'Pokémon Go' tips & tricks update: Tracker apps available to help players find Pokémon

Numerous players of "Pokémon Go" have expressed their frustrations after Niantic removed the nearby tracking system from the game. Without the help of the tracker, players are having a hard time looking for available Pokémon in their area. There is good news for them, however, because there are a handful of available apps that will help players track Pokémon while Niantic works on the tracker update.

Game N Guide came up with a list of five alternative apps that help players look for Pokémon in the surrounding area.

First on their list is the Go Radar app that allows players to look for more than 100,000 Pokémon around the globe. The app uses a selective process in finding Pokémon and helps players find the nearby Pokémon in their area.

Another app on the list is Pokémesh which not only shows the location of nearby Pokémon, but also the time when they will be available on the map before disappearing. The app is said to be popular because it can find 30,000 Pokémon in a minute.

PokéGear Go allows players to find specific Pokémon they're looking for by tapping images of the Pokémon within the app. The app also gives directions on how to get to the Pokémon and also displays the time limit when Pokémon will despawn.

Pokémap is a tracking app that makes use of crowd-sourced data, and it show's real-time location of Pokémon's whereabouts. The app also displays the duration of a Pokémon's appearance before disappearing.

Lastly, PokéLive is available, but the app requires players to create a fake account. The app finds Pokémon, like the other apps, but it also comes with a filter option for players who are looking for specific Pokémon. Like the rest, it also displays how long Pokémon will be present in a certain location.

"Pokémon Go" is available for Android and iOS devices.
