GO Raid Party 4+

The game is amazing, hosting and joining is super easy. There is no annoying prices where you have to pay for it. (Exept premium which is playable without it) You can make friends with others and get legendaries easily because of all the good players who host. Shinies are quite easy too. (I got a shiny Diagla). The only requirement is a remote raid pass or 100 coins. Its perfect for at home, in a location which is sparce of gyms/raids, good with friends and randoms. 10/10 compared to other apps like this where paying is the only option.

So the good stuff: The app itself is great, raids load frequently, it’s a simple process to add the host and be ready and it enables users who don’t live in gym-heavy areas the opportunity to raid much more often with a variety of levelled raids clearly laid out.
However...
The bad stuff: Prior to the premium feature being added I would have given this 5 stars.
Nowadays even a 2* is pushing it. Without paying £15 A MONTH?!? you cannot join battles within the first 10 seconds which means that 96% of the time, it’ll be full before you even get the chance to try and be a part of it. After this happening over and over again, this app very quickly loses its appeal and quite simply, it takes the fun factor out of it.
Yes the app itself is good but the price is ridiculously high for the majority of users who play this free game with occasional purchases for community tickets, storage upgrades etc. If you are truly dedicated to catching them all then I dare say you’ll pay for the ease of this. And at a fiver a month, I’m sure a lot more of us could have been persuaded. But in today’s current climate, £180 on something to ultimately help towards playing a free game...no thanks.

This app is awesome and helps with the most annoying part of the game for me especially during quarentine where I have no one else to raid with. However there is one downside which is that when there’s a event on it can be hard to get into certain raids like mewtwo as the lobbies instantly fill with premium players and the premium subscription is a tad to much money in my opinion especially considering it’s a monthly subscription rather than a one off payment. I think the solution for this would be if the dev was to make it so 1 space was always reserved for a non-premium player and there rest are a every person for themselves that way popular mons like mewtwo would be usable in the app (I have been searching for a mewtwo raid for 3 hours now without being able to get into one yet)

The app itself though works great other less popular raids work without a hitch and if there’s ever a problem it’s usually with a player not inviting you or jumping last second which isn’t a fault on the app itself so can’t knock it for that.

Give it a go it will make raiding so much more accessible for you if you live in the middle of nowhere like me.

It’s also good to make your mons more international I’ve got mons now from Germany, Romania Taiwan, Japan to name a few.
