1. [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
2. [R21] IGN Entertainment 3/5 · US No wiki guides in app: It’d make a lot of sense to have the wiki guides for various games available in app - it is a real shame this isn’t supported.
3. [R35] 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!
4. [R66] Spotify 3/5 · US Plays same 20 songs: Have ver 1000 songs on my playlist so far and it keeps playing the same 20 songs over and over
5. [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.
6. [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
7. [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
8. [R64] Spotify 2/5 · US Too many ads: Spotify premium is way too expensive so I don’t have it but it’s so annoying how it says “30 mins of interrupted music” and it plays two songs and then 5 ads. It’s false advertising my songs typically last 3-4 mins so when two play it’ll only be like 6 or 8 mins and I’ll get 5 ads. It is so frustrating
9. [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.
10. [R31] 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.
11. [R40] IGN Entertainment 1/5 · US Atrocious Performance: This app is atrocious, and while they keep adding new tabs and ways for the algorithm to cater to your viewing preferences, it hasn’t fixed any of the fundamental issues the app has had for going on a decade now. Eventually, it can take 30 minutes since install of 2 weeks after the last install date, it will begin logging you out automatically whenever you change pages or
12. [R90] Spotify 3/5 · US Good, problems, increasing cost?: Good selection of music podcast and books, music has been very glitchy lately, increasing prices for a glitchy service…. Hope they figure it out :)
13. [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.
14. [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
15. [R73] Spotify 1/5 · US Price doesn’t make sense: as title states, what’s been innovated for the price increases over the year
16. [R34] IGN Entertainment 1/5 · US Bugged permanent ads!: They will never fix this. You will have ads permanently even if you pay to remove them like I did then the app will be malfunctioned and if you try to scroll, it’s gonna skip multiple pages and revert you back to the top because of you paid to remove the ads don’t give them any of your money you’ve been warned. I have suffered many years and there is no fix. I’ve contacted t
17. [R55] IGN Entertainment 2/5 · US The ads and videos overtake my feed & can’t sign in: This app for the most part is pretty good but when the ads in my feed start they immediately take over my screen and I can’t read anything. The app for some reason won’t let me sign in so I can’t comment on any post and I’ve tried reinstalling the app but that doesn’t fix it and it’s been like this for years; but there was one update where it wa
18. [R87] Spotify 3/5 · US Advertisements: I have used Spotify for some time, and I have always loved it. However, lately it seems as though the amount of ads has completely gone up. I can’t listen for more than 2 songs without an ad break, which is usually 3-4 30 second ads. In my car, I can’t listen to music like usual because of how many ads there are. Obviously the alternative is to pay for premium, but some people can’
19. [R93] Spotify 3/5 · US extreme work needed: no. the ads, why are there so many?! after every song?? delete that stupid recommended song feature, if i play harvey ten hours, i don’t want to listen to any other song except. harvey. delete that stupid recommendation song thing and the dumb ads, and if you really need the ads then put like 1-2 after every 5-6 songs, do everyone a favor and delete those features and maybe t
