Ratings and reviews

Feels like I've played through the best years of this game. The last update has been the worst. At my lvl cp95 should not take 3 great throws in a row when they're green. And on top of that you've decided it's cool to flood dynamax points, but not pokestops and gyms out in the sticks (people game out here too!) The game is becoming unplayable because of the level of frustration it brings. Add to that it feels like you're making it pay-to-play, and that ruins it for me. 3 stars for nostalgia

I love playing Pokémon Go! I have been playing since 2019 and have been off and on over the years. It pains me to drop a 3 star because I recently got into playing more battles, and let me tell you, I have never been more disappointed in a online matchmaking system in my entire life! Loss after Loss and it seems like every time I hop in a battle my opponent has too many counters. Now I know that fixing a matchmaking system is a lot of work, but for the love of God make it more rewarding to play.

I really enjoy Pokemon Go and have been playing since the release in 2016. Its a good excuse to get out and spend some time outside to "touch grass". However, the Android app has significantly more issues than the iOS app does. I have to sign out and back in on average about 4 times per week and deal with freezes daily. This would be a 5 star review if the app was more flushed out, but given the issues I have seemingly just playing the game I can't give more than 3.
