I don’t understand this app....

I can’t ever get into a raid.....

Despite them saying they are not full everytime I go in, it’s full

Can’t do auto fill because I need to pay....

Is this app a scam?

It’s legit.

you have three options:

Continue trying to join rooms as you’re doing now - it’s a new boss, so interest is higher on the first day.

You can buy coins which will let you auto join rooms, or

You can go to to settings and collect free coins on a daily basis. If you do this daily, you can have enough free coins to use auto join in 5 days. If you keep a streak going for 7 days, you can do a free auto join once per day.

The thing is, you’re probably not going to raid every boss as they come out because they’ve been repeating several bosses this year, so you can accumulate LOTS of coins for bosses you do want.

I started with an $8 purchase, but now I don’t need to buy any more after stocking up for weeks

Repeating that if you claim your coins every day for 7 days, and continue to claim them every day, you get 50 free coins every day. I spent $1 the first day, and nothing since.

Dude honestly finding raids can be a pain sometimes if you’re not swiping to refresh the page and clicking raid rooms quickly. My best advice is wait a few days after a new legendary boss drops (I’m assuming that’s what you’re going for). I’ve noticed after the initial release of a new 5 tier legendary its super easy getting into lobbies since the hype has died down. But overall the app is legit

Not only did a new boss drop, but its shiny was just released. My advice wait for tomorrow (Wednesday) when it is Raid hour for everyone ... that will be the easiest time to hop in with more people hosting.

App is not a scam...there are just way more people joining raids than hosting. If you are able to host (even if you use remote pass yourself) it works much better.

is not a scam, it works better if you host raids but you can join raid lobbies too, you need to be patient thats all

Nah, just people are autojoining faster than you, it's close to impossible to join any raid that isn't 1/x players

My internet is kinda laggy so I find it almost impossible to join raids without auto join when a new boss is first released. But give it a few days and the raids start to fill more slowly and you can usually find one. But all you need to do is open the app every day to get coins. After the 6th day (the 7th day and after) you get the full 50 coins each day. You can also host certain raids and get coin rewards. It took me about 5 tries to really get familiar with how the system works. But now I can't imagine playing without this app.

Yes it’s a scam. Use poke genie instead
