I think my acc is affected again. I was voting very slowly too.
I believe the bug is not resolved
Normally if you're getting towards 'the end of the quene', you just have to wait longer to get another review. After clicking refresh a couple of times, you'll eventually get something new to review. You might be out for half an hour.
With this bug, you never get sent anything again. Days later nothing. Hit refresh and the system doesn't even buffer for a moment to take a look for one for you, it just rejects the refresh request.
The first time the 'fixed' it, they blamed it on people voting too fast. But it's happened again to me when my last lot of voting was on a slow internet connection during a short, careful session.
I have experienced severe issues too, but I think we need to provide more data to try getting to the bottom of this. I'll have a go:
For the past 18 months, I've followed a "rhythm" that I review in one or two sittings just about every day. Each day, I review until my "feed" has "no more nominations" - so I see this as normal. Normal for a "whale", anyway. For the longest i had no locations set, just my play location (I live in a city) - about 6 months a go I set "home" (still same country) and was amazed to actually see a few nominations now and then (rural area, not much activity)
From January this year, I PLAYED Ingress less and less. The PoGo account with the same google login even less, as in not opening the app. By the time the pandemic hit in March, it was easy for me to drop all outside games, even WU which was my "daily driver". So for a good 8 weeks there, I had no play on Ingress or Pogo. I even stopped reviewing completely(!) - but got back into it by 25/4. Things went on like before.
Then, logging in on 16/5, the "no more nominations" screen was there, right after login. I got NOTHING that whole day! And by the next morning, still nothing, I knew something wasn't right and found similar problems on the forum. "They'll fix it" I thought. I was wrong.
To summarize THE LATEST WEEKS: Generally, I went without nominations for around THREE DAYS, then I got ONE DAY of nominations, then back to another three without. When I had nominations, I reviewed 3-400 before the feed was empty. It was extremely frustrating to find the feed empty the next day, but some people had ideas:
GPS AREA - if you don't play, will wayfarer then not find your location and NOT assign you nominations? Maybe only from "Home" which only has nominations every three days, and they "let you in"? I really thing Niantic should clarify this, because in a global health crisis, I can see many players shelving the game for months, preferring to stay inside. And review Wayspots! Me, I started playing Ingress outside every other day - I'm lucky to live a place where I can - and the next day I got Nominations. For one day only.
BONUS AREA. I did not have that as I felt my "feed" was big enough. I suppose a lot of reviewers don't have that. So I set one, same country, other side of country - high population area. There was nothing the next day, or the next, but after three days I got nominations.
Now, afraid, to empty the feed, I did smaller sessions, maybe 150 at time. And I started seeing nominations from "the other side" and I suppose I now have an even bigger feed than ever. As such, even if I have totalled as much/more than before, I haven't emptied the feed, and every since day has been full of nominations.
I presume the bug continues - and I'm not really happy with my "solution". "Nothing wrong" and "you review too fast" are simply not taking the problem seriously.
No portals to review in last 72 hours!!! Please fix.
continuamos con el mismo problema! no hay nominaciones a evaluar
This is clearly not fixed. I’ve had the issue for over two weeks now. Like OGMagus above, I get more subs to review every 3-5 days. When I get them it’s only a few dozen. Then I have to wait 3-5 days for more.
before the bug, when I I would refresh for nominations, there was a delay which (to me, anyway) indicated wayfarer was checking the system to see if any new ones were ready to send to me. Since the bug, when I refresh, there is no delay. It’s instant. Almost like the system isn’t actually being checked for new nominations.
as for my gameplay and wayfaring habits, I play pogo daily. I’ve got just under 12,000 reviews in wayfarer. I have an ingress account that I rarely use. My wayfarer rating is currently green. I have a home location and a bonus location in a northern rural region. I have had those since last November
I wish this bug would be taken seriously. I have many nominations stuck in voting and can’t get any upgrades because I can’t actually rate anything. I feel as though I’m being punished or disadvantaged due to no fault of my own.
At the very least some confirmation from @NianticCasey-ING or someone else that yes, this is a problem, and yes, they are taking this seriously and working on a solution would provide some small comfort.
Can't upvote this thread, doesnt have the up arrow.
This bug is still not resolved
There is a new thread to upvote. Maybe upvote that one
https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/3002/no-nominations-to-review-at-this-time-since-2-weeks-big-bug-unresolved#latest
Same problem since 48h. No nominations to review at this time. I know, that isn't true... Please fix it
I have the same issue for about a week now.
Usually, in the past when I had this warning, after a few hours/minutes the candidates started to slowly pour down and in the matter of days I had enough to review for a long session.
This does not seem to be location related as I have several friends and acquaintances in my area which are still reviewing new Wayspots.
Please fix this. I don't actively play as much PoGo or Ingress due to the current situation, but do enjoy contributing to the local games community the best I can, through Wayfarer and this is making it impossible.
I even had planned to do a "Wayfarer Welcome Party" during next Ingress First Saturday, where I could walkthrough new local players (from both games) how the system works and how useful it is. It's kinda difficult to do that effectively since the most important part of the system (actually reviewing something!) isn't working for me and, as it seems in this thread, a few others as well.
Just want to follow up with the consequences when bugs like this are not adequately acknowledged or addressed. I am not posting this to whine, but just have a record of the consequences that result from inadequate action.
I am one of three moderators of a wayfarer discord. It is connected to discords for pogo, ingress and HPWU covering a population area of 1.2 million people.
One of my fellow moderators, who is a long time ingress player, made this statement just now: “I've quit reviewing and submitting because of this. No longer interested.”
