GO FRIEND 17+

Normally excellent but...

I’m now opening the app to find a white screen. I’ve had this issue now for over an hour. I’ve been using it to join raids and to host today with no problems until now. What’s up? It’s not my connection (which is great for everything else). I’ve paid for plugs and can’t see ANYTHING. Please fix. NB: the app was white screening both before AND after my app reinstall which was updated.

Was Excellent, Until Update

This was an excellent app, allowing you to join raids anywhere in the world and invite others to your own raids. To queue jump you can buy ‘plugs’ to give you priority, which worked really well until they’ve changed the amount of plugs required. It used to work out at 50c a raid. Fairly reasonable, but now every 50 people it goes up 50c, but you only need to queue jump when there’s 200* people, which now is a minimum of $2.00 (more than Niantic charge for the raid itself!!!!). To show how bad this is, I’ve just seen a queue which would require 2000 plugs - in the shop you can buy 2200 plugs for the discount price of $20!!!! That’s $20 just for ONE raid - insane!!
I’ve not spent a cent on this app since this change and have no intention of either (depending on raid boss, I’d buy plugs weekly), not unless they return it to how it was.
Recommend downloading the app, it is useful for some raids, but don’t waste money buying anything from it. With low queue numbers it doesn’t take long to wait, and when you could do with a queue jump the price is insane, more than what Niantic charge for the raid itself!!!!!!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback.
We have adopted a mechanism in which the number of plugs changes according to the number of people in line.
Raid update dates are very popular.
We will strive to get so that many posts will be posted.
If you have not been invited using PlugP, we will return PlugP, so please contact us from within the app.
Thank you for your continued support.

A genuinely good Pokemon Go app

I use the app quitw often as I live in an area with not a lot of gyms so i downloaded this so i caould join more. There is no purchases necessary unless you want to join a certain pokemon raid faster but the wait isn’t too long, you can also make friends in less than 5 mins by sharing your user with people.

A really good app that deserves more hype for how useful it really is!
