Patrick Allen (Lifehacker) wrote an article with tips about how to work out using Pokémon Go .

Users took an extra 194 steps per day once they started using the app, which approximated to 26% more than usual . </P> <P> Philip Kollar and Allegra Frank (Polygon) both agreed that Pokémon Go was "an exciting social experience", but were not sure how long the game and its popularity would last, stating it could either last for coming years or "end up as a brush fire craze that the whole gaming world is talking about for a few weeks and then is forgotten". </P> <P> Other critics expressed more negative opinions of the game, with many citing frequent crashes and other technical issues, along with shallow gameplay . Kallie Plagge (IGN) said that although the game lacked in polish and depth, the overall experience made up for it . Matt Peckham (Time) criticized the game for its frequent crashes .

Kat Brewster (The Guardian) wrote that although she thought Pokémon Go was not a good game, it was "a great experience". The server problems also received negative press . Miguel Concepcion (GameSpot) said that although he enjoyed the game's strong social appeal and visual design, the game's "initial iteration is a buggy mess on all levels", with one of the reasons being the constant server problems . Another glitch that appeared a few days after launch was the "three - step glitch", reviewers also gave this bug negative press . Patricia Hernandez (Kotaku) said, "the three step glitch adds to what has been a terrible launch for Pokémon Go". Paul Tassi (Forbes) said that due to this bug it's "anyone's best guess where Pokémon are 99% of the time" and that it "renders almost all traditional methods of tracking pointless". Critics also emphasized on the large gap between the rural and urban players .
