Do peeps who don't have the game officially yet need a new .apk now?

Along with the update, I also got the app asking permission to send notifications on iOS (which I believe it didn't ask for before).
Maybe now the app will have more functionality while not currently open?

.apk needs to be redownloaded?
Not on Android.

Is there any way to tell what team or individual is attacking a gym that has the battle animation on it?
Seems so since on Ios it ask the user to download the update (previous page)
To be fair, cataloguing locations is a practical impossibility. They're not set and they're constantly changing. You can find a Dratini in one place one day and not in the next.
Everything else is standard fare, and I do like the UI they're going with.

Am I crazy, or is the proximity circle around your character larger since the update? I'm getting almost half my office, whereas before I only got a small corner of it.
No difference
Man I still haven't even heard if there's an update for Android at all or not.
Sooo glad the 1hp glitch is fixed either way though, I am gonna try to score a triad tonight at least
Since there is a Pokémon wristband coming, I can see them adding smart watch support around that time.

Same. This shite is obnoxious.
Edit: It let me in after I logged out and back in again with google. It asked for new, less invasive permissions and now I'm in.

There is no android update. You can use the old apk because there is no other apk
Also, if you're on Android and live in a region where the game is launched but originally sideloaded the apk, you can uninstall the game and reinstall it from the store and keep your progress once you sign back in. That's what I did anyway. I did a search for it in the store and uninstalled it from the store; I doubt that it matters how you uninstall it though. Considering how online heavy the gameplay is I'm sure everything (userdata) is stored serverside.

Alright, signing in worked now, no .apk needed then it seems 
I've yet to get into playing it (mostly due to it not being available through the store in my region), but this is probably the intention of Pokémon realized, right?
I've been hesitant towards it because of the reduced focus on battles, but that was never the core of Pokémon - it was 'catching them all'. And this seems like the full virtual realization of Satoshi Tajiri's inspiration for Pokémon - bug collecting. This is a true virtualization of that activity, and I find that fascinating.

The push notifications update- that may be prep for use with the Go Plus. Please don't get your hopes up that traditional os-level notifications are part of this update, if they are ever to come at all.
Literally no idea lol. Will see what I can find
You may be misunderstanding their rationale for releasing the device
Thank you good sir.

Are invites still going out for this? I've been wanting to try it but I don't really want to bother resetting my Reddit login info and posting on the sub for a while to get a code.

I play with AR mode turned off, its better without it TBH
For me AR was a novelty but not more than that. Turned it off after a few levels because you don't have to aim your phone anywhere, making it easier to catch pokes.
AR is just a gimmick in this game - it doesn't really add anything

Was only half into this game until my boyfriend and I went out to a trail to catch Pokemon, which was really fucking fun.
We saw about 60-100 people in our area walking around with the game. Unreal.
I have a Charmander starter and was mainly looking for Bulba/Squirtle/Pikachu. Caught five more Charmanders instead. :0

Wtf... Everytime I try to launch the app it crashes and sends me back to my home phone screen. And there's a Grimer outside. Anyone have a fix?

I dream of the day when I don't have to hard restart this app 473890172 times in a day
Okay....let me rephrase that. I don't close the app. I never actively do. But changing to another app, then turning your screen off is obviously wrong, right?
So the correct way is to turn the screen off while having the app open, yes?
I just tried it (the code in their post) and I entered it!

Huh. I've been trying for a bit and it just says the servers are overloaded.

Saw silhouettes for Jynx and Growlithe but I had to go to work. 
as of now it only works when it is the active battery sucking app that it is. There is no way to make it work with the screen off as far as i know, barring some kind of jailbreak option where you are literally shutting the screen down but the phone thinks its still on.

Well the <16 old crowd usually doesn't have a smart watch and I can't see a lot of older people walking around with this:
If the hype continues, I can see people buying smart watches for this game xD
Myself included
AR mode is actually more of a gimmick/adorable way to get pictures of Pokemon in the real world than anything that actually impacts the game. Catching is easier without (though I actually like the challenge
) and it drains your battery. Cool, but totally superfluous.eeee he's beautiful, pau :')

Where are you catching Charmanders?

so is the starter Pokemon pretty much useless? CP still at 25 lol and the rest of mine are hundred+

Help! My mom wants Pokemon Go
It must be on, open, active, burning bright into the sky (there is a battery saver option that dims the screen if you physically turn the phone upside down but it isn't that great).
