Why isn't Pokémon GO's Pokevision or Pokéradar working?

The changes introduced by Pokémon GO are not making players around the world overly happy. In fact, have eliminated the traces that appeared on the radar and some users have had problems with their accounts, initially believing that they would return to level 1 when some they were already in 14. But also, third-party applications have stopped working.

With a simple search on Twitter we can find infinite complaints since this last updateMessages like “the update reset my progress and put me at level 1, a small part of me died”. And some others explaining that they were at level 14 and had passed to level 2. Something that happened because the update uses the account your browser works with, if it is different from the one of Pokémon, you'll create a new game. So it's as easy as quitting the game and signing in with the correct account.

But the problem has come with third-party applications such as Pokevision or Pokéradar , which have stopped working since this update. What happened?

Goodbye third-party applications for Pokémon GO

It could be said at this point that Pokémon GO has become the goose that lays the golden eggs of mobile applicationsThis is how external (third-party) applications were created that helped locate the creatures, making them easier to hunt and that were gaining a lot of popularity both on the Play Store as in the App Store. But after the update, both Pokevision and Pokéradar have stopped working So the search for pokemons will be a little more complicated from now on, since the company believes that this type of apps breaks the essence of the game.

Through his Twitter account, Pokévision announced that they had no choice but to accept the wish of Niantic and Nintendo, which is to cancel third-party applications “I wish we had good news. At the moment we respect the wishes (the companies)”, they published on their account on social networks. But these two have not been the only ones,Pokéradar or Pokéhound have also been disabled in the last few hours.

In fact, criticism continues to come at the company for doing this.Many people complain about the difficulty of playing without external help now,and above all because they have also limited some other utilities that were previously in the game.

No fingerprints or battery saving

In addition to third-party applications, there are two reasons that have been criticized by Niantic. First of all, the traces have been eliminated And it is that if it seemed that they were working to improve this system, what would be the marks of the movement of the pokémons that would help us to know its position better, they have finally eliminated it.

Some dare to say that this has only been done to delay the hunting of all pokémons a bit, since it has appeared people assuring that they had already managed to hunt them all. With which, without the footprints it will be a little more complex to get the exact location.

And another of the points is the elimination of saving mode Games that use our location all the time tend to consume a lot of battery, with which there was an option in which we marked a kind of saving in the game. In this update it has also been removed, causing even more discomfort among gamers.
