PokeStop

Agree on both counts, it takes forever to load and then it pauses whatever audio I'm playing, even though I've got the sound off in Pokemon. I don't know what kind of phone you have but I have an android and I've found that if I pull down the status/notifications/whatever it's called from the top after Pokemon has loaded I can press play again and then hit clear and it will go back to Pokemon and the audio keeps playing. But it's really annoying to have to do that every single time.
