Ratings and reviews

Latest version has made this app become frustrating to find a certain kind of raid. Used to be that you could filter and get a list of the selected raids. Now it's only map based and very frustrating since they only show up if you are zoomed in close... and even then not all the raids show up at the same time. Bring back the list of filtered raids!

The most recent update's color design and sizing are terrible. Most of the map colors are close to icons and overlay colors, making them difficult to find. Gyms without raids or eggs are covered by various route icons that cannot be filtered out. While on the map and displaying everything, you can't filter out what you want to see. The raid view only shows active gyms and there is not options to show inactive gyms.

Not user-friendly. One, there's no way to look for raids within a certain radius of you. For example, distance options of 5 miles, 10 miles, and "further" would be invaluable. You have to zoom in on a 1-2 mile radius to see available raids. if you dont know a specific location, it's a lot of unnecessary searching when you're on a countdown. Two, a raid filter option to look for specific raid bosses would save a lot of time and headache from randomly searching for a raid boss.
