I've been around since near the beginning. Not quite within the first few months or possibly first year, as I never really tried hard to find out... anyways, yeah. I'm from the era of Redacted.
But I disagree in keeping Ingress Redacted around. It's old and needs to go to its well deserved eternal rest, unless Prime somehow fails completely.
The future is filled with unknowns, Agents. Will you cling to the past and turn you eyes away from the future? I certainly hope not.
Prime is gaining more and more ground with each iteration and Redacted will inevitably drop off the map.
Redacted on iOS 12 crashes quite frequently, and once iOS 13 comes out this fall, Redacted may no longer function. I don't know what it is for Android users, but a lot of Android users don't upgrade their OS as frequently as Apple users.
Nope, been forcing myself to use Prime since it launched in November.
Now when I try to use redacted, redacted feels outdated and archaic. Prime is exponentially better in every way. (other than it's hard to see in sunlight, thats it's only problem)
@HonestEl yes i understand and agree. Moving forward will bring a new Ingress ERA. But im still having problems, and for me important ones, using redacted and clicking link i got 4 or 5 links, in Prime i got 1. Playing for the checkpoints i can't fool around.
3 important things like cap fulldeploy link has to be clean and no issues.
I am a redacted player but mostly because of the visibility issues in Prime. There's actually quite a lot I like in Prime, but when I'm outside I can't see it to use it :D
I’m playing on Redacted cuz is smooth and easy to play. When’s recharging a portal I got 80 AP per resonators recharge and when I linked the animation is quick sam when I comes from Glyphs.
When redacted dies, I gonna learn how to play no Prime. Ingress never lets me down.
As a Redacted player and one who has had Ingress since you had to join an IRC chat and get an invite code. I think we should just move to the new system once it is ready there are only a few bugs that annoy me left and I play with both to practice the new version. There is no point trying to harm the players of the game because you wish to stay in the past. Prime is quite nice currently with its QoL changes but it feels like it is roughly even with Redacted atm and needs something to give it that final push. I hope for a low power mode to change the graphics down a bit towards Redacteds not for battery life since We all have powerbanks these days but for seeing in bright environments.
I am a redacted player, but have slowly moved towards Prime. Fielding and linking are super nice in prime. I'm used to the visuals of Redacted, and viewing grey portals in Prime can still be tricky at times. Prime is getting there though- I'm slowly moving towards it.
I really tried to use Prime on numerous occasions, but after playing for more than 30 minutes I simply get headaches because of my visual impairment. I do like that in Prime deploying and fielding seems smoother and faster, but for now I'm forced to keep using Redacted.
Prime took some time to get used to, but I find that I prefer it to Redacted these days. It runs smoothly on my phone and I like the way it looks. I feel that I can react faster with Prime. I'm looking forward to being able to see the screen better in sunlight. That said, I'm most often playing Ingress around dawn/dusk and the screen issue isn't such a big deal for me. Being able to turn my phone upside down to activate a screen saver while I'm walking between portals has really helped my battery out.
The only thing that kept me using redacted was portal submitting. The Prime UI/UX is much better but I prefer the visuals of redacted, especially in bright sunlight. Putting the phone in my pocket upside down when I'm hiking to save battery life is good too.
I started in year four and I’m still using Redacted. I’m trying to make myself get used to Prime, but I’m having a hard time because I dislike the visuals. The animations and UI in Prime look cartoonish whereas Redacted looks like a legitimate tool whose purpose is accessing portals.
Prime has its issues, but overall it is playable if you have a new phone. Which I don't, and I can't afford to buy one anytime soon. So I'm sticking with redacted.
Prime still freezes quite a lot on my op2 with Android9.

i will miss the 2d landscape and loading speed. but looking forward to when prime is the only thing.

Right now i trying my best to play with Prime.
But it has not been very easy because of my redacted dependability.
@Majeye what about battery?

Let's see with the latest prime version.
@Digitalis it will always be on our memories. ☺
@Sonicgott that will append some day.
IOS and some versions of android will no longer be able to use the app.
And that i can't agree, it will affect many players around the globe forcing them to buy new phones.
That will not solve the main issue in Ingress of all times. The "ImNotHere"
When I can use Prime during the day I will start using it. As it stands now it's unusable in the daylight.
In few months hopefully it will be out of beta?.... Then prime all the way i guess...

I'm trying to use Prime more and more. There are times where I jump back to Redacted especially when I'm doing quick caps on portals.
Zero option in keeping Redacted around, as much as I prefer it. Niantic cannot release new builds of it anymore.
I've been trying to use Prime more, but it's just a nauseating mess to look at compared to Redacted (IMO) :/
Ive been swapping back and forth. Prime has got better, i still like how the fields look in redacted vs prime.

I am also a redacted player, but I found Ingress Prime somehow more playable despite of playing in direct sunlight.
Trying my best to use Prime...
Time is too short.
I honestly like more prime than redacted
I prefer redacted except for finding a capsule that someone has dropped for me. That is easier in prime
will remove redacted when ingress prime has an appeal option and when the load time isn't so slow.
appeal function for invalid /edit portals should receive an add photo option

Prime is advancing and getting better but i still have a a few issues before switching permanently, i hope they get fixed soon.
Remembering old design medals...
There is no limit for NIA now...
Love the old Ingress Monochromatic medals. 😊😉
