Pokémon Go Creator Niantic Launches Major Update for Augmented Reality Game Ingress

If anyone plays Ingress just now i strongly advise DO NOT UPDATE to V2.11.2 I've been a player for 3 years & am now a level 13 player. T

Good points of V2.11.2
- I can now see the clock & rapidly depleting battery at the top of my screen. (this was hidden before)

Bad points from previous version(s) (which still arent fixed!
- Your music cuts off when opening the Ingress app
- Animations are slow and mandatory
- No higher levels after level 8
- Interface is slow & clunky
-Very frequent cant connect messages
- Cant log in messages
- Persistant Enable Cookies (ie you dont have any privacy!)

New Bad points in this version
- gameplay mechanics virtually unrecognisable
- Mandatory animations are even slower & laggy
- Interface layout of buttons etc is beyond a joke!! Was this even Beta tested or did they let a 3 year old loose with a crayon.
- Unable to figure out where interface buttons are at times. It took me 4 hours of playing to figure out where the attack button was
- No instructions on what (& where) the buttons are & do
- impossibly inoperable sliders to reduce game noises
- Mandatory "Press X' to close small pop up windows (before you could press anywhere to remove)
- Said pop up windows appear right where you need to see preventing you doing anything (unless you press X)
- when deploying a resonator then 'deploy' button is higher up near the middle of the screen which means when you press your hand hides half the screen
- Text is too small. Dark coloured text on a black background is unreadable, even for someone with perfect eyesight. Has niantic thought that someone with poor vision may actually want to play this?!

This is a short list of everything that is wrong with this game. Its beyond frustrating & almost an insult to the gamers that have put in hours, days, weeks & years to this game. How can a game get beyond Beta phase & not pick up simple things like above.

This goes down in my list of worst things at No 2, No 1 being Microsoft releasing Windows 10! (Dont even get me started on that pile of @£$%

I'm off to make a cup of hot chocolate, kick the dog off the sofa & calm my nerves.

Actually thought the Pokémon Go hype already ended unless we recently met a group of hundreds of strange people (description made by my little son) rushing through a local park while starring on their smartphones and stumbling upon each other...yet they seemed to enjoy whatever they were doing.
