Loving the game besides the problem after defeating gyms. When you win, the loading screen afterwards is way too long and other people take the gym from you, even when it says it doesn't happen. I've lost multiple gyms because of this and didn't have the power to defeat it all over again. If you get out of the loading screen quicker, same thing happens. Very disappointing, please change it.

It's not a bad gameplay loop; pay-to-win is unnecessary. I've enjoyed playing this game over the last 6 months, but to be honest I don't understand why this game is so heavily pay-to-win. Why wouldn't you make a version for casual players who are fine with, for example, watching an ad occasionally after they explicitly enabled it? Players who pay have an extreme advantage now. The shield mechanic in Trainer battles is also not fun and takes way too long.

I really enjoy Pokemon Go and have been playing since the release in 2016. Its a good excuse to get out and spend some time outside to "touch grass". However, the Android app has significantly more issues than the iOS app does. I have to sign out and back in on average about 4 times per week and deal with freezes daily. This would be a 5 star review if the app was more flushed out, but given the issues I have seemingly just playing the game I can't give more than 3.
