User Reviews for PokeRaid - Raid From Home

Lots of room for improvement

I download this app to help join raids in other regions of the world where only certain raids were being offered. I coughed up $1 to use the auto join feature because I was wasting too much time trying to manually join a room. Every time I would hit the refresh button 20 to 50 times then finally see a room that was open and had some space, I was never quick enough to get into the raid before somebody else jumped in ahead of me. I used the auto join feature and waited in line for about 20 minutes before a room became available. The worst part was that I could not navigate away from the app or close my phone down I had to sit there and keep my phone awake for the entire 20 minutes otherwise I would lose my place in line. The app seriously needs a way to alert me when my place in line is getting near and allow me to navigate away from the app. It would be awesome if the app was smart enough to notice the rate that the line is moving and give me a two minute warning when my place is almost up. Anyway, I finally joined a room for 50 coins and the person never invited me to the raid so it was all a big bust. There is no way to recover lost coins so it feels like a big rip off. It’s a good idea for an app, but there’s lots of room for improvement.

Wasted my money, big scam/waste of remote pass

So you have to pay for coins in order to even join these raids first off, which is stupid and profitting off of the Niantic’s community’s hard work. Next let’s talk about the queue they make you wait in after you have already given them your money. Example, to join an Uxie raid I waited from 1am my time in a 8,000+ person queue, finally at 6am I am down to 35, and then the app bugs out, kicks me out, and when I rejoin I’m waiting after 3000+ more players again. Then we’ll talk about how you loose money. Well out of 5 raids THAT I HAVE PAID TO JOIN, I’ve gotten in 2. Meaning I’ve thrown away the other money it took to get through those nasty, long queues just to get ignored or have the raid end in 1 minute, or the whole group won’t join and there’s not enough to carry so we inevitably loose and loose our pass. Finally we’ll talk about the rating system. This system could save the entire app, not allowing people with bad ratings to participate as often. Instead, you rate someone who screwed you or insulted you poorly, and then they keep getting to ruin other people’s experience. These ratings should be what is determined as to whether people get charged or not, or make sure everyone gets to complete the raid. There are many improvements this app needs. It is a great concept, but with many greater flaws. DO NOT download this, do not waste your time in never ending queues, and DO NOT PAY THEM A DIME.

Good concept but not transparent about in-app purchases

I love the concept but had a very bad experience the first time I used it. I couldn’t join any raids using the “free” feature, so I paid for coins to auto join. The app added me to a raid that had already concluded, and there was nothing I could do. I sent feedback but still don’t know if I will get my coins back. A very frustrating first experience.Downgrading to 1 star. I turned on the auto join feature after paying 3.99 for 500 coins. It added me to one raid that was already over. I the. successfully did a second raid, and then I somehow got added to two more raids without my knowledge, and I am now out 200 coins. This is a rip off. I don’t think the developer is a fraudster, but the design is so poor and there is no control. I feel robbed of 150 coins.Upgrading to 3 stars because their customer service is responsive. They really should have a pop up before you take an action that costs coins. I was quickly down 200 coins because I didn’t at first understand how the auto join feature worked. I was confused and took a series of actions that resulted in debits to my coin balance, but I had no clue that I was doing something that cost coins.

Bugs and glitches and low leveled players.

When I first got this game I loved and played it all the time but now whenever I open the app it usually only shows 2 raids at a time and others disappear all the time. There are a lot of low level players around level 20 who always get in first and a lot of moderately high level people can not join the raid because there is a level 22 person in the raid room. And I know that you can waste your coins to make it higher level people joining the raid, it costs 100 or 50 to activate it. I feel like low level players shouldn’t be allowed to join other peoples raids until they are at least level 30+. Another thing is that level 30 people all together in a raid will most likely defeat a raid boss Pokémon depending on what it it. Thus the game developers should do some research. So basically they should fix the bug where there are only 2-3 raid rooms at a time and they should be strict on low level players so a lot more players can have fun enjoying the game and do research on the raid boss Pokémon that is out.

Excellent Worldwide Raid App

I’ve tried a couple pokémon go apps for raids and this is my most favorite, by far. It’s easy to use. For the part, other trainers are good about quickly adding you to their friend lists and starting raids quickly. Occasionally, you get a troll. Though, I’ve realized sometimes it’s new ppl using the app that do not understand how to successfully conduct a raid. Instead of explaining this is the issue, they’ll simply leave the raid room. It can be frustrating. Especially, if you recently joined and purchased coins. You will lose the 50 coins you used to Auto Join the raid if the trainer botches the raid. Now that i check in daily and have accumulated heaps of coins, it’s not as bad of a loss. Coins: if you check in everyday for a week, you get a 5-25 coins per day. On day 7 you get 50 coins. if you continue to check in daily, you get 50 coins every day. If you miss a day checking in, it starts over from day 1. it’s a fantastic perk~worth a daily check in. All in All? It’s an excellent app. If you want to make friends for long distance gifts, they have a room for that. I’m there for raiding usually from midnight to 5am when there are none going on in my country. I highly recommend PokeRaidApp!

