    by far the buggiest app I've ever downloaded, amazing it got through beta like this

    I haven't ever paid for items, but the fact that they let item timers continue to run while the servers are down is straight up theft (I'm sure there's something in the EULA that covers their asses, but still)

    Server problem. Not app problem. Off times it works perfect.

    It uses up some data, but not exorbitant amounts. With google maps downloaded locally (not sure if that makes a difference), the app used 90MB in about 7 hours of game play for me.

    I've heard of accidents in freeways and roads because stupid people would stop to catch a pokemon. The latest I heard was an accident in some highway cus some dude saw pikachu and wanted to catch it. Caused a huge chain reaction of accidents backing up to several cars.

    No it actually happened here where I'm at. We just had a very long weekend from last week, so maybe the road conditions had something to do with it. I don't even know how they play, apparently the game is blocked. Maybe VPN, but wouldn't that slow down your phone?

    I did the same. I wanted to understand the tech and understand what's happening. They took an amazing idea and tech and applied it to.... POKEMON? And now it has more users than Twitter?

    Crazy.
