I have actually gone through 2 of these. I put a lot of use in them. One had stopped vibrating and the other just stopped syncing with my phone. This is a great item to use for pokemon go if you wanting to get a lot done while the game is in your pocket. Places like work or maybe your shopping stuff like that.

I've been using (or trying to use) this little gadget since I got it a few weeks ago. When it does connect to my phone it works great. It vibrates when there is a Pokemon to catch and vibrates while blinking blue when near a pokestop. The main issue I have is that it rarely will connect to my phone. I've even gone so far as to exchange the thing and had the same issues. Honestly, unless you have the money to burn on what will ultimately become a fun looking keychain, don't waste your time or money on this.

Play Pokemon Go without looking at your phone

Device works and looks great. With this, you can play Pokemon Go throughout your day simply by pushing the button on the Go Plus. The Go Plus lights up and vibrates when you're in range of Pokemon and Pokestops. Also comes with two backs for the device letting you either clip it to your belt or wear it on your wrist.

Love this device and so does everyone else that i got them for. My friend recently started playing pogo so I bought this for her and she absolutely loves it. Its a little glitchy with ios 11 but hopefully with the new updates it will be very accurate again for getting pokestops and catching Pokémon

Better alternative out there

It's difficult to pair with an Android phone. Very easy to pair with iPhones. Clicking every time is not as convenient as the auto clicking alternative device.

Great for Distance

This accessory is great for tracking distance for eggs. But, sometimes it's goofy when catching Pokemon or spinning stops. Overall, it's really nice to have so you don't have to stare at your phone all the time.

Awesome for using up red pokeballs

At first it was awesome to use because if i drove under 40 mph, i was able to still catch and spin by pushing the button. But after updates, only less than 20 mph can you easily spin a gym or catch a pokemon.

Sumtimes can mess up and the fact you get one chance kinda makes it a little aggravating because it'll vibrate/light up and a pokemon won't show on screen so little upsetting when you miss that one you need

Great purchase! It was very hard to find for the Holidays. Tried to get the Go Plus as a Christmas gift for my son but it was either unavailable or extremely expensive. Best Buy came through for us in January! My sons love this little gadget. Well worth the money and the wait! Thanks Best Buy!

This device is a must if you want to track your steps all day towards hatching eggs and earning candy with your buddy. If you receive alerts for nearby Pokemon you will quickly run out of poke balls, but keeping the pokestop alerts on definitely helps alleviate that issue.

I got this for my gf so she could bike & drive safely. She would stop right in the middle of the road to catch a Pokémon. Now she can keep driving without distractions or causing an accident. The device vibrates, she pushes the button, and automatic catch (most of the time).

The idea of this item is great but, it never stays connected & after a while, it stops working all together.

It’s ok, it definitely eases up the need to use your phone for pokemon go but the chances of the Pokémon running away is higher so you run that risk.

The Pokemon Go Plus is a nice addition to the game. It occasionally is tricky to connect to your Bluetooth device and/or the app, but once it's connected it works like a charm. The Best Buy salesperson was very helpful and readily placed an order for the second one I wanted to buy.

Must-have accessory

If you are serious about your Pokemon Go game, you need this accessory. I waited so long to get one and kick myself for not getting one sooner. Mine was literally ruin over by a car when I dropped it in a parking lot and has continued to work for another year or so.

I bought two of these for me and my son. We hunt together for Pokémon daily. The go plus changes the game all together. You can catch a Pokémon at 65mph going down the highway and never have to look at your phone. I highly recommend this for anyone who is an avid pokemon go player.

It's great, especially in the sence that you can hold the button down and it automatically catches Pokémon and spins stops. I did get tired of the constant vibrations and it'd be nice to have one with that, but it was an easy fix by desoldering it. Overall great product.
