Here's the official description from Google Play itself: Therefore do not expect top notch functionality during usage, but it will get the key job done: finding Pokemon on a map. But one thing that might put some users off is the fact that it's still in beta. Called 'Smart Poke V2,' the app is absolutely free and available to download directly from Google Play for Android devices. Luckily and quite strangely though, one app managed to come out unscathed. If that wasn't bad enough already, Niantic made things worse by blocking IP addresses of online services so that they can't access their servers to initiate a request to find Pokemon nearby. But that's not the only thing that made a dramatic exit from the game - Niantic in the background started thwarting apps and services that let users find Pokemon on a map.

With it came a handful of changes while ditching the footsteps feature in Nearby. Over the weekend Niantic pushed out a major update to Pokemon GO. Despite Niantic's efforts to take down apps that help users find Pokemon on a map, this Android app bypasses all the restrictions put in place and works like a champ!
