As a sleep tracking device, it doesn't have a mic so you don't get the full sleep tracking features. As a Pokémon Go peripheral, the ability to use the device to semi-auto catch Pokémon with a Great or Ultra ball has been added, but that's all. There is no other features, no pedometer for egg hatching, no way to carry a Pokémon inside like with the regular Pokéball plus. You do get an exclusive mission on Go, but the rewards are all Snorlax wearing a sleep hat, nothing else special.

Works good for catching but the gawd-awful vibration is so loud and obnoxious.. and it can't be disabled. Its rather awkward to have my purse buzzing while shopping in a grocery store, etc.

Absolutely horrible product and i regret buying it. You cannot turn off the very loud Pikachu voice. The LEDs are so bright and obnoxious. The worst part is the never ending intense vibration. Absolutely terrible and i would not recommend it to an enemy.

2nd best Poke catcher

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Cons: Very loud in a public setting (can be turned off). Vibrates very often (cannot be turned off). LEDs also very bright (cannot be turned off). In order to use other pokeballs you must manually press the button. When reconnecting device it may take a minute for the catcher to start working again. Averages around 30 minutes per session before having to reconnect. Not sure of theres a way to to check battery life. Pros: Battery lasts the whole day. Has the capability to use all pokeballs. Well made, doesnt feel cheap. Pokémon Sleep feature gives bonus rewards. Still $40 cheaper than its competitor DUOMON. Just as fast as the DUOMON when catching pokemon or spinning stops. Overall fun to use, compact, small, easy to use.

Doesn’t catch

The device is probably fine but it’s useless because the software didn’t work. I connected it to Pokemon go on an iPhone and it immediately caught one Pokemon and then nothing. It ignores all nearby Pokemon after that first one despite having an active connection to the device.

Its only been one day and honestly the amount of problems for something that should have been simple is crazy.
Pros:
- Very easy to pair the device
- Connects to pokemon go easily - you do not need to press the device to connect it
- Auto catches & auto spins & faster than pokeball plus (when it actually works)
- Slimmer & Portable (if coming from pokeball plus)
- Longer battery life
- Comes with a field research
- Using the sleep function you get stardust & hearts for your buddy for just sleeping - you probably get other stuff too but that is what I just got so far.
Cons:
- Expensive $60 is crazy - $40 is a fair price
- Included Strap & clip honestly sucks (especially the clip & not a fan of the color) the clip uses weak magnets so not much of a use to it. It takes no effort for it to come off and now you have your device back to swinging from the strap
- The colors when it starts lighting up is too bright (probably drains the battery faster too)
- Vibration is crazy insane on this device. DO NOT leave it connected. unattended, and left on a table. IT will fall off.
- Lack of instructions on how to use the device with only 2 buttons, but there's different combinations that isnt really clear.
- Auto catching & auto spinning does not consistently work - Multiple times the device does not register that there is a pokemon or a pokestop in range... For some reason even when the device register that a pokestop is in range a blue light will blink and you will have to press the main button to spin the pokestop. THE PROBLEM is I have the device set to AUTO SPIN so why do I have to press the button? Something happened within the first 4 hours of using it... If anyone has an explanation please lmk because it was not doing this when I took it out the box and used it the first time. I have the settings set to auto spin... I know I have the right settings on because the device does auto spin occasionally (VERY rare)
- Pokemon sleep is not out yet which I didnt know and is not a huge problem, but its still a 'what? why?' moment (said to release late July)
If the auto catching & auto spin worked easily a 4/5 star, until then 2/5 stars. Would recommend just because it will probably be sold out eventually

If you are a serious Pokémon go player you need an auto catcher. This auto catcher is really easy to use and sync up. It spins stops and locks onto wild Pokémon at a surprisingly fast rate. The battery on this thing is nothing to laugh at it will normally last me a few days depending on how much I play. It has never died on me while in use. It’s really nice to be able to grind while not looking at your phone, I just turn this thing on while I walk my dog and it does all the work I can really enjoy my walk without staring at my phone. You can rack up tons of stardust with this thing if you use a starpiece during one of the bonus stardust events.
Some of the things that I don’t like about this product is that it vibrates every time it interacts with anything in the game, it would be nice to turn that off. The center button is also kind of delicate I cracked mine. Make sure to get this item insured so you can trade it in if it breaks. But other than that I really like this product I would recommend to anyone who seriously plays.
