What is PokeSensor?
PokeSensor is a mobile application designed for players of the augmented reality game Pokemon Go. It serves as an interactive map and radar to locate nearby Pokemon spawns and rare Pokemon appearances. The app connects to Pokemon Go's servers to pull real-time data on what Pokemon are spawning in the player's vicinity.
PokeSensor's main feature is its live map view. Players can see Pokemon icons popping up on the map to indicate exactly where that Pokemon has spawned. By tapping the icons, users can see details like the Pokemon's name, Combat Power, stats, and how long it will remain spawned for. This gives players the information they need to hunt specific Pokemon in their area.
In addition to the live map, PokeSensor also includes a radar view and notifications to alert users when rare or desirable Pokemon spawn nearby. Users can filter the map and radar by selecting specific Pokemon they want alerts for.
The app relies on crowd-sourced user reports for its spawn data, so its usefulness depends on having an active user base scanning and sharing spawn information in any given area. The more PokeSensor users that are active in an area, the more accurate and up-to-date its Pokemon detection becomes.
By leveraging user reports and real-time spawn data, PokeSensor aims to help Pokemon Go players efficiently find Pokemon spawns without needing to randomly search everywhere the game's radar shows nearby Pokemon in general vicinity.
