It works as it should. Only use the clip and not the wrist strap. The vibration is good and you can feel it with jeans on.
Good for someone who has a lot of pokeballs and Pokemon storage space.

Well, this little cool poke step tracker definitely helps in hatching eggs. It is an easy way to save battery on your phone and make the best out of poke walking.

Really great tool for playing Pokémon go. I don’t have to stare at my phone to play anymore. Can set to just spin PokéStops or just catch Pokémon or both.

We bought 3 of these for each of our daughters to aid them in "Catching them all! They have paired with their IPod Touches and Phone and hasn't had a connection issue since. I kind of want one as it lets them save their phone battery and lets them hit pokestops when we are driving around (some times>> Not sure why). 4 stars because they are so hard to get... Was able to snag these back in November but didn't receive until first week of February.

A Plus Depending on your Style of Play.

I mainly use the Pokemon Go Plus to collect Pokestops and on occasion some Pokemon depending upon the location. The main reason I don't use it to catch many Pokemon is that it only throws Poke Balls and you cannot use berries while trying to catch a Pokemon with it. I usually can still collect on a Pokestop with the Go Plus over 20 mph. In a area that has a high concentration of Pokestops the Go Plus does a much better job than I can when I'm in a vehicle. Your style of game play would dictate if you want to spend the money on the Go Plus. Our household has three of these.

This helps when playing to actually not have to always look at your phone. You can put your phone in your pocket and just catch Pokémon and spin stops including gym stops.

The Pokemon Go Plus has been very worthwhile for me, as someone that plays daily. It is pretty good about trying to catch Pokemon and spin Pokestops (even when moving too fast for the game). The catch rate is not the best, but if you use it as a backup/while moving too fast, then every catch is a bonus catch you wouldn't have even seen. Overall, very helpful, especially for leveling up faster.

I love this because every time I walk outside, I don't need to keep an eye on my phone. It sucks on iOS because of the lag, but it's great on Android phones.

So I waited to purchase this, there was way too much of a markup when they first came out. It works as expected, had some minor issues pairing to a different device after initial pairing but that has been resolved. I would prefer if you could control what pokeballs it uses but that is a software issues. It is great for when you are walking/riding aound the city to grabs stops and small mon.

Got one of these for a friend and he absolutely loved it, ended up buying one for my daughter. It is great if your active. My daughter is a runner so she just carries the phone in an arm band and gets her miles and catches in.

I've heard a lot about it and I wanted to test it out for myself.its great when it works connection is iffy sometimes and doesn't pick up certain Pokemon from time to time.but other than that it makes catching Pokemon and getting pokestops easier,so you don't have to pull out your phone every time.

Used to work great but iOS11 broke it. There’s a horrible latency issue with the Bluetooth now that hasn’t been resolved since 11.0.3.

This accessory makes playing Pokemon GO much easier on your phone because having the game up on the phone destroys the battery.

It's a novelty

It is a fun little novelty toy that adds a little more fun to the game, but it is rather annoying at times.
1) can't use anything other than regular balls
2) you get one shot to catch the pokemon, and if you don't it poofs.
3) great for getting stops while on the move!

Great Device Overall

Pretty nifty device for devout players. Recent software update allows Gyms to be "spun" as PokéStops, which is cool. Main issues are the inability to throw various Ball types and the automatic disconnection after 1 hour. The battery that it comes with also isn't the best - prepare to buy a new one soon (great prices online though!).

The device is actually in use by my wife. It seems to pick up Pokemon that are out of range of phones and when I'm driving, she seems to be able to pick up items that don't show on phone due to speed limitations. She has had issue with it a couple times not wanting to connect, but a quick unpair and then re-pairing seems to fix it.
