A lot of “Pokemon Go” players are still reeling from the demise of “PokeVision”, that third party app that made life easier for the Pokemon hunters.
There are alternative trackers to consider though Niantic did some tweaking of its own by improving the “Sightings” and bringing back the ‘Nearby’ feature. Much of that was covered in a previous post you can read back here.
Just the same, the two enhancements are not expected “Pokemon Go” players to resort to third-party trackers to make the game easier. But like the case of “PokeVision," be reminded that using them could technically fall along the lines of cheating and result in game bans from Niantic.
The Alternatives
Setting the records straight, what app could “Pokemon Go” players consider that is along the lines of “Pokevision”? Here are some of them.
Compass for Pokemon. One of the newest tools available at the moment is “Compass for Pokemon”. The name practically speaks for itself though the hitch is that it is only available for Android. There is no word if an iOS version will follow as of this writing.
“Pokemon Go” Desktop Map. Players who use their desktops to help out their Pokemon-hunting measures, this map includes a scanner from the computer. A Google Map key will be needed, preferably a non-Pokemon Go account.
Pokemesh. An app that should be closely similar to PokeVision is Pokemesh. Players can filter out the “Pokemon Go” characters which come in handy for gamers running the game even if their devices are low on battery.
Skiplagged. Another website-based app that “Pokemon Go” players can use, the only hitch with Skiplagged is that it may only work on large cities since it relies on crowdsourcing. https://skiplagged.com/pokemon/
iOSEmus. For those who dare, this app could be a high-risk option knowing what unlicensed third party apps bring to Apple devices. iOSEmus carry most of the hacks and map scanning features. It also offers some GPS spoofing trick per Slash Gear.
Again, use these third party apps at your own risk!
