Comments on Ingress for Android

★★★★★ Uffe Vedenbrant · Sep 6, 2026

This is a game that has something in it for everyone. If you do not understand how it works. Check out the communities and everyone there will help you. Play local in your own area or travel around the world. Find both new friends and very interesting places to visit. Join CORE if you enjoy the game. We all need to support Ingress if it's to stay. 2026sept. Still here.:-)

★★★★☆ Porchia K · Sep 5, 2026

I have gained real friends through playing Ingress. Player since 2013 and still mildly active but ever since Prime, it's just too much going on. I miss the beautiful simplicity of how the game was. It seems like my stats look a little different I noticed a few numbers lower, and I also don't have my NL 1331 IRL badge from the meet up at the coffee shop here in Shreveport. AND Google Play created a little gauge for time spent= level title. I'm at 1 hour-rookie? On Ingress?... I hate it here

★★☆☆☆ Ryan S · May 6, 2026

This was an amazing game BEFORE Ni antic teamed with Pokémon. Obviously Pokémon took all the mechanics & coding and just made their game which was the Death of Ingress no point in playing these days. This was a game for like 10 years ago

★☆☆☆☆ Joe · May 16, 2026

Hey ingress are you going to do something about the toxic players who are targeting their own teammates because you aren't responding to people asking you for help on the websites, and you took down my mother post on your social media account about a player who targeting his own teammates taking them off the portal completely without any alerts of being attacked anyway to defend it, and he is calling other players from other factions to target the same portals

★☆☆☆☆ Roy Lemi · Jun 24, 2026

Daily mission nags nags nags too much. There should be a way to turn off that sound. I should be able to get to it only when I'm good and ready, not before.

★☆☆☆☆ Chod Ddles · Jul 3, 2026

It's taking longer to login in. GUI getting baggy. Fix the Bugs, Not bias the game. Best multilayer IRL out there

★★☆☆☆ Maël. C · Sep 12, 2026

As time went on, the game become more and more riddled with in-game transactions. From 2020 to 2026, purely aesthetic medals went from €2.5 to €25. Not even talking about the use of AI for some badges even though this is a very profitable company that could make use of the great community we have (community driven game right??) to design them. The change from Ingress [REDACTED] to Ingress Prime, now renamed Ingress, came with a bundle of lag and a quick depletion of your battery. Sooo meh....
