I was hoping this would include concepts for visual and UX refreshes. I think the UI and UX are both in need of some love.
Same. For an application like this, do you approach it as a game or as a social app?
It's both.
A couple of small improvements I would want (as a city walker who plays it in mute and needs eyes up) is a long vibration if a Pokémon escapes from a ball, and a short sharp one to let you know you caught it.
The first two have basically already been announced as future features.
I would improve it by making sure the servers are stable and fixing the glitches and bugs in the navigation/GPS/location services before worrying about adding features.
I'm 100% sure these features are on Niantic's roadmap, or that they've considered it. They'll get to it eventually.
I'm actually pretty sure these features were available for the Beta tests, and they just rolled it out at a simpler level for launch purposes.
