This item looks okay from a distance, but up close you can see that it is very much lacking in the quality department. The instructions are not helpful at all. The device is a simple Bluetooth accessory, but it fails to connect or loses connectivity at random. The device itself is not chargeable. You will need to replace the battery relatively frequently with regular daily use (as it is intended). The device is made of cheap plastic, but it is durable enough to drop or sit on with no issues.

This is a very nice, but nonessential, way to enhance the Pokémon Go experience. It is a real shame that the supply never met the initial demand. Especially useful for getting stuff from Pokestops, and Ok for catching non-essential Pokémon (e.g. yet another Pidgey).

I have had this for about a month now. It's very easy to use and makes me feel more comfortable when driving since I can have my screen off. Also tracks your steps so you can hatch your pokemon eggs with screen off. Will disconnect after about an hour of use.

I don't use the strap but the button is awesome. Makes getting poke stops 100x easier. The only issue is the two settings. I wish there was another setting to warn you of new pokemon in the area but didn't also go off when there were pokemon you've already caught.

I don’t really play anymore but this thing (even though very janky) mostly gets the job done. I’ve thoroughly tested it and yeah there are some problems but it makes catching so much simpler. Needs many improvements but does the job.

Works as expected, Niantic could build some better customization for it and it would be awesome. For now it allows you to spin pokestops and catch pokemon (you only get one chance and only used regular pokeballs), without looking at your screen.

Although there are some bugs like losing connection from time to time, it's very useful for those who lives in areas that is not safe to walk around with your phone in hand. You can play using the bracelet with your phone hiding safely in your pocket.

If you play Pokemon go, the this is a must have accessory. It helps me level up faster, generates more candy, and hat he's eggs faster without looking at your phone all day.
This would get 5 stars if it didn't have connection issues sometimes

Gives you a more accurate step count for hatching eggs. Allows you to catch pokemon, pokestops, and add km to your eggs.

Great for the most part, a little buggy at times- supposedly you can have huge battery savings by locking your phone and still playing, but the game tends to shut down eventually (sometimes very quickly). Still- a great augment to the game.

If you are an avid Pokémon Go trainer; I highly recommend the Plus! It works with iPhone perfectly. Absolutely works great with Pokestops, hatching eggs, and catching Pokémon without looking at your phone!
Negative: I bought a second one for a Motorola Z2 Play and it wouldn't connect (huge problem with newer Androids).

Works amazing with my iPad and apparently works really well with all Apple products. HOWEVER, it is not currently able to be used with Android products using current 7.1.1. This really sucked for me, as my mobile device (and device that doesn't need WiFi) is incompatible. So I'm only able to catch Pokemon in my house.

Works well with the Pixel. Has changed up the way I play the game and streamlined it. If you are a serious Pokemon Go player I would recommend this.
Minor issues with connectivity now and then but nothing deal breaking.

I went from a near empty pokeballs inventory to filling up my inventory in about an hour of walking. I also got candies for my buddy Pokemon and hatched my 5k eggs with ease. This is a great tool for the Pokemon Go players that can't always pull out the game everytime (college students, runners, etc.)

This device speeds up leveling up and collecting items. It gives the user a huge advantage. It does have issues with getting and staying connected and other miner issues, but this is nearly required to advance quickly.
