Go-tcha Update

Got a new iPhone and had trouble connecting the Go-tcha Ranger to my Bluetooth. This worked perfectly on iOS 18.

My Go-tcha began defaulting to no spin, no catch upon startup. Was unable to connect to this app until I cleared Safari web browser cache, Go-tcha app was able to connect and I reset defaults. Datel needs to update FAQ with this fix.

I have had 3 of these over the course of 4-5 years. When they first came out they were insane, I could burn through 100pokeballs in minutes just cruising a parking lot. Things have changed since then it takes a few seconds per pokemon now so you have to be walking to clear out areas which is fine since I like to walk. The connectivity issues are kinda bad also now but I think that might be on niantics end not the gotchas. Iv noticed when I use it on walks it seems to stay connected longer then staying static around a bunch of stops. Walking or driving I can get it to stay connected for about 45min but when standing still it seems closer to 10. I still think it’s great I just turn my on every time I drive somewhere and it will spin stops as long as your below 35mph. I also like to take it on hikes so I’m not staring at my phone the whole time and can enjoy the walk. For me the catch rate has been around 33%. I never run out of poke balls or really any items anymore. I find myself deleting great balls and just keeping poke and ultras.

The app will not connect to my gotcha even tho I’ve disconnected and forgotten the device from my phone and pogo app. It says the last update was a year ago.. pretty sure there have been major iOS updates since then.. does this mean this app is no longer receiving updates? Gotcha is working but there is latency where it takes a while for it to find anything to catch/spin that I was hoping to address.

honestly this has always worked like an absolute charm for me and I left mine at a hotel on vacation and they don’t seem to sell this one anymore and I bought the UK version like an idiot 🥹

What an absolute waste of time and money, Datel has no support, their product is garbage.

It connects to go and spins stops - sometimes - but it doesn’t catch Pokémon anymore, and I can’t get it to connect to the app. I’ve tried it while plugged into the charger, while unplugged, nothing works since the new update.

Barely works. Don’t Recommend.

1. Install the app 2. Disconnect the watch from the Bluetooth 3. Remove the device from the Pokémon go setting. (If it’s connected in app) 4. Once the device is disconnected from Pokémon go settings. Turn on and connect the devices within the app. 5. If this did not work check YouTube for other methods. YouTube video title: Pokémon go-cha update: Troubleshooting connectivity and upgrading 2

Already tried pairing / forgetting the device . No longer connects to Go or this app.
