Ratings and reviews

Still see no good reason to have this app. The map is filled with all kinds of noises, and 7 out of 10 taps cause unintended actions. This lasagna of active elements over the map sometimes triggers lightseed pinch action, zooming out so far into the space where I can see more continents than the planet ever had. It notifies me every time trolls lit flare for no apparent reasons, but never send me notifications when my friend messages me.

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.

Notification settings don't do what they are supposed to. You get notifications for things you disable and the app fails to send notifications for the things you actually want. It is also fairly buggy in other ways and is one of the worst methods of communication possible.
