Sounds productive indeed, my last trip out with the game was less successful, had a game crash during the 4th gym fight I was doing, so I just had the "error" bug when trying to go back into that Gym, so then tried to cash out and the game just locked up my phone completely, couldn't even power it off with holding the power button, after about 10 mins the phone restarted itself and when I got back into Pokemon Go finally I had lost another Gym and was still getting "error" where at the 4th place I was at... cashed in for 20 coins... it's getting harder and harder to find a reason to go and play the game, not it is a case of I'll go for walks I think... and just have the app running for eggs but breaking my heart/phone for 10c at gyms with non functional GPS/Gym Errors is just annoying me, zero fun. Games shouldn't annoy you as much as PoGo does for me when it starts to act up.

wow, you are really getting frustrated. The app really sucks. Sucks that you have to have it active all the time, it drains the battery mainly due to the screen. If I use the power saver mode the game locks up and touchscreen stops working... There are little bugs like this that deter you from playing.

The touchscreen stops working, constant server loading ingame, not connecting to the server on startup, "try again later" on pokestops when it messed up sending/receiving data, "error" on gyms when it messed up sending/receiving data, etc.

Yeah, like I said on paper it would be a good game, but the way it functions or doesn't just turns it into a walking IT support job for me, If I go walking with mates I will have to show them how to disable/reeneable their data/location, hard reset the app, clear their cache data, reinstall the game all during a single walk, it's more work than it is fun and like I said when it comes to losing out the ability to correctly fight in Gyms that is actually costing in game currency from Niantic so it totally lowers my desire to spend another cent in the in game store.

I put €5 into it after launch to get extra bagspace and once I hit 20 I figured that I was going to start matching Gym coins earned with a few 10c of my own each day but for the past week the app has been far far worse with memory issues, crashing, gps errors and I am more considering uninstalling it than using the ingame store again, definitely not spending any more real cash on it until there is some major fixes.

edit - Ironically got a "connection to server is reset" error while trying to post this the first time... server issues really put me off using sites and software... just sayin!
