All you need to do is visit PokeStop, as it offers free items for each visit and if you are fortune enough you might get poke balls here. Additionally, whenever you reach a new level in the game, you get free Poke Balls.

I knew that you are a good player and can never miss your target! But if at all you have lost the targeted Pokémon, recover the Poke ball. You can get back a ball just by tapping on the rolling ball so, that you do not run out of balls though you miss the Pokémon.
While you swipe a ball from the bottom of the screen to catch a Pokémon, just rotate the poke ball for extra XP and bonus spin.

Use “nearby” feature in the game, which helps you to find out the nearest Pokémon. The Pokémon shown with three footprints is at a distance and the one shown with one step footprint is nearest one. You need to walk till you see it at one footprint distance.
Turn off the ‘AR.’
When you try to capture the Pokémon make sure you turn off the ‘AR’ mode which helps you to save your battery life and also makes it easy for you to capture the Pokémon. When you turn off the AR mode, the Pokémon appears exactly at the center in front of you.
Colours of the rings around your Pokémon
You find rings around your Pokémon when you try to capture them. The color of the ring indicates the difficulty in capturing the hovering Pokémon. Try to catch the Pokémon based upon the colour of the ring. Green states that it is easy to catch, Yellow a bit tricky, Orange is harder than Yellow, and Red is damn difficult.

According to reports, a few malicious Pokémon Go apps invaded the Google Play Store, which can infect your smartphone when downloaded. The wildly popular Nintendo’s augmented reality game; Pokémon Go is now available for download in most of the countries of the world.
But we already have reports about the Pokémon Go fake apps. So, be cautious of the fake apps that can freeze your smartphone or redirect you to porn sites.
Lukáš Štefanko, a malware researcher at a Software Security Company, called ESET said that a fake gaming app named “Pokémon Go Ultimate,” is the first lock screen app to enter the Google Play store.
According to the blog post of the company the app was used between 500-1000 times before it was taken out of the store. A report published in Fortune explains that when the fake app is downloaded and run on the smartphone, it is installed as “PI Network,” instead of Pokémon Go.
The reports also state that the one who run the fake apps would sight their phone frozen, and it might eventually force to restart the device by removing the battery. After rebooting the smartphone, the PI Network app disappears but in fact the app runs in the background and can pop up fake ad clicks. If you or any known person is already struggling with such issue, you can uninstall the app from the device application manager.
ESET has also found many malicious apps on the store that are closely related with the augmented game Pokémon Go. Such fake apps include “Install Pokémon go” and “Guide & Cheats for Pokémon Go.” These apps attract gamers with free in-app items such as Poke coins, Poke balls or Lucky Eggs. The reality is that it is a trick to mislead the “user into subscribing to expensive bogus services.”
“Every time the user presses the ‘Back’ button, new scare ware pop-ups and advertisements appear,” added Štefanko in the post. “The only way to get rid of them is double-clicking on the ‘Back’ button.”
So, the suggestion is users have to check the details of the publishers, developers, reviews and the number of downloads of the application before downloading it from the store.
