What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R1] IGN Entertainment 2/5 · US Just ok: This app is fine for articles and news, but if you want to comment on anything good luck, I’m logged into my account and every time I try to comment it asks me to log in again.
2. [R2] IGN Entertainment 5/5 · US Comments are basically broken: Every time you try to make a comment, or even like something, it’ll ask you to sign in… Even though you are already signed in. And then, if you try to sign in again and make the comment, it’ll ask you to sign in yet again… basically you could never make a comment unless delete app and uninstall it every damn day, sometimes multiple times a day. I’m done with it.
3. [R3] IGN Entertainment 3/5 · US Love IGN. Hate the app: Man oh man… I love IGN. I love the content. I love the hosts of all the shows and podcasts especially Beyond & NVC. Love the reviews, on sale sections, news, events. But boy is this app bad and keeps getting worse. It crashes all the time. I have to log in almost every day. The videos don’t play or play and then crash… 5 stars for IGN content/creators and 0 for the app
4. [R4] IGN Entertainment 1/5 · US Jwt Malformed: Been locked out for a year. Wouldn’t be terrible if I wasn’t constantly asked to login to a portal that doesn’t work.
5. [R10] IGN Entertainment 1/5 · US Major L: As a gamer and avid fan of IGN this app sucks! I’m constantly being logged out and the in app browser crashes every time. Also the “for you” section is useless really. I should be able to edit the pages to my liking I don’t want to see my “page” immediately I want the latest news.
6. [R27] IGN Entertainment 3/5 · GB App refresh is bugged: This is an update to a review I posted a while ago. Whilst the app has improved over time, there is a significant issue with the current version which I’ve noticed for a while - whilst scrolling through latest stories, the app will background refresh the list which completely reorders it and therefore loses your place in the timeline. This is really frustrating, and often st
7. [R30] IGN Entertainment 1/5 · US Terrible app: Genuinely one of the worst apps. Constantly logs you out, constantly crashes, you so much as look at an ad, away you go. Videos barely play half the time. Guides on the app, if they load, crash even more often making it impossible to actually use.
8. [R9] IGN Entertainment 3/5 · US Ads take over: It is annoying when video ads pop up without being clicked on, and I don’t understand why whatever audio I am listening to on my phone has to turn off from just opening the app. I don’t even try to watch/listen to anything on the ign app. It just turns off my music/podcast. It’s annoying.
9. [R12] IGN Entertainment 3/5 · US Good content marred by a poor app UX: I like IGN as a news source and the app used to be much better. Now it’s plagued with technical issues other reviews have mentioned. Ads that go full screen just by scrolling on/past them, no edge swipe to go back navigation, and a login feature that’s almost completely broken. Please fix these things IGN
10. [R14] IGN Entertainment 5/5 · US Stupid pop up: App is unusable as long as the new iPhone ad pops up every 30 seconds.
11. [R15] IGN Entertainment 3/5 · US Could be better: Love IGN and I’ve used the app for years. The ads can be pretty annoying. I understand they are the chief source of revenue, but sometimes (and idk if this is a glitch or purposeful) when you scroll past them, if you even just touch it, it opens the ad. It’s very annoying and feels buggy compared to other scrolling apps with ads like instagram. Also, when you are trying to find ar
12. [R6] IGN Entertainment 3/5 · US Missing out on some great features: I really like the IGN PC and mobile site. The app is severely lacking in quality features (including IGN playlist). I was hoping I would be able to access checklists and tasks on the app because the mobile site only works well 50% of the time and it’s obnoxious. PLEASE add guides checklists and maps to the app!!! They’re so helpful when you’re trying to find the
13. [R13] IGN Entertainment 1/5 · US Terrible: This app is awful and unfortunately is not designed to navigate games easily. It's just pushing content at you.
14. [R21] IGN Entertainment 3/5 · GB Bookmarking issues: When I hit the star to bookmark a review it wont let me..why?
15. [R23] IGN Entertainment 4/5 · GB PLEASE BRING SEARCH BACK: I love IGN and everything about it also the new design and look of the app but what is very strongly missing *SEARCH* I can‘t find my old Wiki Guides anymore… :/ And as there is no SEARCH there is no way for me to save them anymore - Please BRING IT BACK!
16. [R22] IGN Entertainment 1/5 · US GET RID OF THE “FOR YOU” PAGE. ITS AWFUL. Welcome to one of the most broken apps of all time.: I’ve followed IGN since the early aughts. I’m a plus member. The ign app is one of the first apps I open every day. Or rather it used to be. It’s utterly broken. I can’t comment. I can’t like. It tells me to sign in even though I’m signed in. People literally have created new accounts with usernames like
17. [R24] IGN Entertainment 3/5 · GB Solid app for the site but spoiled by engagement farming: Overall it’s a good app that does what it needs to, presents IGN articles. Could do with more feed customization but still a solid app. However 2 recent additions have made the overall experience worse. 1. “Face off” polls that are pinned to the top of every feed, regardless of relevance. 2. The auto play streams pinned to the top. This
18. [R41] IGN Entertainment 2/5 · US The “For You” section always shows stories that are several months old: Every time I open this app.. alls I see is stories and reviews from like 7 months ago because it defaults to “For You” which doesn’t seem to work at all.
19. [R44] IGN Entertainment 1/5 · US Kills music constantly: This app for the last couple years kills my music whenever I open it. Very annoying! I’d give it five stars but apparently the developers don’t listen to music since this hasn’t been fixed. Also you can’t swipe right to go back! If the next update doesn’t fix this constant issue then I’m deleting the app. 12/6/25
20. [R57] YouTube 5/5 · US Its just amazing: Its just amazing with all content and others its not just videos there could be games, editing, even other types like youtube tv and regular also even music on seperate apps
21. [R59] YouTube 4/5 · US Please fix shorts: I’ve been watching YouTube for years because I prefer the long-form content to instagram or TikTok. I fragrant and TikTok are very addictive and I find that the mindless scrolling takes over my life. I used YouTube instead but now that they added shorts they push almost exclusively shorts. When I open the app it’s automatically showing me shorts without me even tapping the video
22. [R61] YouTube 5/5 · US Too many Commercial: Enjoy my time on YouTube but too many ads ( I know that’s how they make money) still good stuff
23. [R63] YouTube 5/5 · US Best offering on internet!: Excellent offerings and so informative.
24. [R66] Spotify 5/5 · US Good: Great app
25. [R74] Spotify 5/5 · US So fun: It's literally the best I can listen to it any time!!!
26. [R76] Spotify 5/5 · US Great: Love this app over any other music apps will lots of skips on my playlist and almost no ads
27. [R92] TikTok 5/5 · US Love TikTok!: TikTok is fun and cool I get to make friends too! I get to chat with friends watch videos mostly like asmr cause it makes me sleepy and relaxed, and others I really recommend because I’ve Learned about a lot of tip and tricks
28. [R94] Shazam 5/5 · US Awesome lifesaver: Shazam is an app needed!!
29. [R97] Shazam 5/5 · US This app is perfect: I usually don’t write reviews but this app is honestly the most impressive app I’ve ever had. I was listening to my radio and I found a song I liked, so I used Shazam to figure out what the name of the song was. But the radio kept on making a static songs in the middle of the song and it still worked!
30. [R100] Shazam 5/5 · US Rules! !: I am a 64 year-old metal head and Shazam gets all the new metal tracks that comes out when I listen to XM…. absolutely love it love it love it.
31. [R105] Shazam 5/5 · US Keeps us current: Old songs, new songs, songs we forget who sang them, Shazam keeps us current. Thank you Shazam.
