Niantic has just updated Pokemon Go for both iOS and Android taking the game to to 1.3.0/0.33.0 respectively.
The change list is super long and adds some new features, fixes some others and the big one – offers up a possible solution for the ‘nearby’ Pokemon feature.
Here’s the list direct from Niantic;
- Added a dialog to remind Trainers that they should not play while traveling above a certain speed. Trainers must confirm they are not driving in order to continue playing.
- Made improvements to the accuracy of a curveball throw
- Fixed a bug that prevented ”Nice,” ”Great,” and “Excellent” Poké Ball throws from awarding the appropriate XP bonuses.
- Fixed achievements showing incorrect Medal icons.
- Enabled the ability for Trainers to change their nickname one time. Please choose your new nickname wisely.
- Resolved issues with the battery saver mode on iOS and re-enabled the feature.
- Added visuals of Team Leaders Candela, Blanche, and Spark.
- We’re currently testing a variation of the “Nearby Pokémon” feature with a subset of users. During this period you may see some variation in the nearby Pokémon UI.
- Minor text fixes
We’ve just download the game ourselves and are testing to see what’s changed. Let us know how it goes for you in the comments.
