The game is fun!

I do enjoy playing ingress. Though having more I’m storage would be nice. Also having more factions to as options to play would be nice. A purple faction would be awesome.

I refuse to give this game another serious shot until they implement the user-friendly inventory management they know they need to enough to specifically tease exactly how they would in surveys for over two years now.
