The hottest new app in the iPhone App Store is... another Pokémon app.
Poké Radar is a crowdsourced map of locations where "Pokémon Go" players found certain Pokémon. It's already number two in the App Store, just behind the official "Pokémon Go" app.
Here's how it works:

When you launch the app, you see a map of all the Pokémon players have found in your area.
Tapping a Pokémon tells you the username of the trainer who found it and when it was found.
If you go to the location and don't find the Pokémon you're looking for, you can "Vote Down." That'll tell the app that other users are less likely to find the Pokémon in question there.
This is the biggest problem with Poké Radar. Since it's an unofficial, crowdsourced app and Pokémon appear at random, there's no guarantee it'll work.
Tap the submit button to let everyone know where you found a Pokémon. Enter the trainer name you use in "Pokémon Go" first.
