pokemon go psa:

if you use your incense and it doesnt work, firstly; im sorry, that really sucks. i know that pain.

secondly, check to see if your phone’s clock is correct. make sure to sync it with the network, or an option like that, because apparently there is a bug that has persisted from the beta where if the time is wrong, incense doesn’t work

i just used this fix, and nervously used my last incense- and it worked!

big thank you to  trainerscruffmcgruff of reddit, the beta tester who found the bug in the first place
