Ratings and reviews

Overall, pretty fun. But whenever I open the app nowadays, I just get a black screen (fixed). I also backed the kickstarter for it wayyyyy back when (even got the shirt) and it doesn't seem like any of thr benefits from previous iterations of the game carry forward. Edit: new problem; the app doesn't seem to track my walks/raids after I put my phone in my pocket for a few minutes.

Promising concept, somewhat compromised by "pay-to-play" options. The option to watch ads and double your score is one unfortunate compromise. Buying jewels to multiply earnings is a second. The lack of a desktop view unnecessarily complicates route planning. Finally the lack of details on the wiki makes it harder to understand and play.

I could give this game 5 stars if the bugs were worked out. Solid concept and compelling dynamic really motivated me to run further and more often. I could also give this game 1 star. The game is very buggy. Runs often fail to register, which is super frustrating after a long tiring run. It only works when connected to the internet, and it uses tremendous amounts of mobile data. I hit my monthly data limit in 2 weeks, and this game used more data in those 2 weeks than all my other apps combined.
