[Feature Request] Kinetic Capsule pop-up when complete.

The Kinetic Capsules have been one of the good changes to the game in recent times. An active activity item that gained us VR gear and an incentive to get out and walk. However, as someone who does a lot of walking and (at current count) has over 200 Kinetic Capsules completed, one of the things that this feature lacks is "pop".

While there is an alert for the Kinetic Capsule completing, this alert is both silent, and not a phone notification. Unless you're looking there regularly, you don't realize when the KC completes, and I've walked for upwards of 15 minutes before noticing the alert. I usually realize faster when I'm in the Inventory and see the red dot.

Having a dismiss-able pop up, similar to gaining a badge, whenever a program completes (like PoGo does with Eggs) would be far more likely to get people excited about reloading their capsule and getting walking again.

    Seems like a very simple QOL upgrade…

    I think the only thing I’d caution is if this pop up shows up when opening the game or not. I imagine if ingress calculates your adventure sync travels and the kcap finishes while the game is closed, it would be one more thing to close when trying to frantically defend a portal. Definitely don’t need more of those..

    Just give me a widget like Pokémon GO got. Then I don’t need to check the app, or have a pop up, I can just see it on the widget and then open it.

    The Kinetic Capsule Completion notification is better than the Weekly Fitrep notification. Better scrap the latter and activate the former

    There was a phone notification introduced, but seems to have been so Buggy they stopped trying, I have gotten a couple in the last few months..

  • I'm yet to see it, plus that's outside the game, and I get more kms inside the game than sitting at my desk during work.
