We all had a lot of hope that Ingress 2.0 will give us new servers and awesome new features for the "old" scanner. What we got is Ingress Prime and the (old) [redacted] scanner. While usually people love what they know and are critical about changes the nerdy Ingress player base is usually very open for improvements and developments. This is a turkish street food restaurant that I recently stumbles upon in my hometown Berlin-Spandau. I had to memefy it instantly on location while waiting for their delicious Prime Kebap spezial dish. But when Niantic finally made their new Prime Scanner in 2018 public, the reactions were very mixed. While it had a modern looking user interface, brought one finger map rotation and a cool way to recharge xm with power cubes, it was slower than the old client, crashed a lot and had major bugs that prevented proper gameplay (e.g. not detecting every linkable portal).
