Niantic Campfire

I really like the app for a variety of reasons, especially connecting users. However, it could be more user friendly by fixing things like member search and adding things like the ability to sort group members. It would also be nice if you could link Campfire messaging to POGO, so you can click a friend and message them without having to search for them on Campfire, which also doesn't seem to work.

This app could be a lot better with minor improvements. The first problem has to do with timing and distance defaults. the app only lets you light a flare at a nearby stop for 10 minutes. At the same time, it will notify you of any flares lit within a several mile radius. In many cases, it is simply not possible to get to a location that has a lit flare before the 10 minute timer runs out. This defeats a main purpose of the app. The icons are also not intuitive, and the chat feature lags a lot.

It's a good concept and we'll overdue but it's also very invasive. It consistently notifies you of every flare nearby and the options to turn it off don't work. I'm still receiving them. Also some of those flares that I get notified on aren't even close by, so adding a distance option would be better, because saying nearby and it being a physical hour away is not one the same, especially here in NYC.
