Nice, but not nice enough
Personally I'm a Pokemon fan and can afford the item, so I'm fairly happy with it. On top of that, I'm a gamer and can appreciate its features etc.
DISCLAIMER: Before you read the review, you might want to look up the Pokemon GO Plus' features at Niantic's website in the support section (don't know if I can link so I won't), because I won't be discussing the features here.
For the average person and child though, it is fairly pricey for what it offers. The worst part off the top of my head is that, at least for me and quite a few others I have seen making posts on the net, the battery that came with the toy only lasted around 2 weeks with decent usage. That means in addition to the ~$57AUD I had to pay for this toy, I have to spend roughly ~$8AUD every ~1 month (as $8 gets me two of the batteries).
That would be enough to put me off if I wasn't a gamer, but there's more. At the moment, the device does not connect well with my phone (Samsung S5). Things like random disconnections, having to do a full reconnect (unregistering the toy with my phone then registering it again), not being able to hold connection while I am doing other things on my phone, delays with the GPS and so I miss Pokestops. Yeah...
So if you REALLY like Pokemon and don't mind spending a bit of money, go ahead and buy it, it's pretty fun to just press a button and get stuff. Otherwise, don't buy it, it's a waste of money to be honest. I know my review might sound contradictory, but that's what honesty sounds like :P
