Ratings and reviews

It's what it suggests. Pokémon, on the go. Which is a nice concept, but there are a few problems. Loging in a bunch of times without internet causes the game to create a "log out" button and freeze on the loading screen. If you either don't play until you have network connection again or log out (if you don't remember your password and username, you've basically lost everything) and back in, this needs to be fixed.

I've played since the day of launch, with a short break when I lived somewhere remote before a lot of stops were made. It taught me to navigate, and it's been a great source of exercise. It makes walking to run errands or taking the bus less of a chore. I hardly clear my daily streaks now. I'm disabled. My knees are falling apart, and sun exposure makes me miserable. That isn't on Niantic, but.. I miss the COVID accommodations. They made the game more accessible. Now, I kinda feel left out.

The game doesn't keep track of where you are as good as it used to, always stopping randomly for several seconds where you can't do anything. The game paused my route progress twice within one minute of starting a route and wouldn't track my progress upon resuming the second time. Would rather have had things like these fixed than adding yet another feature like parties so soon.
