Please fix the event locator

The event locator was perfectly fine before this app. The website was also redesigned horribly and nobody can find locals anymore. Also having trouble connecting my Pokemon Champions support ID, days before the first global challenge starts. Please fix.

The apps not letting me log in

I know I’m putting in my information correctly but every time I try to log in it kicks me back to the log in screen and it never lets me in.
