Pokemon Go Maintenance, Status and Problems

Pokemon Go released July 2016 is a very popular game indeed, but upon release it did not come without its problems. One of the main issues surrounded the its server status, being it down a lot because of the load popularity. This particular GPS iOS and Android free-to-play app game is all about battling, capturing and training Pokemon.

Some of the main issues with Pokemon Go include crashing upon opening being it on smartphone or tablet, login not working, download not installing as well as showing a blank screen once logged in.

The worst case is when the games servers go down completely leaving the game offline and unplayable, of course other issues apply when the game is down for maintenance. Please do report any issue you have with this game, you can also find out when maintenance and updates are happening.

  • Chase

    I cannot log in to my game after being kicked out. For some reason it is not recognizing my email i put in.

  • Davey

    Mine is down in Puerto Rico, server issues yet again or yet still the same problem as the last 2 days.

  • Angela

    I am having issue on mobile data usage only, for some reason it now says i need to authorize but it wont.

  • Dennis

    I updated the Pokemon Go app using the trainer club and now it will not authenticate.

  • Maurice

    Pokemon Go is still down for me, nightmare of a game for now. Guess we have to wait until the popularity dies down a little. Only then will the servers be able to cope with traffic.

  • Nige

    My Pokemon Go app has not worked now for a whole day.

  • Leadon

    My app has got stuck on the loading screen, there is nothing I can do other than shut phone down and try again. But when I do it gets stuck again. Pokemon Go servers sucks.

  • Alejandro Arcia

    Barely came out and there working on the number one app for both apple and android and your going to give up. Typical quitter

  • Alejandro Arcia

    Imagine yourself opening a burger joint and ordering 5000 patties to start off with and on your first day open you have sold out the 5000 burgers but still have another 5000 customers who want to buy it. You have to shutdown temporarily until you make the second order from the food company. That’s the closest I can get to explaining what happening with this #1 app. Have patience people. TM

  • Megan Russell

    Stuck at loading screen. Haven’t been able to log on for two hours now.

  • JackFox

    Let me guess, you were Team Mystic. Id give up if I were Team Mystic too.

  • SulfurChlorine

    Dunno if it’s the same in america but here in Sweden I can’t log in. Maybe it will work tommorrow? They’re hopefully working on it.

  • darkose098

    pokemon servers in puerto rico are down and when i log in theres absolutely no pokemon near far or anywhere to be found. I want to know what they are doing to fix the darn server issue. Geez why would they or anyone get the app in all the countries without working out the server problem first. Don’t say we’ll fix it and do nothing. I honestly think they should’ve tested it out before launching it to the public just to save them from the trouble of doing it now and losing alot of pokemon game fans and fellow gamers.

  • Veronica

  • Katalias

    Is it really possible to play Pokemon go on an iPad? I keep receiving no gps error messages in my house and no internet connection outside. I have been looking for solutions but none of them seem to work. Is this due to the server or Pokemon go doesn’t work on iPads?

  • Not me

    You need a sim card to play, so it’s only possible on phones, that’s giving you the no gps error.. But I thought there was a way around it, you should try to hit google.

  • CGW409

    Been locked out since at least 11PM Chicago time 6-19-17 though it was working when I shut down around 4-5 PM. While this has happened several times over the last several months my standard “hit forgot password” fix is not working this time and still locked out.
    Seems to be affecting Trainers Club accounts only as a Google log in account I created the first time I ran in to the lockout issue to see if it was my phone or PG opens and runs just fine.
    Getting frustrated as I’ve been grinding the account since September of last year and am not looking forward to starting from scratch.
