🇺🇸 USA Agents, we have a surprise for you!
The dearest Andrew Krug, former Global Community Manager for Ingress (and best beard in our discussion group!), was cleaning out his closet of Ingress swag and has prepared some small gifts for 10 lucky Enlightened and 10 lucky Resistance Agents to celebrate 2021 coming and 2020 leaving!
Enter your details in this form by January 4th @ 23:59 UTC to try and win one!
N.B. The giveaway is USA only, as per Andrew's request. We will verify the shipping address in private with the winning Agents and, if not eligible, we will extract a new name.
EDIT: The shipping address needs to be in the USA, this means that if you have a friend living there that can send the package to you anywhere else in the world, you can enter the giveaway. Of course, Andrew or IUENG cannot be held responsible for the package from then on.
Good luck!

As some of you may know, on Dec 29th, Croatia and in particular the cities of Petrinja, Glina and Sisak were struck by a strong earthquake that killed and injured people and destroyed buildings. Help is needed for volunteers from Croatian Red Cross to keep providing services to people that lost their homes.
Many of the destroyed houses belong to small family farms, so now they are living in housing containers.
The Ingress Community immediately mobilized to help, organizing the Petrinja Virtual IFS on February 6th 2021. During this event, donations will be collected using the croatian crowdfunding website Čini pravu stvar ("Do the right thing", which covers any charge or fee on donations!) to support the Croatian Red Cross in this tragic period.

Donations will be in Croatian Kuna, the local currency, so keep the currency exchange rate in mind when submitting your donation (7,5 Kuna = 1 Euro, 6 Kuna = 1 US Dollar)

Earlier today, Agents found Play Store listings for a Dogfood (internal use only) and a Beta version of Ingress Prime, which have since been hidden. We recorded only minimal and irrelevant difference between those apps and the public Ingress Prime version, which only regarded in-app store listings.
One interesting thing to notice about those two Applications is this screenshot, which was visible among the example images, depicting the Ingress Prime scanner in a very early stage of development, with no UI and an initial Portal design.
We are posting this to remind you how much Prime has improved since the early betas or even the initial release, hoping to spark some excitement for future improvements and new features that will be added going forward!
Ingress is more than just a game!

2.63.1 Black screen
After upgrading to 2.63.1, it does not start with a black screen after displaying the logo. I reinstalled it, but it doesn't improve. OS: Android 5.0.2, Model:
Today, Brian Rose commented under a pretty critical forum post about the state of Ingress.
In this message he once again expressed his commitment to "iterating and improving the game", and explained how he tries to have a more direct connection with the players by reading as many forum threads and Play Store reviews as possible, and joining First Saturday Zoom calls whenever possible.
He addressed the issues regarding communication, saying that not hearing from him that often may have sparked in some players a sensation of conflict between Niantic and them, which is not how him or any of the Ingress team members feel. Additionally, Brian stated that the team is "working to hire" a new community manager to improve on this front!
We would like to join Brian in calling all agents to action and help this small team understand what, in our opinion, works well and what needs to be improved.
To do this, follow these simple steps:
• Collect your thoughts and try to think of a fair rating for Ingress based on its current state. (Are you absolutely certain that Ingress deserves only 1 star? Absolutely nothing works?)
• Open the Play Store or the App Store, and leave a review of Ingress Prime. Don't stop after clicking the amount of stars you think is fair, but explain what you like the most about the app and what you think needs to be improved.
• Consider adding one or two stars to your review, if you feel like Ingress improves over time. Keep it updated, let the team know that you love and care about the game just like we do.
N.B. Google tends to not count old reviews, so if you already reviewed Ingress, consider updating and reposting your review.
The dev team really seems committed to keeping this game alive and to returning Ingress to its previous glory, but we need to help. Ingress is the community around it: we are all still here complaining about it because we love it and want to see it thrive, even if some of us don't like to admit it openly. Let's show that the Ingress community is still very much alive!
