PoGO Plus review

I've had my GO Plus for just over a fortnight now and have been testing it out. I mainly ordered it so I could get my passengers to get Pokestops for me when I'm driving but with the new speed restrictions in place that's not a happening thing. For that reason alone it probably wasn't worth the $50AUD.

Pros:

• Small, light weight
• Can choose whether to let it get Pokestops, Pokemon or both
• Can be more observant of the world around you when using
• Can discreetly play
• Apparently better at calculating walking distance (I haven't really tested this - I've been lazy lately)
• Only uses one ball per Pokemon (where I have a 3 ball rule for basic Pokemon I don't always stick to it)
• Can give to children to play and they wont use all your stardust (however they may cry if you tell them Pokemon has run)
• Can play on phone and it simultaneously (e.g. spin Pokestops while battling a gym works to a degree)

Cons:

• Price tag -probably more than I should waste on a game but I figured if I didn't use it I could resell it easy enough.
• Battery life is pretty short, I didn't use it that much but after one week I had the battery light come up. I replaced it after two weeks as the functionality became unreliable. at least the batteries are reasonably priced (about $2 each) and easy to replace.
• Prioritizes Pokemon over Pokestops
• Only uses Pokeballs
• Pretty ugly (I searched for ideas on how to make it look better but no one has anything other than stickers)
• Small enough to lose easily
• Doesn't let you know when eggs have hatched
