Ingress Prime

You guys are putting in work. However there are some things that need to be fixed in order to be pretty close to a perfect app, such as the start up time, an increase to the overall speed of the game (resonator deploy time mainly), putting in a message that tells you that you can’t recharge portals over 45 mph (it tells me LOCAL_RESONATOR_NOT_SET which idk exactly what it means but it should say “unable to recharge over 45mph” for the newer players), an easier way to organize your portal keys as I have so many, an easier way to recharge your portals (it just becomes tedious when you have to recharge EVERY portal when you have 200+ portals to recharge everyday), and to get notified when someone is destroying your portal that’s not yours but you have the portal key (sometimes portals will be damaged or destroyed without notifying me just because I’m not the portal owner.) If you guys fix all of these things, I will play the game until the day I die. This is my favorite mobile game and I would hate to see it stay this way.

Prime is still not as stable as the original scanner. I regularly see several bugs. 1- the scanner will show item inventory as being 900 items more than actual inventory. I have to completely close the app and restart to fix this. 2- nearby portal icons are so wide that they cover to the middle of the screen and into the middle of the viewed play area. 3- nearby portal icons show portals 30, 40, or as much as 100 km away, but do not display portals within 1-2 km. I am to the point of wanting a switch o just turn off the nearby portal feature. 4- longer distance portals either take several minutes to show up in linkable portals list or do not show at all unless all closer portal keys are placed in a capsule or portal key locker. 5- the new player icon rotating in the top left corner of the scanner screen serves no purpose, is distracting, and should be switchable to hide or display 6- deploying resonators is still significantly slower than with the old scanner 7- app start up takes for-ev-er

I’ve played this game for four years. It’s very competitive and my team (Blue Resistance) is friendly and supportive to all new players. The game can be played almost anywhere and with different styles. Players can do player-made exploration missions, collect badges, capture and defend areas large and small for their faction in order to out score the other team. Large battles are organized every so often called Anomalies taking place in multiple major cities across the globe. The game continues to improve with updates. I’ve discovered so much and met many fine people due to this game.

I think the Prime version is a huge improvement on the game. Though honestly I don’t play much, there’s simply so much more going on in Pokémon Go and Wizards Unite (I’ve played all three and mostly play WU these days). Solo Ingress play is just kind of meh. I’m sure it’s a lot better if you find the local community. Communication about events also feels vague or fleeting. You can’t access news or an event calendar in game. Most events seem to be in random locations across the globe (aka inaccessible by casual players).

Yea prime has had its problems but has been improving with great leaps and bounds. I think this is a great game and has been used to make plenty of other good games. I highly recommend grabbing a few friends and downloading the game. This game is meant to be played with other people. I have met so many friends playing this game and hope to continue doing that.
