Ratings and reviews

The game is a lot of fun when the app works. It's pretty glitchy. I sometimes have to open and close it repeatedly to get it to load my location. The layout of the app needs attention. I can never find my rewards because they're scattered across four or five menus plus a couple of other places I wouldn't think to click. Having everything in one place would actually make sense.

Love/hate with this app. I have requests. If our storage is full, we should still be able to spin stops with earning only xp. I would love to pay some coin to block certain Pokémon... unless it's needed for a task, I don't want to see it (ahem Jinx, Lickitung). Oh? Yeah, sometimes I need the Pokémon I caught and don't want the surprise catch, as I have enough Zorua. Love the new maps showing the pokestops and other items when you zoom way out, I've been wanting that feature for a long time.

I wish pokemon would spawn and I could interact with pokestops while riding public transit. I get the point is to encourage exercise, but it's silly that the game is unplayable when you're going too fast. Also, every once in a while, they randomly make a decision to avoid being inclusive, and/ or release a bad event.
