"Friend list requires a serious review"


#PokemonGO: First of all, I still can't believe that they have added this huge feature out of the blue when most of us didn't believe that they were even thinking about it, so congrats Niantic!.And now to the topic of the post:The friend list is a version 1.0, just one day of use and its limitations are clear.It shows only the first 10 friends, requiring pull to load the next 10. It's painful to try to go to the bottom of the list to send gifts to the new friends or those that you haven't interacted with.As stated in this topic, there's no benefit to know what's the latest Pokemon that the other person has caught. Use the space to put something useful like an icon to tell me that I can send a gift to that person without opening their profile.Add sorting and filtering. That thread has so many great comments.For trainers above 18 years, add IM so we can send some messages with friends that we have added through places like The Silph Road, and don't have other way to contact them. Of course this can be useful also for local friends, so I think that it will be a great addition down the road. If anyone behaves incorrectly the solution is simple: you remove the other person from your friends list and you're done.There are also other adjustments related to the friends and gifts features that would be a great addition.Allow us to review the gifts that we have got from pokestops and delete them so we can send nice postcards instead of just some random graffiti. It will help also with the privacy of the trainers as it won't provide any special hint about where does that person lives exactly if s/he has a pokestop at home.Store more gifts to send. I don't want to stop while I'm playing to send gifts (specially giving how slow is using the friend list) and it would be nice to have a bigger list that I can send when I'm at home.Maybe a setting to disable getting eggs from pokestops? I can understand why Niantic wouldn't want to add the ability to delete eggs because otherwise most of the people would delete the 2&5 Km eggs, but it can be different when you opt out of getting any egg because you don't want to risk that the PoGo Plus gets a new egg before the hatch animation appears.I'm sure that there are many ideas and improvements down the road, but I think that it can be helpful if we can hint Niantic about what we feel that right now could provide better ROI for their development time.Edit, Other features that I missed and people have suggested:Add a tag/comment on each friend so we can identify them better.Send a gift from the inventory, showing only eligible people.Marking friends as Favorite.History of postcards received, a map, something to allow us to keep these memories.Open the profile with the last used tab, don't switch to Friends and also remove the red notification dot about pending gifts, show it only for new ones. via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2Ij7Ejh
