Fantastic Idea that needs additions/changes

by evanski22 I think this is a great idea, but as others have said there are many important improvements that can make this an amazing tool for players. For example, I came across a Poliwrath, the fully evolved form, it was super exciting. First, you shouldnt have to be at the location itself to put the pin down. The last thing i was thinking was to go to another app and place a pin down for a poliwrath. I knew what intersection i was at, when I came home it would have been great to simply find the location on the map abd place the pin. Secondly, I dont know if thats a reliable spot for Poliwraths to regularly spawn. If i put a pin down there and they never spawn again, Im giving inaccurate info, and someone drove/walked/biked all the way there to be disappointed its not there. There should be a timer on each pin, telling players how recently I got it and 'hey, get there fast it might not be spawning there much longer'. After the timer is up it automatically gets deleted, and if someone else does indeed find one, he/she can put a pin down then. Also, you should be able to delete your pins in case you make a mistake. Who knows how many pins are people trolling others or made a mistake. It would also be great but not super necessary if instead of transferring you to yet another app, it gave you directions within the app already and not going to maps ...More

Few things to know

by Zacty99 So this app is seen as a definite way to find a Pokemon's exact location near you, however, there are a few things you need to realize.

The Pokemon are submitted by people who may or may not have caught them in that area. So there is (at least it seems to be) no way of knowing whether or not the Pokemon is there. However, they, thankfully, added a feature that allows you to choose whether or not the Pokemon can actually be seen there.

Another thing is that Pokemon change spots all the time. They change from different locations at different times of day. The person might of caught a Pokemon at the time and place they say, but that doesn't also mean you will catch the same Pokemon, even if you go around the same time.

With those said, I've used this to look for two Pokemon, as I like to keep the app open just in case, and it worked for one of them. So in that case, I chose yes, that the Pokemon can be found in the location. Mostly, Pokemon will have a 50% chance because around half see the Pokemon and half don't. This is just a thing to keep in mind when hunting.

All in all, it's a great app, and a fantastic concept. Obviously it can use some improvements, but even the Pokemon GO app itself could use them too. Give it some time, and this will be a very useful, maybe even necessary app in your hunt to be the best. ...More

Good start, but it needs improvement

by trexdrew This app definitely has potential but there are a few changes that can make it better.

1.) Time and date stamps dear god please! Seriously put in time and date stamps when someone creates a pin because Day/Night is just not cutting it. Someone could see a rare critter and drive there just to be disappointed because that pin was dropped many hours ago and the Pokémon is long gone.

2.) Let people delete things! If someone messes up and drops a pin in the wrong location they can't change it and that'll lead to other disappointed trainers who might go there and not find it.

3.) Filter menu is so small it's so tedious to scroll. The method of dropping a pin and filtering are both so tedious to scroll all the way down to what you want. Make it more streamlined and user friendly.

4.) I'm not sure if it's possible but let people use their map data on their Pokémon within the game be posted. If you forget to drop a pin at the exact location and get caught in the heat of the moment you can't go back or drop a pin. You have to be right at the spot in order to drop one.

I hope these are simply seen as constructive criticism and not at all angry or anything. This is a great trainer based app and deserves more support and use but without making it better it won't get that way. ...More
