    Pokemon Go Must Have

    If you play Pokemon Go, you have to get one of these. It's the best way to hatch eggs and get buddy candy without draining phone battery. Can catch and spin stops while raiding or evolving maximizing time during a lucky egg. Sometimes doesn't want to connect at first but will pair up after a minute or two.

    I like using the device as it doesn't require me to take out the phone and my kid can pick up pokestops and Pokemon while driving. Great to catch random Pokemons to build up candies and stardust as you will need it as your level gets higher to build up your Pokemon.

    Addition to Pokémon Go game that allows the user to catch Pokémon or spin at pokestop without looking at device. Works well.

    Go Plus

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    If you are into Pokemon Go, this is a must. One of the main reasons to get it is it keeps the game running with your phone off, not powered off, just off. This allows you to get egg distance and click the button to spin stops and catch Pokemon. This makes the game much easier to play and gets tons of xp quickly.

    This has really assisted in my daily visits and catches. The only downside is it will only throw pokeballs; when you are out it will not select the other ball types. Also, only one chance per catch. However, if you are otherwise busy and need to be hands/device free, using the pokemon go plus is very convenient.

    Works as described

    This product works as described but it is not for me. Does not hatch eggs and count steps. It only alerts you to Pokémon and catches them for you. Or steps to catch. It uses regular balls only and does not use candies. So while the product works, it needs an upgrade for sure!

    Had some real difficulty getting it connected and reconnected to my phone, but when it is connected, it makes the game much easier and more efficient to play! Looking forward to using it for Community Day!

    This device, when it will connect with your phone, actually helps you to enjoy the game when you can slow down to play it! Functional, even if a bit silly to wear, this device is a great first iteration!

    If you're Pokemon Go Fans, This is the good stuff which you should have. Please bare in mind that some buggy there and sometimes it automatically disconnect itself with phone due to App error. Strongly recommend to use with iPhone will get less issue.

    A nice addon to the game

    It's not perfect, but I didn't expect it to be. It can be a bit laggy and you only get one chance with a basic PokeBall to catch a Pokemon. But it can help you spin and catch a lot you wouldn't otherwise while automating some of the drudge work of the game. Not a must have, but a fun little addon.

    Great way to earn dusts and candies to lvl up. Battery lasts about a month if you use daily throughout the day. Only uses red balls to catch Pokémon and only tries 1 time, if first attempt is not successful, Pokemon will run away. Stock up on red balls if you plan to catch lots of Pokémons.

    This makes catching pokemon while walking around very easy, as well as saving battery life on my phone, as the app doesn't need to constantly be on while I am hunting/ collecting items. Also, it makes racking up mileage for candy/ hatching a breeze. Great purchase! would absolutely recommend. The one thing is, you can only catch with red balls: if you run out of standard pokeballs and have a ton of ultra/ super balls, you can't use the pokemon go plus to catch anything, only spin stops. But it still notifies of proximity, so you can open the app and catch um all. Raking in those 2nd gen pokemon now!
