Most issues you can report ingame are coins/pokestop based how am i suppose to report their shitty update corruption

Even iphonex users are faced with this. So it’s not my phone. Niantic needs an another update Asap.

As soon as you mention iPhone 5 to Niantic they won’t be interested as they’ve already announced that device will no longer be supported as of 28th of Feb 2018.

This has been happening to me as well, after the last update I believe. Freezes while berry feeding, freezes after clicking on a gym, going out, and clicking on the same gym again or another gym. It’s very frustrating. Glad to hear it’s not only me though.

Before this last update, I was also having a freezing issue, where the screen would freeze, then half the screen would shift slightly vertically.

I have a iPhone 8 Plus and it constantly freezes doing just about everything. I have to restart after every gym interaction, raids, pokestop spins, berry feedings, you name it. Really makes me mad when it does it during my raids. I even tried uninstalling and re-installing the app. I know I am not the only trainer in my area having the same issues.

My iPhone SE freezes a few times a day but not enough for me to complain about because I just restart it. Got it July of '16 just to start playing the game.

I had seen people like asking about gym freeze, but had no issues until I updated my phone. Went from iPhone 5 on iOS 10.x. to an 8 with iOS 11. I think it’s linked to the new iOS update rather than the just new pogo update, as I had never had it before new phone, and now it is common.

I probably have to restart the app 5-6 times a day from it freezing up.

Omg I thought I was the only one, I’m on iPhone X and I hate force quitting every time I click on gym etc. I hope they fix this soon!!! It’s so annoying. I tried emailing them and tweeting them but I got no reply ☹

We had to back out of a gym twice yesterday because someone’s phone kept freezing up. It happens.

I’ve noticed the games gotten a little more unstable, especially in high activity areas (though that’s to be expected).

The game shouldnt be crashing at all like this. Interacting with gyms are now a problem.
