## Review summary

Reviews praise the app for broad Pokemon Go data and handy features like checklists, backup/restore, and event alerts. However, many users report outdated information, especially for rocket lineups and events, plus inaccuracies in raid data. Reliability issues (crashes, VPN blocks, delays) and a sense of reduced maintenance further affect satisfaction. The app remains valuable for planning, but freshness and stability are the main pain points.

### Pros

- Comprehensive Pokemon Go data: the app provides extensive information on events, spawns, rocket lineups, counters, and moves, making it a useful go-to reference.
- Helpful features for tracking progress: checklists for variants and a backup/restore function to sync data across devices.
- Useful event notifications/alerts for upcoming events.
- Generally regarded as a strong companion tool for raid planning and strategy.

### Cons

- Data often not up-to-date or slow to reflect changes, especially rocket lineups and new events.
- Inaccuracies in raid data and counters (wrong raid bosses, CP values, and unclear lineups).
- Stability and reliability issues (crashes, keyboard issues, VPN blockers) affecting usability.
- Perceived decline in maintenance/support and currentness of information.
- Occasional issues like delayed notifications and features not loading (egg list) for some users.
