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.

I have been playing this game since it originally launched and I really enjoy some of the changes that have been made over the years. One biggest complaint now is that the play with your pokemon feature has always been difficult to work with, and that's hasn't improved. It tells you to look for an open flat surface but then never gives me to foot steps to place a pokemon making leveling friendship and gathering gifts very difficult.

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.
