Pokémon GO Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Alex (@Vocu) reported@PokemonGoApp "From now on" This should have been done BEFORE the pandemic, and better not go away when the pandemic is over. I literally sit on top of pokestops and it says try again later or too far away, the extra range helped with these errors and lag.
-
Chris (@PupusaJr) reported@RichAugust @PokemonGoApp I didn't realize it was a widespread issue but at least for nyself, I am standing right at Pokestops sometimes and my location in-game isn't tracking well. My character will sometimes be right at the edge of the stop despite how much I walk around it.
-
Dank 'n Derpy Gamer (@DankNDerpyGamer) reported@RichAugust @PokemonGoApp Saying "I think this is a problem for <reasons? isn't a tantrum throw in of itself - nor does it become one just because a lot of people come out to echo that sentiment. 😒
-
Corbin, Looking Forward (@Corbinisms) reported@Neuroprincesa @PokemonGoApp 1) That's GameFreak's issue, not Niantic's. 2) Some folks genuinely do not care about the national dex.
-
Pidge2571 (@pidge2571) reported@hughjebrest @DankNDerpyGamer @PokemonGoApp How does this distance increase hurt you in any way? If you are that concerned about people exercising then open a gym or teach a class, otherwise stopoaning like a little girl with a skinned knee. FYI, some new players have mobility issues so the distance helped them play.
-
Ashley Parker (@AshleyP18073619) reported@XtrlDex @PokemonGoApp eh easier yes, lazy maybe? some safety issues here too
-
Pidge2571 (@pidge2571) reported@welshshez81 @PokemonGoApp Just like you are having a tantrum over a QOL improvement which means the game is more accessible to players with mobility issues?
-
Joel 🌃 (@XtrlDex) reported@RichAugust @PokemonGoApp That's the problem with Mobile games recently, Players complain about the game but have no valid criticism so the developers don't take any of it as feedback. We went 4 years without a distance increase, unless you are in lockdown there is no reason for a pokestop increase.
-
CarolNancyPuff (@CarolNancypuff) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@PokemonGoApp This shouldn’t have even had to be such a problem. Unbelievable that it took revenue loss for you to make the decision. @niantic are idiots.
-
JULTAR100 (@jultar1000) reported@PokemonGoApp wait.......is that it? just giving it to us with no string's attatched? neat, went in expecting at worse some kinda badge requirement but ok, no issues from me about this
-
Jerome Cardona (@JeromeCardona4) reported@vincenttruman @XtrlDex @PokemonGoApp Right?! Piggy backing on disabled folks problems. The equivalent of using your disabled friend’s placard so you can park closer. Lazy asses.
-
Nat ℹ️❤️⚡🏠 (@NatDoesNotExist) reported@PokemonGoApp Don't know why people are already thanking Niantic after they actively ignored the community for so long on this one, tiny issue. We deserve better. #HearUsNiantic
-
Joel 🌃 (@XtrlDex) reported@idislikestephen @PokemonGoApp There is a better way to fix how the GPS works. The problem with the GPS is what Niantic uses to track it. The issue has gotten worse and they haven't made a QOL update to fix it, Why not riot for them to fix the GPS instead of changing everything else to fix it.
-
Djel27 (@gyualmighty) reported@WonderWooDz @PokemonGoApp Not my problem if you took it as insult.
-
Parker ➡️BLFC (@DobermanJocks) reported@SerebiiNet @PokemonGoApp is working again? For a rural player it has been 3 weeks of not being able to do anything. There are gyms on steep mountain-sides that couldn't be reached for a while, or I had to walk off trail to spin a Pokestop. It was insanity
-
Stephen Thompson (@idislikestephen) reported@XtrlDex @PokemonGoApp This isn't one of those "I'm mad that Community Day is Fletchling instead of Axew" issues where people were whining for no good reason. They fixed a bug in 2020, then stubbornly unfixed it to the benefit of no one except spoofers. Now it's fixed again! Celebrate!
-
Tony Ornelas (@TonyMOrnelas) reported@islamyasserelge @PokemonGoApp I disagree- no one realized how many issues were resolved the first time Niantic extended the distance. I know they were very up-front about it being temporary, but being able to play safely from the sidewalk and accessibility ramps and paths was a feature that just can't go away
-
Stephen Thompson (@idislikestephen) reported@XtrlDex @PokemonGoApp Yeah, we may have to agree to disagree here. To me, this is a bug fix and a QOL increase rolled into one -- I'm not a game designer/coder and don't entirely understand how GPS works, but I do know the game is radically improved by the change to 80m!
-
welshshez81 (@welshshez81) reported@PokemonGoApp yet for those living in rural areas the 80m means absolutely nothing still . I've never seen so many people cry over walking a few steps before. well done now they will have a tantrum over every single issue
-
June 🩸 (@JuneSnowpaw) reported@XtrlDex @PokemonGoApp People exclusively play in their car to prevent getting exercise. If you're looking to get a bit of exercise in, you're working for it, not looking for ways around it. Doubling the interaction distance won't reduce my walking.
-
PkmMasterStefan (995millXP) - #F2P as of 7/23/2021 (@PkmMasterStefan) reported@EL_Darth_Nano @PokemonGoApp I hope it stays that way for a long time before they recover back to previous months’ earnings. Niantic need to see they can’t **** on the community as long as they did and fix it overnight with little long-term repercussion. They should be more careful in future to listen sooner
-
Stephen Thompson (@idislikestephen) reported@XtrlDex @PokemonGoApp It didn't do just fine! There was an annoying, persistent issue where you'd be standing on/at/near a stop or gym and lag would force you out of range. That problem persisted for three and a half years until one simple fix resolved it: increasing the radius.
-
真。虎龙王 (@mugen_king123) reported@PokemonGoApp @NianticHelp All is not forgiven and forgetten. For one, honor your statement from years ago to fix pvp. It is still laggy as a turtle and screen freezes
-
Arkanamaven (@arkanamaven) reported@PokemonGoApp Well they have listened before except for lag they’ll never fix lag
-
Zero (@ZerotheWanderer) reported@islamyasserelge @PokemonGoApp No, we just wanted 80 back, although it was disclosed it'd be temporary, it solved so many problems, like poorly placed stops, and helped those without full mobility, just to name a few.
-
Pidge2571 (@pidge2571) reported@XtrlDex @iwunarts @PokemonGoApp To be honest, the 80 instead of the 40 makes sense because it makes it better for people with mobility problems to reach more stops and gyms, which means more players and more money for niantic.
-
TheNewt (@Dr_HR) reported@PokemonGoApp Holy ****, this is huge. I seriously! had my doubts over all this. I might be drinking the I was wrong juice soon. Dammn okay Let's go. Positive news. Just now need to wait for the rest of the report to see about other issues n concerns we've raised. Mmmmm Baby steps
-
Joel 🌃 (@XtrlDex) reported@idislikestephen @PokemonGoApp GPS Lag and drift can be fixed without a distance increase. Some QOL changes to how they get the data for the GPS could fix the issues with lag and drift. Pokemon GO didnt have a distance increase from 2016 - 2019 and it did just fine.
-
PokemonARtographer (@pkmnartographer) reported@AndyGurtch @PokemonGoApp So while their reasons may or may not be mostly or even partly altruistic, I'd hope we can all at least agree that they're working towards making the game and entire experience better for all of us. And for that, I think we could all at least be kind about it, if not grateful.

Sombreros De Pancho (@SombrerosPancho) reported@PkmMasterStefan @PokemonGoApp And that is something we call: your problem. You are in charge of your spending. Not a company
