The game's optimization is a significant concern, particularly for low-end devices, where users report slow performance and long loading times when switching apps. While some players experience smooth gameplay, others find it frustratingly unresponsive, especially on tablets and during events. Overall, the game may be enjoyable, but its optimization issues detract from the experience for many users.
“Pokemon Go runs smoothly without a hitch on my phone, and it's an order of magnitude more complicated.”
“It runs smoothly, hardly lags.”
“Runs smoothly and the tutorial is clear.”
“It's not a bad idler; however, it's unoptimized for low-end phones (chugs if multiple apps are open).”
“Help desk is a joke... events are impossible to complete without spending money. I recommend the Steam version if you are actually going to invest time in this, as it is much easier and has no ads. Performance is slow, and forget about switching apps without waiting for the game to reload (approx. 2 minutes).”
“Not to mention it's not optimized for landscape tablet HD view. Maybe the developers are not aware we have and use tablets too. Either way, a waste of time; I've uninstalled already. Fix it, and let me know via email. I'll try it again if it won't take more than 10 minutes.”
