UPDATED 4 Pokémon GO FANS+OTHERS: HAS RUNNING NOW FOR DEBUG. Good news still working as of: 2/18/2026. Works great for my eggs and collecting mega candy's and them long distance requirement tasks needing to be done. Works incredibly well. DON'T LISTEN TO THOSE WHO MADE BAD REVIEWS AS THERE NOT RUNNING IT PROPERLY WHEN IVE USED FROM 2021 TO DATE AND NEVER HAD A ISSUE ONCE. Thanks creators 😁
★★★★★Tyler Gale· Mar 16, 2026
Works perfectly with Pokémon GO. You have to have Google Fit installed and open it to sync before opening POGO back up.
★★★★★Joleene Naylor· Aug 6, 2025
I used the covert mode like instructed, and it works perfectly fine with Pokémon Go. hatched my eggs and finished my distance research. Yay!
★★★★★Bobby· Dec 28, 2025
Follow the instructions for covert mode and the app works just fine for debugging Pokémon Go. Make sure your Google account is connected, and I had my location services off for the time it was debugging. I also used a speed of 6.2 km/h, but I'm not sure if that was necessary. I know in the past adventure sync would stop working after I farmed an exceptional number of candies, so you might need to take a week off from using defit if you're having problems

10 percent of the time it works every time defit panther for lazy Pokémon goers. Seriously though it's a 50 50 shot if it works or not pretty over waiting for it to not register on Google fit.

Well all it ever gives me is 30+ second commercials, whereas it gives my friend 15-second commercials. Don't know why the difference. So after 2 30+ second commercials, I stopped. As I watched her w all 720 min w 15-second commercials. So why do you seem to screw over some and not others? Oh yeah money money money......more 30 sec for me and my roommate is 5,10,15,20-second commercials. Today it won't load any commercials.....great just added. Now it insists on 1 of 2 commercials every time of 60

Had the version before covert mode was added, but auto update did its thing, and now it doesn't work unless I use covert mode. Can't find a way to redownload the previous version.

Ads are like a minute-long now. This app is great. Have had minimal issues. The only one I've had now is the ads are getting longer and longer. There used to be very short ads, even used to get ads that were 10 seconds. Now the ads are a minimum of 1 minute. Wish they had a monthly subscription option, which I would gladly pay to get rid of the ads. There are times I'm on the go and I'm not going to sit through a 1-minute-long ad.
★☆☆☆☆Jack Cheshire· Apr 24, 2025
Getting x2 1 minute ads now, ridiculous! And only works half the time
