No one joining the party
Why aren’t people joining it’s frustrating
Ehhh
Used to be a great app, now you can’t fill a raid lobby at all. Premium members have their lobbies shown at the top, so non premium members have their lobbies buried under premium users. Unless you dish out $15 a month, this app is not worth it.
Straight boys
Straight bots who leave you one short on super mega raids, party is always full because they’re inviting the max amount of trainers possible, pay for the subscription to still struggle to get in a raid you can actually win, you have to carry everyone you get, just overall a terrible group sharing app. Use Poke Genie it’s way better.
Nothing but bots
Raid lobbies are full of low-level bot accounts. They won't participate in the raid, so be prepared to carry the entire team.
Trash
They say wait 10 seconds if you’re not premium, but then one to 10 seconds is over. It automatically says the party is full even though it’s still there we never use again.
Not very good
You either pay $15 per month or won’t get into a popular raid. Many raids have people leave last second, resulting in failed raids and wasted remote raid passes.
Pay to win
Must pay 15 dollars a month in order to get top priority to joining raids, if you don’t pay you don’t get in.
Pay to get in a raid
I hate how theres a thing that forces you to wait 10 seconds to make space for the people who paid for a premium subscription. Its almost impossible getting into a mega raid with this feature. Why is there even a premium subscription in the first place? After this got added, im lowkey considering changing to another app ngl
This app sucks
If there is a good raid and you. Any afford their 15 dollar a month subscription fee it’s impossible to get into raids of the best Pokemon because they make you wait 10 seconds before you can join and it’s actually impossible to get into a a raid with a top boss
Can’t sign out
I can’t sign out there taking my info.
Great
Thank you for this wonderful app, I could finally take down that raid boss and quickly! If there was a 10 star option, that’s what I would rate this app!
App is worthless
App is total garbage. Never once got invited to any raid lobby i joined. Also noticed every person i sent a friend request to, was level 37, with zero xp on the way to lv 38. Bots or something. App is worthless. Pokeraid is recommended from me.
Pay to join
Don’t get this app unless you plan on paying. I tried to join and every time the first 10 seconds are for premium. Give me a chance to get it and see if it’s worth it then I could pay. You lost me. You have been found lacking.
Needs bug fixes
The error message that says only premium users can join raids in the first 10 seconds shows up well after the first 10 seconds, making it impossible to join any raid.
Needs improvement
There needs to be a way to report a host other than when they cancel a lobby, additionally the mass amount of bots accounts that “host” lobbies is insane. Especially when someone pays for a premium membership ($15 a month) to join a raid of 6 people then half the people leave or are high level bot accounts just there for the ride (only need 3 to complete but they’re all afk bots that you don’t realize until the raid is happening and you’ve already invested a remote raid pass). There needs to be a way to reflect that the host is not good.
Bots everywhere
Is every account a bot account? Figure it out
Used to Be Good
I used to love this app, but recently it’s gotten invaded by a bunch of fake users. They wait till the very end to cancel the raid or say that they’ve invited you and they didn’t. When you send the invite, the name in the Pokémon GO is completely different than what they have in raid app. Appears to be a bunch trying to power up fake accounts. Waste of time and I don’t like paying for scammers. Wish this app would do something about it.
ridiculous
can’t join anything without paying
I
It cost money to join within the first 10 seconds so it makes it almost impossible to join raids
Glitches
Joining raids works fine. Having problem with people joining mine. I had a friend download and search for my room but it never shows up and neither does hers when she try’s to host.
Pay to win
Not worth getting unless you want to spend $15 a month
Can’t host
Every since I stopped paying for premium, I can never get anyone to join when I host. Grimsnarl day and I can’t get a single person to join? 😂
Casual raids maybe lol
If you want to host a raid cool no problems, try joining one. Nearly impossible, while you have 60 thousand plus players with advantages based on a monthly extortion payment of 14.99 lol.
Scammers and bots
There a bunch of profiles that will join your raid and dip right before you start trying to screw you out of your raid pass
Oh well
Couldn’t get past the set up screen where it wants to talk about notifications. Wording all jumbled and no button to continue
Can’t host
I loved using the app but whenever I try to host it like never pops out in the front and I just have to wait there and never get the Pokémon I want because nobody can’t see my host
No body joins anymore
Not this apps fault because when it work it’s great the issue is that you will never fill a party anymore and will spend more time staring at the raid timer count down to zero with an empty party.
