Problems with the Gotcha...

What specifically is your problem? I recently got one myself and I may be able to help you. One thing that I will say upfront is that if you have already connected it to a device and then it stops working, try going into your Bluetooth settings and forget this device, then re-sync.

Mine is useless since the updates in March.
Even if it connects, the game crashes and while appears to be connected, it does not actually do anything.
I tried resetting, re-pairing, restarting, nothing works.
I blame Niantic.

I doubt you are missing much, in fact you are most likely achieving a higher catch rate without it. I used mine for a month. Been in the back of my desk draw for the last six months or more. Pulled it out, it pairs fine, threw it back in the draw.

Every time i do this it works! Not saying it will work for everyone but for me it works flawlessly

1. Un pair the gotcha from pogo and your phone.

2. Turn off Bluetooth and Wifi

3. open pogo once loaded turn on Bluetooth

4. go to settings and pair gotcha in pogo (Do Not Pair On Phone)

Btw i am a Android user. I use the S7.
