Niantic has been known to take cheats and hack seriously on “Pokemon Go” though some apps fall in the gray are of such. One app that falls into that niche is the PokeGOD app currently available from the App Store.
The PokeGOD app works more like a bot, something that is curiously against Niantic’s terms of service for “Pokemon Go”. But the tricky part of it all is being put up at the Apple App Store, something that will cost $1.99 to download, BGR reported. This follows a previous post where using a joystick could make playing the AR game a lot easier
How PokeGOD app works
Essentially, it is a considered a tool that can help do the “Pokemon Go” catching for you. It tries to work around the manner of traditional walking of players but set at a pace that would throw Niantic off guard.
The obvious aid here is that “Pokemon Go” players don’t have to travel or walk to certain destinations with everything simulated. All players have to do is plot the course and the app does the rest in possibly apprehending those critters without moving from where the player actually is.
For PokeGOD to work efficiently, “Pokemon Go” players need to make sure their account has the proper resources through the journey (i.e. PokeBalls) to capture the elusive Pokemon. With some patience and tactics, “Pokemon Go” players should be leveling up and filling their PokeDex with Pokemon in no time.
But is it a cheat?
Here is the tricky part tied up to the paid PokeGOD app. Most are aware how Niantic has battled third-party apps and bots to play the game. But the fact that this app is available from the Apple App Store is a mystery.
iOS-run devices are normally the ones who get meager share of apps and hacks but somehow PokeGOD make it through the Apple process. Just the same, this is one app that could work but with risks.
For its part, it was stated by Anobot LLC that they would not be responsible for any actions taken on “Pokemon Go” accounts. Hence, using this tool carries some risks, including bans on Niantic’s end so proceed with caution. Check out the video demo below.
