This Android app is the best way to find pokémon on the go

There's an entire digital cottage industry sprouting up around Pokémon Go, the explosively popular augmented reality game that has people hitting the streets scouring for imaginary pocket monsters. Naturally, the most common of these third-party products revolve around maps that help you locate which pokémon are nearby and when they tend to disappear. We've already heard about the fully-featured Android app called Poké Live.

The app now works full-time at the social network on its Android user interface team.

Granted, Poké Live does not yet have a tool to search beyond your current location, so you can't use it to, say, check in about a locale you know you'll be traveling to some time in the future. It also uses some pretty standard banner ads displayed at the top of the screen that could annoy fans of a competing map's ad-free interface. But for the eager player planning a roaming session to catch new creatures, Poké Live does the job better than any web tool out there.
