Ratings and reviews

Messages randomly decide that they can't be sent and you aren't given the option to copy and resend them. The raiding queue never works. When you check into meetups you are now forced to pick one reward path instead of being able to select from multiple. Barely anyone who plays Niantic games uses the app, as it is never advertised. Alot of these features should have been built into games like Pokemon GO in the first place, instead of horribly constructed in a separate app. Disappointing.

I really like the app for a variety of reasons, especially connecting users. However, it could be more user friendly by fixing things like member search and adding things like the ability to sort group members. It would also be nice if you could link Campfire messaging to POGO, so you can click a friend and message them without having to search for them on Campfire, which also doesn't seem to work.

Overall its okay at launch.It's a solid concept. Wish the map would show what team had control of the gyms. Wish the interface was easier to navigate. Finally, there should be a way to overlay on top of pokemon go. I Want to be able to see text and convers as I'm making my way to a raid. If the developers continue to work on this app, it could be a great addition to their games.
