Buggy spyware. Every single time you open the app it demands you turn on "adventure sync", which means sharing your location with the app at all times. Not one but two pop-ups every time you play the game "reminding" you to turn it on. Doesn't matter that I've already said no LITERALLY a thousand times, they INSIST that they have access to my location 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 365 days a year. It also crashes every time you try to catch your first Pokémon since launching the app.

I started playing again in 2026 and the game has improved a lot since I last played in 2024. It's far less grindy. The Dynamax stuff is cool, the explorer gadget helps a lot, overall rewards are much more balanced and worthwhile. I really wish there was more permanent "gym" or "guild" features with more long-term goals for players to work together on. Docked 1 star because it has been freezing quite a bit on my S24.

Pros: 1) Great motivation to go out more, 2) Great for community if you can find one, 3) Some great recent additions like Explorer Gadget or rural Pokéstops, 4) Compatible with Pokémon Home! // Cons: tons of really terrible decisions which slowly destroy trust in the company, like gambling rates being totally hidden, removing features that players love, unhelpful support, secretly putting players in test groups that can lock them into a worse version of the game (+ more which doesn't fit here!)
