Pokémon Go players furious at updates

Pokémon Go players have reacted angrily to the first update for the hugely popular mobile app, with many now arguing it has been made much harder to catch the digital creatures as a result.

Developer Niantic has issued an update which added some much-anticipated features — including the ability to re-customise the appearance of your character and the re-balancing of some Pokémon characters’ powers in order to make the game more competitive.

However, many users have taken to social media to express their frustration that the app’s Pokémon tracking tool has been completely removed, after it failed in the first days of the app’s launch.
