Pokemon GO v0.39 Brings Capture Location Back
from Android Headlines

Pokemon GO has been a hit since launching in July. However, it has seen a pretty big drop in the number of players that are still playing the game. In fact, it isn't even number one in the Google Play Store (or the Apple App Store) anymore. But that hasn't kept Niantic from giving up on the game. The company just pushed out a new update to the game, bringing it to v0.39. The update is fairly small, actually, but does bring in a few fixes as well as tweaks for the Pokemon GO Plus wearable that is finally available for purchase. The biggest tweak for Pokemon GO Plus is the fact that players can now attempt to capture Pokemon that appear when they are using incense. This is all done from the Pokemon GO Plus wearable, without needing to open the game on your smartphone.

The changelog that Niantic published with this update include bringing back the capture location. So now you'll be able to see where a Pokemon was captured. This was available in the initial launch of the game, but in updates that came out afterwards, it was removed. Other than that, Niantic only lists minor bug fixes for the game. While bug fixes are always nice to see available for any app or game, it definitely isn't the big update that Pokemon GO players were truly hoping for.

Pokemon GO is still hugely popular, just not at the levels it was about a month ago. The game broke all sorts of records when it came to downloads, active users and revenue coming in from the game. This was all done without the game being officially available globally. While it is available in most countries, there are still a handful of countries that have yet to see Pokemon GO be officially available. Niantic is working hard to change that, however.

If you are wanting to have the latest version of Pokemon GO on your smartphone, then head to the download link below. It will take you to version 0.39. Simply download the APK linked below, to your smartphone. Make sure that "Unknown Sources" is checked (Settings > Security, for most phones), and you'll be all set to install the update. Remember that it will replace your current version of Pokemon GO.
