The gym fights now seem to not only have dodge bugs but also attack bugs!
It looks as if the gym fight starts two threads in parallel, updating the actions on the screen independent of each other. You have to defeat and be defeated in both threads. It also consumes more phone battery power and the lags seem to come from overheating or maxing out the CPU power.

Raids are crap, buggy app
Did a **** raid against a 30 000 tyranitar recently. It's completely unplayable, since the health bars are flickering around, charge moves are useless and not counted. The gym system is buggy as hell. 25 seconds time to choose your 6 attackers with this bggy interface? Don't waste a raid pass anymore and don't buy passes with your hard earned coins till the gyms work properly without these redicolous bugs. Thanks for nothing, Niantic. The game becomes unplayable since last update. The ball in the upper left corner is loading and loading... After some minutes the game crashes, mostly after clicking on a gym. That's the case since the update and worse since gyms are open. I'm level 38 but never had such a bad experience with this game. I'm losing motivation faster than any mon in a gym now.

Obviously Niantic hasn't done enough testing, especially in city areas with many gyms and people playing. How should a raid for a legendary work when hundreds of players are together? The buggiest wins? ;-) Niantic has to do his homework and should eleminate the RAM and CPU overflow and overheat. They gave out an update that isn't ready. Just to fullfill their promise "The summer will be legendary". Yes, the app is legendary bad now. Every update is worse than the last one. The ruin their game by themselve. I had much fun in the last months but now the gym part is nearly unplayable and the app is unstable. Raids are a waste of time, of raid passes, potions, revives and coins. Just to earn an error or a time out. It was too early to implement those half-ready features. Not to speak of the dayly changing rules of the game. It's chaaotic. Nobody knows exactly how to get coins in which amount, how to read the timer for a raid, how to paticipate in private groups or how to earn TMs. Look at the huge amount of questions here... Normally it would be Niantic's part to answer and give clear rules for their game.
btw. I can see 17 gyms from where I am. In 10 gyms are raids or eggs at the moment. Isn't this a bit too much?
My experience is the same as yours!
Terribly lagging, slow, defender's hp returning back (time keeps on going on, timing out).
I can't see the raid-boss attacks, let alone dodge.
It's totally frustrating. I'm level 37 and invested a lot in this game.
My phone also has 4gb ram, 2.3 Ghz CPU, but still has these serious problems.
Some friends manage to play 'normally' they say, no idea how...
