Is relogging very often considered as cheating?
I often feel like the App suspends and so I "wish" it away in Task Manager (Double Home Button on iPhone or Right Button on Android). When I relaunch the App my Avatar has to be find its position again and "bounces around" (This effect seems to be stronger inside buildings).
On this way I often face Pokémon instantly after relogging. Is this just imagination or is it maybe even handled as cheating due to the quick location change? Does anyone have similar experiences?
Best Answer
As far as I can tell, you simply minimize the app and not shut it down entirely (you're not killing it in the task manager or anything) ? In any case this is not cheating, this is the GPS trying to figure out where in the world you are, as the phone and the satellites talk few times a second - constantly, and you suddenly stopped all the chatter, now your phone is not really sure where it is, and it needs a moment to figure this stuff out.
So NO it's in no way cheating whatsoever.
