| 2023-08-08 |  | | It used to work great with a generic 3rd party spin/catch device, but it doesn't seem to work with the Pokemon Go Plus+ device at all. It won't connect. I'm not sure why. It's a shame because I felt it was really useful. |
| 2023-07-23 |  | | used to log catching and spinning but stopped doing that in recent versions. stop working with goplus and gotcha in newer versions and had to downgrade for it to work again but still isnt logging sessions. doesn't work with the new go plus + so now you cant know if your plus plus disconnects. |
| 2023-07-21 |  | | Worth it, def catches faster and having statistics is amazing. The notifications are also very welcome and much better than anything PoGo offers and all the costumization it offers is also great. Couldn't reccomend enough for someone who owns a go plus or any PoGo device (works with gotchas for sure!). Only reason it's not 5 stars is cause it sometimes doesn't recognize any device (or stops doing so while using it) and this has happened more often recently, usually solved by just resetting tough |
| 2023-07-19 |  | | great app. unfortunately Niantic re-naming all devices as companion devices / accessory devices broke how this app interacts with the gotcha. it will still do the boost and timer, but no longer tracks stats. its not the apps fault! it's Niantic. there's also bugs with all devices and not catching. that's a bug for all players not just users of this app. |
| 2023-06-27 |  | | The autocatcher boost worked very well until recent updates: 1.1.10, allegedly to support newer phones, broke it for older phones instead. And now a PoGo update (275) changed the notifications so GC can't see it at all. Another update here's needed. |
| 2022-09-21 |  | | Worked for one day on Android 12. Downloaded this after major problems getting Gotcha Evolve (Trainer Club edition) after Pixel 5 upgraded to Android 12. Go Companion worked & I was able to use the Gotcha for a full day, then the next day I couldn't get it to work despite clearing storage & cache etc. I will add that I don't think this is the fault of the app, there's some kind of issue with Android 12. |
| 2022-06-17 |  | | I think this app has a LOT of potential, i am very excited about it, however so far it is only working to boost how fast it catched pokemon and pokestops non of the other features are working and it does not seem like i can contact someone or find a video to help get the other things like statistics to work. |
| 2022-05-06 |  | | I actually always use this when I use my Pokemon go+ at this point, I wonder why Niantic won't just do this or enable a setting for it. Definitely improves the connection just by itself. I've also used this app with a gotcha evolve which brought the average connection time from 15-20 to 45-hr. Also has a push notification option for when the connection does die so you can reconnect the right away. With a few modified phone settings, this thing helps it run super nicely! |
| 2022-04-25 |  | | Super helpful. I don't often write reviews but seeing this had none at the time of writing this I figured they deserve some recognition. If you use a go plus or gotcha evolved or poke all plus this is really handy to tell you how much battery is left along with catch statistics. If will show how many have been caught/ran away, how many stops you've spul w ur watch and how many items. Importantly, it also has a timer to help track the 1hr auto disconnect pogo has on watches. |
| 2022-03-14 |  | | The app has been mostly great for me for over an year, however in the last few hours whenever I try to open it, it instantly stops and closes. Tried clearing cache and data, tried uninstalling and reinstalling, all to no avail. |
