Pokemon Go is the biggest app in history, but the game hasn't been without issues. The game has been plagued with frequent server crashes since launch and several bugs are still frequently irking players, despite multiple updates. Some players have decided that enough is enough and have started a petition formally requesting change.

Jessica Johnston from Rochester, PA started the petition earlier today on Change.org, asking Niantic Labs to hire additional staff and halt the game's release in other countries until the server problems are fixed. "Players are unable to enjoy the game and feel they are wasting their money due to the game being unstable," Johnston wrote in the petition. "What is more frustrating is the complete and total lack of customer service with Niantic."

In addition to the fixes to the game, Johnston's petition is also requesting that players be compensated for dealing with the bugs. She has asked Niantic to provide all players with 50 PokeBalls, 40 PokeCoins, a free bag upgrade and two 10KM eggs as a "thank you" for their support.

The petition was started earlier today and has received 29 signatures. It's unclear what will happen if the petition reaches its 100 signature goal, as Pokemon Go has been downloaded over 10 million times over the last two weeks.
