Is anyone else using the Field Trip app from Niantic to find portals? It's turned me on to several in my area.

I've got it installed and I've selected the portals under Games, however, considering that I drive most everywhere, I think it is of very limited use to me. By the time it goes off, I'm already past what it is trying to notify me about.

I love it. I have had Field Trip since its beta, and this feature is great
"This app cannot be installed in your country."
Well fuck you too then.
While I like the app it hasn't alerted me to any portals yet. Only somewhat cool historic stuff.
Did you enable the portal alerts in the configuration?

I thought they were using what we are doing to help beef up Field Trip?
I think that's backwards. Field Trip was probably the first test of the database and basic concept. I do think it will remain a standalone app though.
Well either way, the two certainly seem to go hand-in-hand with each other...
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Damn you.
EDIT: It is great for finding portals, and turning on the push notifications is a great way to receive alerts without having Ingress running. And damn you.
I discovered this feature yesterday...very freaking handy.
