Constantly losing remote raid passes. This is a scam

The Best App Ever

so I used this app like Back in 2023-2024 but this app is amazing
Bob GoldbergBob Goldberg

Notification settings are awful

They need to fix notification settings badly. This thing will spam you with hundreds of notifications from groups you have “muted”

Map does not show Gyms or Active Raids

This is such a pointless app… No active raids, or even gyms, especially during GoFest are showing up on the Campfire map.

Hasn’t been working

Won’t connect to any raids just searches for ever, or when it does it glitches and will say raid not found and loop
