I am sure we will see several similar iterations popping up in the coming weeks with additional tweaks and features. Everyone wants to have the best app up first.

I know Viewer and Huntr are both currently down, and Pokevision has very little downtime so it clearly wins in that category. I haven't actually had the chance to use Huntr yet but have heard great things.

I prefer to use Pokeviewer because there seems to be no need to scan every 30 seconds to get the specific location hits. With Vision you can click around and see SOME of the Pokemon in that area (the theory is that you are seeing what others in that area have already manually scanned, correct??) but you need to scan that small area to see them "all." I find that even scanning an area will miss some Pokemon when compared to Viewer. I am discounting any Pokemon due to lures. The only downsides I see to Viewer is that they do not have street labels so in a big city it can be a pain to find exactly where you want to be, and that it is frequently down (like now).

The big question to me, is why do Viewer (and from what I am told, Huntr) show all the area Pokemon constantly and instantly without having to manually view very small areas? This would obviously be preferred, but I also assume it has something to do with why they are both down so frequently.

What do we think?
