Any tips on gym battles? Just tap the opposing Pokémon as fast as possible while sometimes dodging attacks? I heard you hold down on enemy to use special ability?

When a swole bloke gets in your face, drop a 70 lbs dumbbell on his foot.
When he leans over to grab his foot, put one hand on the back of his head and knee him in the face.

Use a free standing barbell like a baton and beat the shit out of him while he recovers from a bloody/broken nose.

Yup use basic attack a lot, you can also dodge by swiping right/left

Also make sure you're using a Pokemon that counters whoever you fighting

Mine will freeze sometimes but after I close and reopen the app it works again.
