Official Pokemon Go app WILL keep your progress- get catching!

Pokemon Go is now out in the UK, which joins German, the US, Australia and New Zealand on the list of places with the official app.

In Ireland, and many other countries around the world, we're still waiting for iTunes and the Google Play Store to release a proper version but that hasn't stopped plenty of people from getting involved. This involves downloading a copy from another region on Android or tricking your phone into using a different app store on Apple devices.

Now one of the big fears for those who are playing unofficial versions is what will happen when they upgrade? Will all of their progress, and precious Pokemon, be lost? Well it seems we can put those fears to rest, as reports are coming in that the two apps will be compatible.
