans. I wish the connector wasn’t plastic cause it’s pretty difficult to remove and started to crack

    These little Pokemon catchers are great but the quality is lacking. Expect to have it scratched the first day of use and Never get it wet. Its like a Gremlin, except it doesn't eat or multiply, it dies.

    Better Than Gen 1

    Better than Gen 1. Don’t have to worry about always having to carry around special charger to be able to charge device if needed. Charger is attached to device just plug in to any regular usb port or usb adapter. The charge last for days rather than just hours with gen 1. Totally recommend for hard core shiny collectors. It helped me catch a lot of shines during Kanto Event. Just know that removing the band from the charging part is a little hard but with practice it will get easier.
