After reading some reviews about the screen getting scratched up quickly I put some packing tape and used a razor to CAREFULLY cut it to size as a cheap and effective screen protecor that is working well.
These things disconnect from GO about every hour or two; but I believe this is due to the latest game updates as my Pokéball Plus does the same thing.
IF YOU USE MULTIPLE DEVICES READ:
I originally had one Gotcha that I had paired with my S8+ and XS Max and would connect which ever one I wanted to use that day. I ended up getting another Gotcha and noticed weird anomolies when attempting to pair to one that already had one paired. Screen turning off on the gotcha and wouldnt stay on while attempting to pair. I discovered you must go to your devices bluetooth settings and forget the first one, then attempt to pair the new one.
Now, I have a device my wife carries around with which ever phone I didnt want to use that day, a spare powerbank, and I have one. I noticed that if I accedentally leave capture all on I run out of balls quick (about 100 - 200 a day) so my advice would be to only have spin/new captcha's on unless you shelling out wads for balls.

Buggy device
The good: when it's connected it works as expected. It lasts a few days with semi frequent use. Once connected with the app it's fairly easy to set up. The app also shows statistics on catch rate (in general seems to be about 33%, and much lower when it comes to anything better than a pidgey).The bad:• It's extremely difficult to understand how to set it up without using the app, and the instructions are useless and confusing.• It's pointless to use it as a phone charger, as the battery is so small, you'd be lucky to get only a few % on any modern phone.• The flashlight is also just as useless due to being so weak you can't see the ground in front of you.• The attached cords seem to be getting loose from their spots in the device.Worst of all is the device has been glitching. Once a week or so it will stop auto catching pokemon. In game it will say pokemon found, but the device will display the "found items at pokestop" screen indefinitely until I tap the button on it. I have to do this ON EVERY SINGLE POKEMON it wants to catch. After I tap the button it will proceed to catch attempt, then repeat the process. It does not matter if I restart my phone, or repair the device. The past few times I had to completely drain the battery until it stopped powering on, then it seemed to work fine. This latest time it has been doing this for going on 3 days now. I have also confirmed multiple times auto catch and auto spin are enabled in both Pokemon Go and the Go-tcha app.In summary, go with something else, this is not worth the money.
