Ispokemongodownornot.com will not only tell you if Niantic’s servers are operational, but logs the game’s functionality over the past 48 hours, that way you can tell if lures can be placed successfully. The site works by attempting an automated login every 30 seconds.

Niantic’s juggernaut app has continued to suffer from technical issues and has even dealt with an attack from a hacker group. Here’s hoping that the experience continues to smooth out as Niantic finds its footing.
