This, quite frankly, was one of the reasons I deleted the “Pokemon Go” app — apart from the whole it-being-wildly-addicting thing. The servers keep crashing! Understandable in some ways considering it’s become one of most viral phenomenons ever, but it’s still wildly frustrating. Especially when it goes down on a Saturday morning, interrupting prime Pokemon-catching hours.

SERVER UPDATE: According to @Independent, #PokemonGO servers have been taken down in a DDOS attack. We will update when we have more info. — Pokémon GO News (@PokemonGoNews) July 16, 2016
