Pokemon GO fever is still high, and people are scrambling to find new places to explore.
The “Pokestop Nearby” filter is available in the Yelp app on Android and iOS, and is now rolled out in the US, Australia, and New Zealand. Now, Yelp has rolled out a new filter letting users search directly for local Pokestops. These highly coveted PokeStops are exactly where you want to be when killing some time as they refresh every 5 minutes or so, allowing you to grab even more items and stock up.
When Pokemon Go disrupted everyone’s lives last week, it injected hometowns across the world with a little bit of mystery alongside loads of digital pocket monsters.
Engadget states that the PokeStop filter isn’t necessarily embedded into Yelp’s services through a Pokemon Go API. Players just simply need to answer this pop question: “Is there a Pokestop nearby?”, and that’s that.
The new filter works the same way as any other.

Although this “Pokemon Go” Pokestop finder wouldn’t probably be 100% accurate, it could still turn into an enjoyable experience for most people. While that doesn’t guarantee it will be accessible from where you’ll be sitting, you at least know you can hit up the stop when arriving and leaving your destination.
