Ridiculous

Niantic sells a badge for 30,800 cmu! Who in hell would spend money for practically nothing. Niantic is clueless on what players want. What a pity!

Really terrible update cycle

pretty much guaranteed when you drive or walk a long way to get a portal and the service is terrible, the app will force you to re login and do an app update so your time and effort to get to a portal is a complete waste of time. stupidest app ever.Update: still among the dumbest games ever as you must login again and again if your service is bad. very frustrating to play if not on wifi.

Speed bug annoying

Seems to have improved but there’s a glaring bug where the controls lock when you’re in a vehicle going at high speed. If they fix it, this review goes to five stars.

Machina

I would like to see machina be able to attack, field, and spread like a real virus. That would force people to not ignore it.
