User Reviews

Campfire is valued as a map-based, communication-focused companion to Pokémon Go for organizing meetups and raids, especially where players are sparse. However, widespread bugs, flaky raid loading, long queues, missing raid types like shadow raids, and outdated map data severely limit its usefulness, yielding a mostly negative overall sentiment despite its potential.

Pros

The map feature is useful for locating raids, meetups, and points of interest.
Built-in messaging helps connect trainers without exposing personal information.
Supports meetups and group coordination, useful for rural areas with fewer resources.
Acts as a helpful companion to Pokémon Go for coordinating events and raids.

Cons

Bugs and reliability issues make the app often buggy and unstable.
Raid hosting/joining is slow or fail-prone with long queues and loading problems.
Lack of support for newer raid types (e.g., shadow raids) and missing related features.
Inaccurate or outdated map/spawn data reduces usefulness for finding raids.
Overall UX is slow and clunky, with performance issues hindering use.

Recent reviews

The amount of unsolicited notifications is crazy. Every chat/channel that I mute, I still get notifications. If I completely disable notifications then I don’t hear from messages from my friends. Useless platform

So I bought Niantic campfire because I wanted to connect in my local area for raids/PVE. So when I bought it, and I got it, I can’t use it because I’m too young/not that young. So now I purchased this app for basically nothing. I am a dedicated player and I can’t use it. So that’s why it’s a 1 star review. And I know it’s to stop me from chatting with potentially bad people, but I’m a dedicated player not that young and i wasted my money. I’m disappointed kind of.