Nice try.. impossible to use

8/10 times all the raids that pop up after refreshing are completely full.. the other two times the raid is full after you click on it. I have been attempting to use this app for weeks but i have NEVER gotten into a single raid from the general home menu. The only times i managed to get in a raid is through the search raid function. i got the coins waiting a whole week using the app everyday (or you can buy coins... DONT) finally i was able to search the raid i wanted and of course there was not near enough hosts... i was number 400 in a queue. I decided to wait a few days for a different raid, when i finally got in, it was all level 20s, i wasted a raid pass i had paid for. Fast forward another week of not being able to normally join the raids and building up the free coins i searched for another raid only for the host to not invite anybody, i had to wait another week if i wanted to join any raid off this app for free. If you decide to try out this app you need good internet connection to get a spot in a lobby and a lot of patience. i would never suggest to buy the coins as theres no guarantee youll get all the way through the raid youre searching for. Just find a raid discord, you can get in the raid you want without having to pay.

Amazing and I just got it!

First of all this app is Amazing! I’ve hosted 2 raids so far and it’s a smooth experience, only takes like 10 minutes at the most! Definitely like helping people out so if I can host a raid 4 times that’s 4 x 5 people and that’s 20 people I can help do the raid! Also joined a mega Salamence also a smooth experience and the host was nice enough to help me figure out a couple things like what “AnR” means or how to review the host! Overall a fast experience and nice people so I’ll be using this app for years to come! (They also have a part where you can add others for Scatterbug all around the world!) Will edit if necessary Edit: I forgot to add that it’s also great for making friends and getting gifts! Always low on poke balls so this is amazing Edit 2: After using the app for about a month I’ve encountered a few fake rooms and the hosts are trolls, but it’s not really hard to figure out that and just leave. Still a pretty smooth experience and will continue using!

Tech is a mess! Hosts often don’t send invites.

The raid rooms appear in a list with”waiting for guests” or “raid full”. You have to click on the open raid and in the slim chance the room is not already full, you have milli-seconds to click join raid at the bottom of the screen. Most of the time it will tell you the room is full. Occasionally it will let you join a room where the raid has already startedOr even finished. It appears that if someone leaves the raid (like when they beat the boss), the computer sees an opening and puts the room back in the que. This is very frustrating, so you eventually buy coins so you can auto join. I have had 7 successful raids that were great. However, I have had 4 failed attempts at raids. I sent the friend requests, and the hosts never invited me to the raid. Another time I made it into the battle only to find that there were only 4 trainers total (for a mega). Invites failed to go out to half the room. A minute in everyone dropped out. I got my raid pass back, but the Poke Raid Coins were waisted. Save your TIME and frustration. Look elsewhere.

Effective but expensive

Raid organization mechanics have been well thought-out and the end result is a very user-friendly raid coordination experience. On the downside, this app takes the cake for the most extreme “nickel and dime“ approach I have ever experienced in any app. The price (in “coins”) for doing anything beyond the very basic essentials is obscene. I’m actually surprised I have not yet come across “Want to breathe? 50 coins”.The developer really needs to step up the amount of functionality available in the “free” version to something worthwhile. After all, they ARE collecting ad revenue from those annoying banners. One can bypass those ads for…you guessed it…an insane amount of coins. But even then, you will still be nickeled and dimed for selecting any parameter beyond the very basic offering, every single raid. This developer reeks of greed, almost as much as Niantic.Bottom line, there needs to be a “premium” version that bypasses ads and delivers full functionality—and for a reasonable price. I think that would make this app the #1 go-to app for raid coordination. Until then, PokeNav-enabled raid servers on Discord is still the better option in my mind.

Could be better

Be aware that there are either bots who will never start the raid or inexperienced people who botch things up and not invite everyone in the raid, or do the raid with people who showed up and no one in your group gets invited. There are times where the host forgets to or is too lazy to close the raid group after it has started, and once it’s finished and people leave, you run the risk of getting placed into a completed raid by the auto join feature. Some tips: You can use the same raid pass if you lose as long as it’s the same raid. If you can’t move just restart and rejoin, sometimes it asks you to buy another raid pass but you will only use the one you already activated. Also if it prompts you to use a regular pass instead of a remote pass, just restart the game and try to join ASAP. Lastly, pay attention to the host ratings, I wouldn’t join anyone’s raid with less than 4 stars As far as I know, you will not be refunded coins even if it’s wasn’t your fault that you were not invited. We gotta be able to dispute this so we don’t just keep losing money without being able to do raids.
