“Pokemon Go” Cheat Apps: Predictable Levels Of Underhanded Gaming

Apps that are related to “Pokemon Go” in one way or another have been popping up in record numbers, which isn’t all that surprising considering what the actual gaming app has managed to achieve. However, there are a considerable number of these programs that not everyone knows about and which makes playing the game a lot easier than anyone realizes.

As Forbes notes, apps that help players locate “Pokemons” a lot easier have seen explosive growth as “Pokemon Go” blasted through every record ever. Some of the most popular in this category are “Poke Radar” and “Pokevision.”

“Poke Radar” can be found on the App Store and it relies on user input in order to track and encode the locations where players were able to find “Pokemons” and what type those “Pokemons” were. Obviously, this allows the players to be able to categorize each sector based on whether or not they have already caught the critters found there.

With “Pokevision,” the same concept as with “Poke Radar” applies. The only difference is that instead of relying on users, “Pokevision” scrapes data directly from the streams “Niantic Labs” is sending players. Does this practice seem questionable? So far, the developers of the game haven’t really made any move to stop the app makers.

In any case, much of the success that these apps were getting depended on how players of “Pokemon Go” were just thrust into the world without detailed instructions on how to play the game. As such, they had to figure out many of the app’s system themselves, which made playing frustrating for some.

This has led some players like “_problemz” to use cheats in order to reach the end of the game and attain the highest levels. According to Comicbook, the player admitted to using bots in order to accumulate the millions of experience points necessary to reach the highest levels in the game.
