Nope but I started before the update and it was totally different. Are you just pulling back the whatsit on the thingy and aiming at the box?
I think it was a glitched one, stayed in the same place on the map regardless of where I was pointing so a quick reset and it seems to be sorted.

A colleague and I are struggling with the codes for the 500 coins. Following the links that we sent doesn't seem to do anything aside from open the app?

Deleted it after a couple of hours.
I don't understand why people can't just keep their own boxes instead of continually nicking mine when there are loads of spares in the area.

It almost feels botlike so you'll spend money on more coins wink

Being a somewhat cynical person, I'm not entirely convinced a lot of the other 'snatchers' are genuine. I was somewhat dubious of the snatcher at Level 1 with 11 XP yet had 3000 collected boxes, 2000 snatched and 800 lost, how do they only have 11XP?

Some of the usernames seemed rather specific as well, so I googled them with zero results. People are creatures of habit and often use the same usernames, when I did the same with Pokemon Go you'd get Twitter, Instagram, Facebook accounts, etc.

I think the company behind it realised they were giving quite a bit away and needed to up their revenue.
The same player followed me from work to home somehow to steal my boxes, at that point I realised it was a con and deleted it.

And why do I have to enter my username, DOB and go through the prize select screen (that has a delayed 'next' button at the bottom) every time I log in? It's almost as if they want me to lose my boxes...

Here's it is, not 3000 collected and 2000 snatched but near enough

I have to every single time, and I saw comments in the reviews from others who had the same issue. I'm on Android, dunno about you?

IOS here, to be fair I'd get rid of it too if it was such a pain

Hadn't considered the bot angle... seeing that screen shot makes me super suspicious...

I'd assumed there might be bots but it's still free stuff and a bit of fun. I've found that other Snatchers are fairly consistent ie the same ones in each area I travel to. I'd guess that they would put bots in areas there are few players in to spice it up a bit.

Also, the ones I assume to be bots don't actually defend so you can get your full quota from them instead of wandering around smile

Which would be great if the game gave you some coins to start with but it doesn't

Edit: signed up again with a different email address and got 650 coins and a referral code: QN62I4

I was reading that they knocked everyone back to level 1 last week, so that might be why he has all those boxes.

also on the bot thing, I work out of town and will go all day without seeing anyone else here. if they had bots I'd expect to see a few here too?

If they knocked everyone back to Lvl1 last week then how does that explain the higher levels (16, 18, etc) I've seen this week? :P
