It was fun while it lasted.

The first week was great. Then, as the number of players continued to climb, Niantic turned off a (critically vital to gameplay) feature to accommodate more players. ...ok... Now, instead of fixing or reactivating said feature, they deleted it and pretended it was never there. All the while remaining silent. They also went to great length to shut down the third-party developers that created services to help Niantic. It really is a mess.
