Pokemon Go app fans will surely remember FastPokeMap, one of the best Pokemon Go map trackers there was until Niantic shut it down.
But just a few days ago, a series of tweets from the app's official Twitter account has been released confirming that they have successfully found a way to crack the API that Pokemon Go uses. The app should be up and running any time now.
When Pokemon Go was first released, an overwhelming number of users immediately downloaded the app, prompting the application to malfunction and stop running. After the app was improved, hardcore fans aptly called as tinkerers began coming up with ways in order to get ahead in the game. Thus, third-party apps for Pokemon Go were born. Map trackers were created in aiding Pokemon Go users worldwide.
FastPokeMap was downloaded and used by over 10 million users, easily cementing its status as the one of the most popular third-party apps for Pokemon Go. Because of this, it was also one of the first ones to be shut down by Niantic with the reason that it broke the app's rules.
Tech Times reports that the developers behind FastPokeMap got to work as soon as their app was shut down. They manage to crack Niantic's blockade and got the app running in just three days. However, despite finding a way to fix it, Niantic managed to shut down the app once again.
FastPokeMap's developers have said that the recent changes to Pokemon Go's API was basically designed to keep the tinkerers out, reports Android Authority. In their post, they also said that the developers of Pokemon Go shouldn't be surprised if their user base is already tanking. They should also expect the inevitable backlash from the Pokemon Go community.
Pokemon Go's users have greatly diminished long after its launching, although the app is still highly profitable. Its recent app updates included second generation Pokemons, Pokemon Centers, improved sightings and improved gym training.
