These two go together very poorly. The find radius was too large before, but seeking anything specific was practically impossible even before due to the footprint bug. Now it's even more impossible, if that's even possible. I've literally spent something like 30 minutes looking for a specific Pokémon, searching for it everywhere where I could go in the vicinity, and not finding it anywhere despite it being 'near'. It's good that the footprint feature was removed instead of letting it mislead players, but it should come back. After it comes back, the new radius is fine.

Also, I'm not a fan of some of the font changes. I think they bolded some of the texts in the game, and it looks kind of heavy now.

You know the worst thing about you looking around for 30 mins for one pokemon? The max time any pokemon can be live on the map is for 15minutes, so if you seen a guy there for longer it was either a second spawn in another location so you might have not walked back to where it had been previously... or worse again your tracking portion of the game hadn't properly updated and was holding onto data of a mon who was long gone, seen that happen a load while Pokevision was working perfectly to definitely show that a mon was gone which the game was stating should still be in a area.

Yeah, that too... It's really annoying how unreliable the updates are. Come to think of it, a lot of things seem to point at this being a rushed launch, because so many things were (or still are) broken.
