## Review summary

Users like the app for its clear UI and helpful map features, including a zoomable view not available in the game, and praise its easy login flow. However, the app is plagued by persistent login problems (across Google/Apple/Facebook), infrequent updates, intrusive ads, and frequent black screen crashes, which together render it unreliable for many on iOS. Overall, it’s a useful tool when functioning, but the maintenance and stability issues severely limit its practicality today.

### Pros

- Clear, efficient UI and easy to navigate
- Provides a zoomable map view that shows state not visible in-game
- Quick login flow / parity with the official site (easy access)
- Issues are addressed with updates/fixes relatively quickly when they occur

### Cons

- Persistent login failures and authentication problems (Google/Apple/Facebook) with spinning wheels or stuck login
- App appears outdated and unmaintained, with no updates for years
- Ads are intrusive and disrupt the user experience
- Black screen/crashes after login or during use, making the app unusable
