Pokemon GO is the buggiest mobile game in 2024, according to a new study. The mobile games industry has grown exponentially, with games like Pokemon GO becoming some of the biggest names. Making players' dreams of becoming Pokemon trainers a reality, Pokemon GO maintains an active community with frequent content releases.
The current Pokemon GO season is the World of Wonders, which has brought new events such as new Community Days, and Diancie's global debut in Pokemon GO after last year's GO Fest. But like other seasons, Pokemon GO hasn't escaped problems that have hampered the players' experience. Examples abound, such as a controversial update that bugged Buddy Pokemon, or the mysterious glitch that gave Pokemon GO an unreleased item to players. Niantic is constantly working to keep the Pokemon GO experience fresh, but a recent study claims that the augmented reality game is less stable than one might think.
ElectronicsHub has released a study revealing the most bugged mobile games of 2024, and Pokemon GO appears at the top of the list. Analyzing 1.8 million user reviews of the 400 most used apps in the Google Play Store, Pokemon GO registered 153.5 mentions of bugs, crashes, and problems for every 1,000 reviews. Call of Duty: Mobile comes second, while Words With Friends 2 is in third place. The list continues with Clash of Clans (4th), Roblox (5th), Brawl Stars (6th), Toca Life World (7th), the HoYoverse hit Honkai: Star Rail (8th), PUBG MOBILE (9th), and Free Fire Battlegrounds (10th).

While the most bugged games of 2024 have between 80 and over 150 bug mentions in Google Play Store reviews, the list of the least bugged games published by ElectronicHub follows the opposite path. In first place is the classic game Solitaire, with only 12.9 bug mentions, with Royal Match and Domino Dreams rounding off the top 3. The rest of the list includes Jiggsawescapes (4th), Gin Runny (5th), Block Puzzle: Block Smash Game (6th), Spades (7th), World Trip (8th), Yatzy (9th), and Block Blast (10th).
Bugs in online games are a common occurrence, although Pokemon GO ends up standing out negatively in this respect.
