ElectronicsHub Declares Pokemon GO as Buggiest Game

ElectronicsHub gathered millions of reviews from the 400 most used apps in the Google Play Store. According to the researchers, Pokemon GO was mentioned 153.5 times out of every 1,000 reviews.

The user reviews often called out the mobile game for bugs, crashes, and other issues while playing. The top 10 most bugged games are often mentioned from 80 to over 150 times.

However, the study reminded that bugs are common in any game. While Niantic's mobile game topped the list for this year, the company continues to bring updates for the players. Pokemon GO is still very popular after years of its release due to its active engagement with its community and regular updates for events.
