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 PokƩmon since launching the app.

Ever since Scopely took over, the game feels like it's got worse. Shiny rates have decreased, no actual free research anymore (pushing battle passes way too much). Platinum Medals needed for level 80, but all the medals are unrealistically obtainable. Now they've changed team go rocket frequency. The game just feels overall cash grab during events and then boring when there's no events on - they need a middle of the road incentive for us to keep playing.

Since the Scopely takeover, things have gone downhill and fast. Niantic were already making questionable choices before selling to Scopely, which makes Scopely's bad choices all that much clearer. I miss when this game had charisma and charm to it, but it just feels like everything is being gutted. from seasonal stickers, to Rocket balloons - everything is getting pared back, at the expense of enjoyment for players.
