I've used this app on and off since the Lake Trio and put money into buying Auto Join coins. Auto Join is pretty much the only way to get into hot raids (no judgement here). But the Auto Join feature is very spotty. Roughly 70% of the time after my spot in the long queue (sometimes tens-of-thousands) gets to the low double digits, I'll get bumped back to the start of the queue, forcing me to wait hours again ... and sometimes it will bump me back to the start again. Most of the time I just give up and regret spending money on this app. When it works, though, it works very well.

So I'd like to add my two cents. If you're like me with very few real life friends who play and don't have Facebook, this app is an absolute must have. I've gone through legendary raids across the globe without knowing anyone in game. It's free unless you take advantage of the reserve a raid deal or the auto join function. And so long as you have a decent connection, you can refresh the main page until you find a raid. It's been amazing for me seeing as it's allowed me to complete 5 star raids.

I really enjoy the app and being able to match with people around the world to get raids done. However, I can not give it 5 stars due to the auto join feature, making it so difficult for people who don't wanna pay for coins to get into raids. Sometimes, it takes me hours to get into a raid because auto fill almost makes it impossible. I have talked to multiple other people who agree with me.

it's a bit difficult to navigate at first but once you get the hang of it , it works great . it's also the only way I've found to do remote raids since they nerfed the campfire app . but if you are looking for a solution to the campfire app not working anymore then look no further . this is the only one I have found that works . it's confusing but it works , hope you guys catch that shundo legendary !!! have fun!

I initially downloaded this app on a whim, not really expecting it to help a lot more with finding raids in comparison to campfire, but hopeful that I'd be proven wrong. Oh boy, was I proven wrong. It's shockingly easy to find and join raids, and I haven't lost a single raid I've joined through Pokeraid, since we always have enough people to take down the pokemon with relative ease. Definitely recommend!

Update: while the fact that some users abuse the privilege of this app, after losing coins to hosts that didn't invite everyone, I wrote to the creator of the app to complain. They were able to confirm that I wasn't invited after paying 50 coins, and they refunded the coins I lost. While it may be hard, or impossible, to stop this from happening, at least their response to correct the situation's effects on me were commendable

Does it work? Yes, very well. I have been able to find help to get many of the 5 star raids. The loading times are an issue, though. 5 seconds to load a page, so by that time, the raid is full, pushing for auto join, which costs 50 coins, so you end up using them fast. There's no indication you've been put in a room unless you stare at the screen, so you can accidently end up spending more than you intend sometimes.

It's good. But the fact that there's no way to kick someone that is not responding, especially when we need to redo a raid is a real struggle. Not only that, I can't find a way to adjust the lobby count after the room has been created. And I've dealt with 3 raids in a row today where people joined and then left after we started the invites near the end of the raid timer really sucks. A lot of these issues are caused more by the people that use the app, but it gives a sour taste to the app.

It's OK. I'm having to write down the trainer code and open the GO app and type it in. I can't figure out how to scan the trainer's QR code or copy and paste the code. With a little bit of work and perseverance, I was able to participate in 2 battles, win and complete my tasks in GO. I'm running into quite a few closed battles, I had to keep trying & look for something open. On the up side this app pays you just for opening it every day, just what I needed another app to manage. Lol.

Love this app! I'm now the proud trainer of several legendary and mega evolved Pokemon, that simply wouldn't be possible for me without the app! The app ensures that only the needed amount of players, that are strong enough, enter the raid room. That way you aren't stuck with a bunch of invites and unsure of who was first in line and short on time. It's the quickest and easiest method compared to the other available options, for people like me, who don't have a bunch of raiding buddies.
