    Rubberband and coin trick

    This works just as it is advertised and allows you to look at the world instead of your phone. It has a bad habit of not disconnecting though. Use a coin and rubber band to hold the button down to make it autocatch/ spin pokestops and this thing is great.

    This is a great way to bump up your catches, even when driving, etc. Easy to respond to the vibration or light without distracting from what you are doing. Easy synch to the game.

    We are really enjoying our GO Plus! They are quite easy to connect and make catching Pokemon quick and easy. Some things we don't like are how often it disconnects.

    I use the Pokemon go plus when I go geocaching to log steps, stops, and pokemon as I use my phone to find the geocache. Since I bought it, I have doubled the number of eggs hatched and so far the battery has lasted 8 months with weekly use!

    I really like the PokémonGo Plus it allows me to spin stops and catch Pokémon without unlocking my phone, which saves on battery life. Plus if you're doing a gym raid you can still catch Pokémon

    The Pokemon Plus is a great addition to Pokemon Go. I prefer ordered at the Dover store and picked it up when I was in Dover. Great price and works well.

    I have purchased 3 of these. It works fantastic when it is working. I am a runner so it makes it very easy to catch and spin stops with out having to break my run. The problem is it sometimes takes 15 minutes to connect then when it disconnects I have to reboot my phone and the plus to get it to reconnect. I tried to resolve this with the manufacturer to no avail. The warranty is a waste.

    Throws a red poke ball? Yes. No other colors though and when you run out of red you won’t know unless you look at your phone to see the message. Spin pokestops and gyms? Yes, not every time though there is lag. Frequently disconnects from Bluetooth. Maybe the app is the problem not sure. Through some app updates it works flawlessly, other updates it becomes a useless paperweight. It’s hit or miss. Exchanged one because it would not connect after a while. Replacement worked well until one of the updates. Had to replace the battery once so far. Have 2 of these and lost the other one in the snow this past winter, spring thaw I found it and it still worked. Worth the money.

    I finally got my hands on the plus and I am pretty happy with it. It's very easy to use and to install. It does disconnect randomly sometimes but not all the time. It would be nice to have a feature where you can just hit pokestops when they're nearby without having to wait for the Pokémon to be caught or run. Also you can only use a pokeball to catch with and you get a lot of Pokémon that run on you. Just make sure you have plenty of pokeballs when using the plus. It helps you by not having to look at your phone all the time though and you can pay attention to where you're walking. Plus it's good for hatching eggs. You can let it run in the background and you'll gain distance while you're walking. Good buy just needs some upgrades though.

    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.

    Despite repeated attempts to tell my phone that I was a passenger in the Pokémon app it ignored that information and made it completely impossible to catch Pokémon or get PokéStops while riding in a vehicle, this device eliminates that hassle but it is not without error. There are constant disconnections from Bluetooth and losing your cell signal at any point seems to screw it up as well, it's not perfect but it gets the job done 75% of the time. Considering I would be receiving absolutely nothing this is definitely better even though it doesn't work 100% of the time. You do have to actually look at your phone though to figure out if your bag of items is full or if your Pokémon inventory is full or if you ran out of red balls, it will only throw red balls regardless of what you may have.

    This gadget is great for catching pokemon and hitting pokestops without having your phone out. The only down fall is that you can only use the red balls with this gadget. You can't use the blue or yellow balls. That means you run out of red balls fast.

    I now mainly use it for the poke stops because it's not worth using it for catching Pokemon. The odds of it catching a Pokemon are supposed to be 50-50 but honestly, it feels like I only catch a Pokemon about 30% of the time. Its best feature is being able to turn off the screen to save battery life.

    It is easy to use and easy to connect. It helps hatch eggs quicker and also allows you to get more Pokestop when you select just Pokestop under settings. If you set it up for Pokemon catching, you must habe red balls and it only uses one. Drives me crazy.

    I love this gadget. If you are serious about pokemon go, you must own one of these. It catches so many more pokemon that you can on your own. The pokestops are alittle lagging but the pokemon are spot on, well worth the investment.

    I love the Pokémon Go Plus! I use it with my Galaxy S5 phone. Its great at catching Pokémon at times when I don't want to (or cant) pull out my phone. Also blinks Yellow if its a Pokémon I don't have yet, so I know NOT to push the button and that I should instead use my phone for a better chance at catching it (Plus only uses Red balls, whereas you can use the Yellow and Blue balls, and Berries, from the phone). Helps with Egg hatching in that you can turn your phone screen off, and the Plus will still register steps along with alerting you to Pokémon and Stops. Otherwise, you have to keep the screen active and have the phone upside down in your pocket, and that causes the phone to over heat. For about $35, I recommend the Plus to Pokémon Go players. (Go Team Mystic!!)

    The Go plus is a decent way to potentially catch Pokemon in the Mobile Gaming App, Pokemon Go. It uses your allotment of only regular pokeballs when a Pokemon is near, it then flashes white for a Pokemon in your general location, you tap the button, and it attempts to capture your creature. If the light flashes green, then multi colored, you've captured the Pokemon, if it flashes red, it means the Pokemon got away or you ran out of pokeballs to throw. Be warned, this consumes pokeballs quickly, so you will run out often if you're not careful.

    Handy device to catch multiple spawn pokemons. Just make sure you don't use it on rare pokemons! The only draw back is it will disconnect sometimes and also it won't pair to device but just reboot your phone.
