They appealed here.
Street signs in Portugal, that’s was why they were removed.
@Glawhantojar It’s still impractical from a cost perspective, as it would cost Niantic labor costs to figure out how to implement.
Also, not everyone likes getting notifications on their devices, including myself. Yes, they can be turned off, but we’ve had people here in the forums getting upset that they keep getting notifications and don’t understand us when we try to explain how to turn them off. There was someone recently new to the forums who got very upset about this, as they kept getting woken up at all hours of the night, even though we advised on how to turn notifications off.
It would cause more traffic to the forums from people like this getting a review nomination for their local area at midnight, while in class, or while at work, for example.
I also prefer reviewing from my laptop, as I find reviewing from my phone or tablet to be somewhat cumbersome. It’s easier for me to switch back and forth from browser tabs to do more digging on Google Maps or a web search.
Niantic, like any other business, is going to look at what works best for all practical, basically pros vs cons. Right now, I see more cons then pros. There’s already a lot of cons to reviewing that the community has brought to Niantic’s attention, so it’d be better to work on those than trying to implement a completely new way of reviewing.
