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. [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
2. [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
3. [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.
4. [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.
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. [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.
7. [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.
8. [R20] IGN Entertainment 4/5 · US Great app, but no audio: Love IGN, it’s my go-to source for video game news. I check it multiple times a day; however, I almost exclusively use the website, even on my phone, because the audio doesn’t work for me in the app. All of the videos are silent. I can’t hear a thing.
9. [R26] IGN Entertainment 5/5 · US Great just one problem: I love the ign app for all the new and retro gaming news but after I start scrolling for a while the app's frame rate will noticeably drop and if I leave the app my phone will become unresponsive and I have to do a manual restart since I can't access the power
10. [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.
11. [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
12. [R14] IGN Entertainment 5/5 · US Stupid pop up: App is unusable as long as the new iPhone ad pops up every 30 seconds.
13. [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
14. [R28] IGN Entertainment 1/5 · US Can’t log in: Can’t log in, can’t interact with the comments and click on the polls they put in their articles. Basically only have the app for the news, but once I find another medium I’m done with this app. When I log in, it tells me to log in again and again, tried to update the app, tried to uninstall and reinstall and same issue. And the fact that this is going on for so long, shows IGN doesn
15. [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
16. [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
17. [R64] TikTok 1/5 · US This app is BS: This company will hide your comments 2 ways. It will either put them under “filtered comments” at the bottom, or make them disappear all together- no flag, no appeal, just gone. You will see the comment in your activity history but when you click to view it on the video, the comment is gone. They do not give you notifications of likes, will not notify you of replies to comments, wi
18. [R66] TikTok 3/5 · US Fix it pls: So many bad ppl on there and I reported but it kept saying “no violations found” like bro she told me to km$!? And it kept taking down my vids for no reason, like I was just showing off my hair..? Fix it pls.
19. [R69] TikTok 3/5 · US Live: Let people that are 13 over make live normal without banning them for no reason
20. [R70] TikTok 1/5 · US Good BUT GET RID OF BANNING THE PEOPLE UNDER 18: I WAS DOING GOOD WITH ONE GOAL GET FAMOUS BUT NO TIKTOK VOMES IN AND BANNED ME AND I LOST EVERYTING ON THAT ACCOUNT
21. [R65] TikTok 5/5 · US Something is wrong with my TikTok.: So, last night I had updated my TikTok right? And once I go into TikTok, the TikTok logo is suck for a while and then get kicked out. I’m not really sure if this my phone since it’s a iPhone 7. Can you fix my TikTok? There’s someone with that same issue I am having.
22. [R71] TikTok 5/5 · US Its good but a problem: Im on my iphone 7 and tiktok keeps crashing i do everything like delete tiktok then add it back, reset my phone but it doesnt let me and it makes me reslly mad
23. [R77] TikTok 4/5 · US 4.5: My phone will not even let me be on it
24. [R83] TikTok 4/5 · US WHY TIKTOK: I was scrolling then my TikTok bugged out I tried to open up the app again but it jus puts me on a black screen with the TikTok logo then it kicks me out of TikTok again I'm on an iPhone 7 that's probably why to be honest but still TikTok I NEEED U WORK AGAIN
