Ratings and reviews

As a long time pokemon fan, the game really is fun and a great way to encourage exercise and exploration. However, it's got a lot of limitations that I wish I could see improvement on-- specifically, scheduling. Many events last only an hour, and all events are exclusively during the day. This may not be an issue for most people, but sadly I work the graveyard shift and sleep during the day, so if I want to participate in raids, community days, or highlight hours, I have to forgo sleep.

Since the latest update suddenly no longer compatible with my device, which is no older than 7 years. I highly doubt the hardware requirements have changed that much, since it was running without any issues before. Niantic, please don't make having the newest phones (the most expensive) a requirement to play your games.

Now the recent update/upgrade is so good that you have to click on a gift multiple times before it will let you open it. guess it wants to make sure you want your friends gift? the new layout also is sus and was not broken so they decided it needed to be fixed for their own amusement. add the lag, glitching and inability to smoothly transition from WiFi to cell data, this is the game for you! Don't do anything you want to keep going from WiFi to cell data. it will crash just about every tim.
