I’ve been using Pokémon Friends for a few weeks now, and it’s become a regular part of my routine—especially during big in-game events. The app pulls data from your linked Pokémon GO account and shows your current buddies, candy counts, and even walking progress without needing to open the game itself. It’s super handy when I’m multitasking or just don’t want to drain my battery. I also love the news section; it aggregates event info from across the Pokémon ecosystem so I don’t have to hunt through social media or official blogs. One thing I’d love to see improved is the notification customization—right now, it’s a bit all-or-nothing. But overall, if you play regularly and want to stay organized, this is a no-brainer. It doesn’t try to do everything, but what it does, it does well.
