Cant play the game

I genuinely enjoyed the game when I could play it, by every time I try to open it the game loads, but the map, pokémon, and nearby pokéstops never load. Ive waited for many minutes, and found the only way to fix the problem is to redownload the app. Even still, this only works once or twice, then the game doesnt load again.
