I'm running iOS 9.3.2, and signing in to Pokemon Go caused it to have full access to my Google account. Just revoked it and looks like I can still play the game just fine.

Perhaps they misconfigured the Google auth sign-in? It's rather worrisome that it's this easy for an application to gain full access to your account, though.

Did you check the permissions again? I did the same, running the same iOS version, and it just restored the same full-access when I opened the app again.

Yep, just checked. It's not here at all. Were you asked to sign in again after you revoked?

I did the same. The app worked for a little while but bugged me to sign in again after a close and restart of the app. No thanks.
