Revainrating 4 out of 5

I really can't find any cons other than the price.

I was convinced of that when I read about contactless reconnection. I usually play with two iPhones and there's nothing I hate more than having to click and then click on my gotcha and everyone else to get them working again, especially when you have more than a few to juggle. Basically, I play the role of the keeper of the Gotchas, and they all depend on me to fulfill connection duties, namely community days. Personally, I don't like wearing mine and I've had a real device fall out of the strap more than once. Especially in winter, what agony! This double catchmon is great. Just put it in your backpack and go. No need to press buttons, take off gloves and freeze your fingers, everything just works. Absolutely no problem connecting to both phones at the same time. I've read some comments about it being slower, but in my tests with the screen off I don't see a significant difference in catching performance compared to Gotcha when set to catch on its own. I haven't tried grabbing and spinning at the same time to compare the results with Gotcha, but I can't imagine anything going against the slowdown. Gotcha's best feature now is the rechargeable battery. However, over time the charger becomes a little wobbly and needs to be squeezed and held to flex it more to keep the device secure. It uses 2 AAA batteries. You can solve the overcharging problem instantly by simply using rechargeable AAA batteries. I only keep a spare set of these in my bag in case I need them, but even with cheap Aldi batteries they last quite a while without flipping the switch on the back of the Catchmon. I only changed the batteries once because I stupidly put in the ones that need charging and didn't charge. I've had Catchmon on constantly for a week and a half, active most of the day if not all day (because it's just a push and go, totally effortless), and it's still working. You can turn off the sound effects for this thing, so it's a relief. It has flashing lights just showing it's plugged in about every 5 seconds. You can also turn off the vibration so it's invisible when it's hidden. It's a fairly good size, so depending on your pockets it can fit snugly into something like skinny jeans. I find them too heavy to wear all day, but for others that may not be a problem. My only real complaint is the price. You can buy a brand new version of Gotcha Coaches Club that also supports two accounts for around $55. When I bought it, it was $80. Is the speakerphone reconnect worth the extra $25 surcharge? My impulsive answer is no, but I digress because it's a really neat feature. I will say I am interested in buying 3 extra to cover the whole family but not at this price. I would most likely pay $60 and I'm actually watching if it hits that price. I had to take a star off just because of the price, but it would be an easy 5 star product if priced more closely to the trainer. Club edition gotcha. Overall I like this product very much.