Just pay for a different premium app
Amazing if you love joining raids just for everyone to leave last second and waste your remote raid passes, just pay for a different apps premium features never had so many issues until I started using this app
No one ever joins
I have hosted countless raids and no one ever joins because my raid does not show up on the list. Tested it with having people around me try to find my lobby and it never shows up
No
Trash
App will freeze once you open it
I downloaded this app and was working fantastic but I had make space so I deleted the app and redownloaded it on same device, every time app opens up it freezes!!!! And when you try putting what’s wrong with the app it won’t let leave feed backs to fix the app 😢
Don’t download the game
Can’t get into a party and premium is a scam
Dynamax
Add dynamax pokemon to remote raid
USE LITERALLY ANY OTHER APP THAN THIS
I’ve tried multiple 5 star raids on this app because other more popular apps (ie Poke Genie) had long wait lists and it is ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH IT!!!! I have lost my remote raid passes EVERY SINGLE TIME because the players who use this app are absolute TRASH!!!! They fill up the lobbies, join the raids, then when it starts they immediately bail leaving 2 maybe 3 players to lose their passes EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!! I have literally NEVER had a successful raid with this app!!!! Just do the right thing and use Poke Genie! It might be a slight wait but you will actually win your raids and you won’t waste your remote raid passes!
Hosting on this app is worthless as well!!! Unlike apps like Poke Genie, to host using this app you have to purchase their premium service. If you don’t you’ll just sit there at the bottom of the list watching your lobby expire over and over. Again, just use Poke Genie. It is a bit of a wait but you’ll actually get your lobby opened and you don’t have to pay money to use it. And the people who use the service are actually quality players. Unlike this TRASH app!!!!!!

How?
How can a party pop up at 9:59 let in the counter be full? What am I paying a premium membership for when I can’t join a party the second it comes up?
Wth? Knocked out of raids
I keep getting knocked out of braids that need the passcode and I finally realized I needed to memorize them or I wasn’t getting back in because once you get kicked out if you don’t remember it, you’re completely shut out and lost your pass. Even when remembering them though now I have lost a total of three passes and I’m about to delete this app fix whatever is going on! It started yesterday anyway!
Stupid Bots
Bots start raid parties and when I add them and it says they invited me I get no invite
Raids
It worked the first few times but now every time I try to join a raid, it sends me to wait endgame when they say invite me click send me back to GO Raid Party and says how was your raid?
Buggy
I click on notifications and never actually get into a raid lobby. This app is awful
Misleading
They put bots with fake parties to try to get you to buy premium for $15/month. Just look at the names of “people” making chats, you’ll see them repeating or having very similar names. I bet once you buy premium that goes away. Annoying👎🏼
Lousy Trainers leave at last minute
Trainers wait until the last few seconds then leave! You are left fighting on your own!
Fake users
The app is great. So not sure the benefit of having/allowing fake users. How are they fake? Stats: I have friended up users (or bots) who show raids but don’t start them. These users all have caught less than 1k Pokemon, walk less than a mile & haven’t been online in the last 2 days (when they clearly just accepted my friend request). Advice for users, friend them up, know who the violators are, don’t go into those raids.
It’s ok
I like this app because it lets you sort what raid types are active, but I have issues with the game when trying to join a raid and don’t get invites. Which means I have to delete the app and reinstall it. There should be a much better way of going about this!
Need premium
Worked great for my first few raids. Then after that I can’t host a raid, tried probably 30 to 50 raids not a single person joined. Most of them were all high level raids. So you either pay the 14.99 to host or it’s just an app to join raids
I have some problems
I like this app but be very careful about when you accept friend requests because I’ve had a lot of people join send a friend request and then immediately leave.
Also there are a lot of people that will join the raid only to leave in the last 10 seconds resulting in a loss of a raid pass
Another thing maybe it’s just me but why is there a purchase for no ads despite the app no having adds?

Good raid are behind a paywall
If you want any good raids you have to be a premium member. App makes you wait 10 seconds before being able to join a lobby if you’re not a premium member and by the time the 10 seconds are up the lobby is full.
