I do Love it , so much easier to use when out and about without having to be looking at my phone all the time , maybe not for the full on "gotta catch them ALL" players though , it only gives you one go at catching the pokemon and after that it will run away so if its one you really want , use the phone. The wristband i have never used , looks too much like a dog collar to me . Great for farming pokestops as the one click of the button is great when travelling along on a ride like a bus or car ( as a passenger only of course) plus the added bonus of catching some that you wouldnt normally be able to get due to travelling speed ;). But my BIGGEST complaint about it is once you run out of normal pokeballs , it will NOT use great / Ultra balls , it will simply say "out of pokeballs" this is an issue that needs fixing.

While the Pokemon Go Plus was a great initial purchase recent changes to the App it relies on, by Niantic, have basically lowered the usability and value of this item by about 70%. I would originally have given the product 5 stars and highly recommended it, but in the current state due to changes to the App limiting its usability, reliability, and worth it's very hard to say much positive. In it's original form, when a few bugs were fixed it was amazing. In the current form due to the app it's underwhelming, unreliable and not worth the purchase price. Hopefully Niantic get their act together and fix the issues on their end, as it's not technically anything wrong with the Plus - but does deeply impact it and that can't be separated from this feedback. Nintendo should be hugely disappointed at the level of support that Niantic are providing on the software side. This kind of partnership can't work when one side is literally destroying the usability of a product behind their partner's back. Very disappointed as I bought a second for my wife before all the negative changes and now regret both purchases. A few specific problems - no longer stays connected reliably. No longer picks up Pokemon and Pokestops even at walking pace with reliability. Will often pick up Pokestops only as you leave range, which points towards a syncing issue. Starts exhibiting problems well before battery levels reach a low enough level to need changing. Sometimes stays connected but won't pick up ANY Pokemon or Pokestops. Also registers 'ghost' Pokemon that don't actually exist but cause false positives without showing up in the App Journal - which may waste Pokeballs. Overall very frustrating. Does usually track distances travelled (at walking pace) reasonably well, helping to save battery for hatching and buddy distances. This is the only reason it's more than one star.Read full review

I love this little gadget as it lets me 'have a go' at catching all the Pokemon I wouldn't normally stop for while travelling - usually weedles and pidgey haha. Its range for Pokemon is a bit bigger than my phone, so it will detect them and point them out to me before I see them on screen when out 'hunting'. The range for Pokestops is a bit smaller but you can spin them on screen anyway. It tracks distance a lot better than the app alone, for hatching eggs and getting those buddy candies. Allowing the phone to sleep with just bluetooth on saves a LOT of battery. The quality is great, and it seems to be made out of the same materials as the Pokewalker, which I loved. The wrist-band is so-so but there is a hole in the clip for looping a cable through. The vibrations are reasonably discreet but strong enough to be felt by the wearer. Overall a great product, but quite expensive considering I am already paying for items in the game. (Clearly the cost is partially for the game, not just the device itself.) Would be great if the purchase came with a gift code/bundle of items or something! (Perhaps a second infinity incubator?) ;)Read full review

The PGP uses only the red ball and will try only once. Soon i hope you can use ultra ball too and will try to catch Pokémon more than once. Its good because its convenient and easy to use. You don't have to look at your phone all the time for nearby poke stops or nearby Pokémon. It can connect to any iOS devices. Once connected, do not use device to avoid disconnection. If you check your eggs or items collected while connected, you may need to pair it again to your device or else, it will not be able to detect all Pokémons or poke stops. I will not suggest this to ultimate/aggressive players. But only to cool players who do it for fun and not easily affected when a Pokémon fled.

The Pokemon Go plus I received was brand new, complete with original packaging and instruction. It's been easy and reliable to use and really helped me enjoy Pokémon Go in a more social way. It's much easier to catch Pokemon, collect items and hatch eggs while also interacting fully with the people around me because I don't have to keep checking my phone. Everything has worked super smoothly with no connection problems. The only challenge is that I find myself going through pokeballs faster than ever! At this stage Pokemon go plus only uses pokeballs (not great or ultra balls) but I'm hopeful that this will be changed in future software updates. Overall this product works seamlessly with Pokemon Go and has definitely enhanced my Pokemon Go experience while enabling me to more naturally enjoy the company of those I'm playing with.
