My phone isn't compatible:frown: have it on my tablet but obviously can't exactly go go walking around with my tablet everywhere:frown:
Apparently a drinking fountain is a Pokestop? Oh well it's only down the road
I'd play it but it requires me to leave my house.

I thought you liked Bulbasaur? Now you're giving the poor thing a name like that?
Just downloaded, but I live on a farm... There are no Pokemon anywhere in the vicinity of the mile walk I just took :sigh: guess I'll have to go into town to catch 'em all

It's a website for android apps (legal) - here's the link:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/niantic-inc/pokemon-go/pokemon-go-0-29-0-release/pokemon-go-0-29-0-android-apk-download/

I had a quick Google but I couldn't find much on whether it will be compatible or not. Try and see?

Reddit had a thread or something about this. Some good ideas in there. Hopefully Niantic will update to give more pokemon in rural areas. :smile:

Thank you!!! I think i have the app but it says. 'GPS signal not found' :'o Soo close lol x
I can't even download it.

I can on my iPad but I don't want to go about carrying that everywhere.

I can't on my phone because I only have 250mb of data and I'd probably be able to use it for 10 minutes before the bill skyrockets.

I can't on my smaller Samsung tablet because it's not showing up on the Google Play store.

Quote as promised... Pokemon Go has now been officially released in the UK.

If you've downloaded the APK file you should be able to install the app from the play store and log in as usual :smile:

It doesn't use too much data actually. About 5-8mb per hour i'd say. I've been playing since Monday and haven't used much at all.
Ive downloaded the official app and cant even sign in

Please someone enlighten me as to how to catch the damn things! I've been stuck trying to catch a zubat for my entire lunch break and I can't seem to get off this screen!
It annoys me that the gym team colours on this poll don't match up with their actual colours.
