This is a great product for those that don’t always want to have the Pokémon go app on their screens. However, the Bluetooth sessions do end and require the app to be reopened and reconnected to continue using the Pokémon go plus. It does have some connectivity issues occasionally, but overall it gets the job done.

Once you get over pairing and familiarize yourself with common Bluetooth troubleshooting, it's fairly straightforward.

Mine lasted about a year of constant use, and it still works but I use it less often. However, I had a lot of issues using it on vacation, where it would disconnect more often than stay connected. With very few alternatives, it's probably not a big drawback.

This device works very well. I like that I can set it to pokestops or Pokemon. The store price matched no problem.

Great product to continue playing Pokémon Go and not slow down to stop and catch or spin stops. Basics are that it throws one regular poke ball and if it breaks free then it's gone, but you do still get +25 XP. I find myself trying to stock up on regular balls because. Spinning stops is amazing, especially when there are multiple close. Also, distance is tracked much more accurately with the plus. Great buy and happy it's now in stock.

The PokemonGo Plus will help you hatch eggs, catch Pokémon, and spin Pokestops and Gymstops much quicker!! Plus, you save battery life on your phone! Perfect for a runner, bicyclist, or for heavily saturated areas. Great for slow walkers, too. I've been using it for 3 months and I'm still using the original battery! I have an iPhone 6s Plus, and my husband has a Google Pixel. Both phones work great with these devices.

My son enjoys being on my phone for Pokémon GO! Instead of having to give him my phone constantly, he’s able to quickly get the Poké stops and catch nearby Pokémon. I like that he has to be in range of working, helps to encourage him to stay near me in public places.
Easy to use for kids and adults!

Catch pokemon in secret at work, or if you want to play passively while your out and about. The catch rate is pretty terrible so it'll make you go through your regular poke balls extremely fast. It would be so much better if they allowed you to use different balls to catch instead of the regular poke balls.

The Go Plus is a nice little gadget. I like that it uses a button battery so you don't have to go thru the ordeal of having to charge it regularly when you want to use it. Replacing a cheap button battery is a simple and nice convince.
I bought it as a birthday present and the gift was well received!!!

This device notify you when a Poke Stop or Pokemon is nearby and allow you to spin the Poke Stop and catch Pokemon by pressing the button on the device. But most importance feature it allow you to multi task. Catch a Pokemon or spin a stop during a RAID battle. If you are in a moving vehicle, the device can also see (and allow you to catch) Pokemon which normally don't show up in the phone due to moving speed.

Great help...when it works

When this device works, it's great. You can catch Pokemon in the rain with your device and phone in your pocket. Set it up before you go on a drive, then press the button everytime it buzzes. Sometimes the device "sees" Pokemon before they even appear on the game and catches them. Doesn't always catch Pokemon or get items from Pokestops but then again, it's better than not playing at all and it's close to hands free driving. After your drive, go to your phone and see what you have caught.
The device does have connectivity issues. Doesn't work with every phone. And the phones it does work with, it doesn't always connect to on each use. Very frustrating. I'm going on 3 days not being able to use the device.
Buyer beware. It's great when it works.

This item can still be glitch. Bought this for my son to use while we are running so we don't have to look at the phone. Wish it would use different poke balls. Sometimes it will go awhile without picking up anything even nearby pokestops. Hopefully they will continue to make updates.

I like to take runs and usually keep my Pokémon go running at the same time. With the plus, I no longer need to keep the phone open, the app runs on the background and I also get to catch some Pokémon while running versus having to stop to catch. It connects fast, the battery lasts long and it is real responsive. I have used both an android and apple phone with it.

I bought this to make things a little easier. I play Pokémon Go with my Godchildren. But I need to help them with what they are doing. I was missing a lot of things. But with this I just push the button and it does the work for me so I can stay free to help all 5 of them with what they are doing. It's a great helping aid for me.

All in all, it is a great device to have while playing Pokemon Go, but not able to look at your device, say when biking or jogging. However, if you're an Android phone user, make sure others haven't had issues getting it to connect to your phone model!!!

Great for when your not wanting to pay complete attention to the game on your phone. It is a bit glitchy and doesn't always pick everything up that is around you. It disconnects with my android a lot. But overall I like it so I don't have to burry my head in my phone
