Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought my Pokemon Go Plus at a retail store, not Amazon, but wanted to give an review here for those who are thinking about spending the money. First, the original retail price was $35.99, those who are selling for more are price gouging. Wait for it to restock at the appropriate price, as this is a good product, but not worth what some are charging. First, the good. I can play Pokemon Go while my screen is off, with my phone in my purse of pocket. It tracks steps for your buddy candy and egg hatching, it notifies you when a pokemon/stop is nearby. You can collect items from your pokestop when it vibrates and shows a blue light. You can catch a pokemon if it flashes a green or yellow light (yellow indicates that it's a pokemon you haven't yet caught or encountered). Now, the bad. The device functions, however, when "catching" you only throw one pokeball, a regular pokeball. It will be a normal throw, no raspberry, no great/utlra ball. You get one chance and the pokemon is either caught or runs away. As a level 21, my catch rate is terrible, but I got a dratini last night. Also, prior to getting the device, I'd never had a Pokemon in my house, but have had several since yesterday, though out of the 10, I have caught none of them. The bracelet is terrible. It's difficult to get on and off because it has no buckle and it is very small. My husband cut his off and replaced it with a modified paracord bracelet. Not only is the bracelet terrible, you have to remove the battery cover it comes with (clip) and screw it onto the bracelet, instead of just snapping in and not having to get a screwdriver out. It was bafflingly bad design. The device is not rechargeable, but uses a lithium ion watch battery, a very affordable battery. I have no idea how often it'll need to be replaced, and I think they chose to do it this way for affordability on their part, not ours. Before an update yesterday, you couldn't catch pokemon new to the pokedex. If you clicked the button there was no way to catch it, it looks like they have fixed this in the update, though with my terrible capture rate, I don't know if I will every be able to confirm this. I bet it seems strange that I gave this item so many stars as well as so many complaints, but I am overall very pleased with the purchase. I think that if they added the ability to throw multiple balls, and do a long press for a raspberry, I would give it 5 stars even with the flaws. I am pleased to not have to have my phone constantly in my hand now, I am thrilled that my steps will be counted toward my progress, I am excited to have the app continue to run passively in the background. I wish the casing were more user friendly and wish it had a rechargeable battery, but I feel the price is reasonable with these things in mind.
