Why is this game already dead?

Why, after every single update, is it required that re-logging in is required? Please fix this to remember log in information.

Latest update is a nightmare. The app keeps crashing as soon as graphic workload is high. Also PGo Plus not working reliably... [update with .2: still not any better on an iPhone 6 - it looks like constant memory issues]

Pokemon go is a very fun game, but i only have one suggestion. Today me and eight other people defeated the gym. However only 2 of us, including me caught the very rare Pokemon after. I thought this was unfair because even though we all contributed only 2 people got a reward for doing so. In the next update I hope that you either add more rewards than just 2 candies or make it easier to catch the Pokemon

Okay I like Pokémon go sooooo much it is the best game but I really think that the raid wars are unfair I was playing with 8 people and only two people got the Pokémon. even though we all helped a lot. and I feel bad for one kid because right as the Pokémon died all his Pokémon died and then it crashed and he didnt get the chance to catch the Pokémon. I also think we should have more pokè balls when we try to catch the Pokémon from the raid because we waisted all our raspberrys. But overall I think Pokémon is a great game! But on the next update please make it a little more fair.

I cant even rate it its so bad

My app has just recently started crashing every time I open it. Extremely upset since I just put money into this game. I want a refund immediately.

Every time your team wins a battle theres a glitch that only allows you to add 2 Pokémon. And when others try to add it says that the gym in under attack when really its not. It takes 10-15 minutes just so other people on your team can add a Pokémon. It is really annoying. Also, the app keeps crashing. Thanks. Please fix asap.

First off love the revamped gym system and the raid system, my only issue is this, while i understand there are bound to be issues however raid waiting lobbly should be reduced down to a minute rather than three since it defeats the point and removes any chance you may have of beating the raid by yourself, i know because this has become an issue where Im at a sliver of health for the raid boss and the only thing that made me lose was a timeout. Issue should be resolve so that upon entry it is 5 minutes, i say this is a issue because most people dont bother memorizing the private group code.

Wait people still play this game

I was using it in real time not bad but I think it stills needs work needs to go to the classic battling just like in alpha sapphire this new battle system is trash huge hype gone to dust unless they implement regular battles into go

Fourth update 7/3/17: Youll get your fifth star when I can spin pokestops as a passenger in a vehicle again. Also, night raiding. Most people cant play during the day. Everything else is great, or getting there. Raiding is more fun than I suspected it would be and has pulled some inactive players out of the woodwork. I love the raid rewards. I enjoy the gen two pokemon. Spawns have been adjusted so Im not getting 800 pidgeys a day. I like the motivation for gyms, it keeps thing fresh and competitive. Everything seems more balanced. All in all Im happy with the year Ive been playing. Thanks, Niantic.

I love the new raid battle system. Its a great improvement to the game, and the alterations to the gyms are nice too. The main problem I have with it though, is that its hard to find other players that can help take down tougher bosses. I probably need at least 9 people to help me take down a 4 tier boss, and I simply cant find enough. If there were a way to broadcast to other players in the visible map radius which gyms youre planning on attacking and how many people are already there, that would be helpful. Its frustrating not being able to attack whichever gym I want and have a chance of winning.

Edit: certain issues were fixed but overall the app did not provide enough of a reward to keep playing. I have a love hate relationship with this app. On the one hand its a dream come true on the other its a poor execution of that dream. 1. Tracking Pokemon is still nearly impossible: Without a way to at least roughly judge at least what direction a Pokemon is its incredibly difficult to track something you want down. 2. Pokemon disappear quickly: tying into the difficulty of finding Pokemon if you are not fast enough the Pokemon youre looking for will disappear before you find it. Ive lost both a Ryhorn and a Venasaur to this phenomenon after having a search window of only 5-10 minutes 3. Its much more difficult to catch Pokemon now: in the early days you could snag a Pokemon in less than 4 throws, now Im wasting 5 or more balls to catch pidgeys and ratatas who quite easily break out. Not only that but about half the time they will flee after a ball or two. I understand how a fleeing mechanic might be interesting but I can see the crushing feeling after someone against all odds finds a rare Pokemon only to see it run away. 4. Fighting gyms is boring and easy: Combat includes a swipe to the side to dodge mechanic. However not only does dodging not work in many circumstances but it also interferes with attacking. The only viable way to take a gym is to spam attacks by furiously tapping the screen. 5. Lack of variety at gyms: while you do see the occasional strange Pokemon at a gym typically the majority of the gyms you see will be stocked with the same handful of Pokemon: Dragonites, Gyradoses, eevelutions etc

It wont let me play its my first time playing and I really want to play please fix

Despite the odd need to want to be kicked out of the gyms to get coins, the new system has successfully dis-incentivized gym stagnation/ bullying. While some people dont like the new system, it is such a relief to be able to play the game again in my area without fears of physical confrontations by opposing team players. Please keep things so that there is no incentive to hold the most gyms for the longest period of time. Its really working in my area. --- My previous review: The gym system rewards people who bully others until they quit the game. It is not safe for my kids to play because of this and I will no longer take them to battle gyms. This is on top of the secret deal between 2 of the teams here to not attack each other and drive the 3rd team out of the game. A 3rd of the player base in the area has probably quit in part because of this.

Newest update has ruined a fun game. Constant crashing is so frustrating this level 31 hunter is hunting no more. My phone now gets so hot within minutes of trying to load up the game. Crashes anytime I get near a gym. Can barely spin a stop. Im thru! Peter Principle in perfect action with these folks!!!

Keeps telling me that I have an error when I try to feed Pokémon and then it tells me I cant place a Pokémon cause the gym was under attached and it clearly wasnt.

Fix all the bugs. What is the use taking a gym over if u cant add. Still same problem gym is under stack cant add for 30 mins by that time someone else took gym back...
