Pokévision and other third-party radars have stopped working. Niantic , the developer of Pokemon GO, has limited access to this type of apps that used the game's API to locate Pokémon .
And it's just that Pokémon GO doesn't stop generating news around it.
This time it's the turn of third-party apps that use the game's API to create applications that help us locate specific Pokémon in our area. After the latest update of the Nintendo game,apart from canceling the fingerprint function (which never worked), they have decided to limit access to their servers to all apps and websites that offered Information about the location of the different types of Pokémon.
POKÉVISION DOESN'T WORK BUT WHY?:
Surely if you play Pokémon GO you'll ask yourself this question, right?
The CEO of NIANTIC,in an interview published last Thursday in Forbes magazine, announced that third-party applications that use the game's API, to reveal where the game will appear Pokémon, they would stop working. Well said and done, since Sunday morning they don't work. Many users of this type of radar are complaining a lot on social networks.
“People hurt themselves because with these apps they take a little bit of the fun out of the game,” explained John Hanke, CEO of Niantic. “There are people hacking the game to extract data from our system and that is against our terms of service.”
In addition, he has also commented that these types of applications were interfering with the ability to maintain the quality of service to users and the ability to bring Pokémon GO to more users from all over the world.
Well that's what happened. Apps like Poke Radar, which does not use code from Pokémon Go but depends on the collaboration of users, is still standing. All other apps, even paid apps, that use the Niantic API stop working forever.
John Hanke promises to be working on the system to detect the proximity of Pokémon and warns that the footprints may return in a future update.
So, we have to wait.