He was referring to a different bug than this one, but this shows how the apparent inability of niantic to sufficiently Acknowledge issues and fix the wayfarer platform is resulting in people abandoning it.
I haven’t given up yet, but since I can’t review due to this bug, I and many others have effectively abandoned the platform as well, even though it’s not by choice.
When community leaders with long histories playing niantic games are abandoning the platform, it’s a big issue.
I hope that Niantic realizes the damage that is needlessly being done to its properties right now.
Again this is not meant to be unduly harsh - I am sure this isn’t easy. However damage is being done at the moment due to unresolved and unacknowledged bugs.
Same here for me, since 2 days no more nominations to review, I have the same problem on May and it was fixed, but now again the same issue, please @NianticCasey-ING tell us where this problem came from and fix it
Anyone else have any observations on this:
I had no noms, waited, nothing, put bug report in pogo, could vote, then no noms again, waited, nothing, put another bug report in pogo, can vote again.
I wasnt keeping times on this but it seemed doing nothing was 24 to 48 hours of no noms before I gave in and did the bug report then it seemed like 12 hours and I could vote again.
That is 1 person and 2 observations so who knows but is anyone else seeing something like this?
I reported a bug through the Pokémon go app and was told there was nothing wrong. It did not result in new subs being released.
@NianticCasey-ING
This. This guy understands the real issue secondary to the "No nominations to review at this time" problem. After I earned Lv40, I found some folks who review and taught me all about reviews, Wayfarers, nominations, etc. As of now a majority of them have stopped altogether because of this reoccurring issue. And most likely permanently. Preceding this, my nominations went from VOTING to RESULT in ~24 hours. It's took approximately 8 days for my last nomination before it was approved after voting.
I understand other people have exponentially longer times on everything. I only mention my "time increases" going up several fold because it should be safe to assume a similar multiplier will affect others too, regardless of their nominations taking 1 day, 1 week, or a couple months.
Wayfarer rekindled my enjoyment of Niantic games. Now I don't even want to check anymore. Please fix this before the people who voluntarily do reviews on behalf of Niantic flee like those mentioned above.

Llevo 10 dias en la misma posicion, nada de evaluar, solo poder ver mis propuestas.
Please this is happening with me too... I have Ingress and Pokemon Go Accounts with differents levels (PKGO 40 / ING 10)

I seem to be on a four day cycle. I’m allowed to vote and then the no nominations message pops up. It takes about four days before I can vote again. I know from speaking to other local reviewers that there are nominations that I have not voted on.
Also my nominations are staying in que for much longer than I have ever observed before this bug. 4-5 days before they enter the voting stage. Before it was about 1day. We have plenty of local reviewers so I’m not sure what the problem is.
Esto también me sucede, desde hace ya casi 72 horas me aparece "No hay nominaciones para revisar en este momento".
Revise el tema con unos amigos y ellos si pueden revisar, tengo buena puntuación y paso esto, espero pronto se solucione la falla @NianticCasey-ING
Same here @NianticCasey-ING
6 days later, late at night, I finally reached the "end of feed" as it used to be (after wading through my new larger feed) , "No more nominations".
And the next morning, LOCKED OUT AGAIN. It's now been 24 hrs, so I know this song and dance. Still no (new)response from Niantic,
Still.... nominations to review
any news?
Mismo problema sigue el bug de que no hay revisiones, llevo 2 días por favor tratar de arreglar el problema
Добрый день, аналогичная проблема.
Не могу пройти даже обучение и не могу рассматривать wayports. Sony z3, sony z5. Нет кнопки обучение. У другого игрока все есть :(
No reviews for 48hrs, what gives? I'm nearing 50k reviews and suddenly, no reviews. I even set my bonus location to somewhere I thought would give me a heap of reviews but not a thing has happened. I don't speed review and always put a reason for rejection. I also include what the nomination is if I believe it should be a wayspot. This has never happened to me before and it is making me want to give up on reviewing. What is going on Niantic?
This has been going on for 3 days now.
I reached out to Niantic via Twitter and they first told me that there’s nothing to review looking at my account.
I said to them that this can’t be true as I talk to players all over my area and know for a fact they have things in voting that I have not seen.
They then responded with this:
Thanks for sharing. We're looking into similar reports and we've shared your report with our team internally. Please keep an eye out on our official channels for updates regarding the same. We appreciate your understanding! ^MS
I really hope this gets fixed soon!!
Hi everyone,
Firstly I want to let you know that your feedback and concerns about this haven't gone unheard! We've seen this feedback here in this thread, in other threads, on Reddit, on Twitter, and other places. I've been working with the Wayfarer team to dig into multiple instances reported to us about this.
I want to give an update on the status of this situation. I sat with one of the engineers on the product and we went through a number of examples in this thread (and others) to confirm that there isn't a bug causing this. There isn't. But we did see the behavior that you've described here and are looking into the combination of factors behind the scenes that is causing this issue for you.
In the meantime, I have a few suggestions that could help address this:
I'll check in early next week with you on the status of this issue, thanks for your patience!
Some of you have review times of less than a minute
If this is a factor, I really hope there's more to it. After 80k+ reviews I can assure you that most candidates take no longer than 30 seconds a piece. Of course there are exceptions to this, but with a reasonable amount of experience the exceptions aren't enough to push the average time this high.
Additionally, simply giving the appearance that there is nothing to review without affecting rating, giving any additional warning, or really even giving people a reasonable way "reset" is a really terrible user experience. We're doing millions of dollars of free labor for you, don't make this so opaque, confusing, and frustrating.
I fully understand that many of these measures are in place to curb abuse of all kinds but they seem misguided, mistargeted, and heavy handed.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk @NianticCasey-ING
