Just in case your unaware, Pokemon GO came under a hacker attack which temporarily caused a crash, because people were having to much fun. Sever came back up with all sorts of issues and I not sure if all of them are related to attack but nothing has been done about them, and 2 completely ruin the game.

1) Im sure everybody has noticed the Pokemon foot print tracker has been stuck on 3 for all Pokemon regardless of how close they actually are to you. On top of that the order of the "nearby list" is a suppose to show you Pokemon most near to you which helps when you are in situations where multiple Pokemon may have have the same foot print dustance ... like now, but thats busted too. Pokemon show up..or dont, regardless of their placement on the list. Makes the best part about the game currently impossible to do. This has been happening since before the crash.

2) Trying to catch any Pokemon with a CP power above 130ish freezes the game everytime. That really sucks. If you get lucky and find that Charmander you're lookin for, now you gotta hope it has a low CP

Those are the main 2 issues other issues include:

Game has a hard time tracking your location

Stalls in Level ups and distance tracker for eggs. Went from level 8 to 9 and it took the game 30mins to register that. I had met the distance needed to hatch an egg and it didnt happen for like 20mins.

 

Pokemon GO is too huge to crash and burn in a few days, but these are pretty big road blocks to enjoying the game. Only statements weve heard from Niantic is wanting the game to be out in 200 countries by the end of the month. Came out in Canada and servers crashed immediately.

1. Has been like that for me since the beginning. Needs to be fixed but this is hardly game-breaking. That said, it does make hunting for specific Pokémon almost impossible.

2. I'm pretty sure I just caught several Pokémon with more than 130 CP last night without any trouble. That said, I've haid more than enough freezing issues in other cases...

There's a problem with level up notifications though. It notifies of the level up only after you receive experience after already getting the level. And yeah, something similar happens with eggs too. Pretty annoying but not game-breaking.

My biggest issue, aside from the freezes, is how hard it seems to be to hatch the eggs while cycling. I don't like walking because it's slow and boring, but I love cycling. It's somewhat annoying how it doesn't hatch the eggs properly.

If I had to guess, I'd say Niantic is very busy trying to handle the player numbers before being able to properly fix anything else. I don't think anyone expected the game to be this popular.

I listed nothing  as "game breaking". Dont know why you keep using it. Game is entirely playable.
