Good Luck Trying to Create an Account
Can’t even create an account without it freezing my phone. Absolutely garbage app. Incredibly disappointing for an app based off tech and gaming
Garbage App
IGN app has been garbage for some time. Frequent crashes, and does not even open anymore on Apple TV.
What is up with no landscape?
No landscape mode on iPad - horrible
This app is horrible
I recently started using this app over the past few months to read gaming news. READ. I never watch videos on it. And I don’t use it that much.
But this morning I woke up and it appears this app has been draining my mobile data to the tune of over 15GB. Now I have to pay $50.00 more on my data plan this month. That’s almost double my phone bill.
Absolutely ridiculous application. Uninstalled immediately and will never use this again.

This app could use improvement for voiceover users
I noticed that since updating to tvOS 16 that now IGN does not work at all. Whether voiceover is turned on or off. When loading the app, the app crashes. It tries to load but doesn’t. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled the app with no success. I have tried to get in contact with you twice on Twitter and both times I have been ignored. Wouldn’t you think that updating an iOS or tvOS would mean that you would have to update your app as well? What’s next? Do I need to get a hold of you on Facebook and bombard you there?

Will IGN ever be able to update the app and not create a new issue?
The answer is no. IGN updates their app to fix one issue and it always creates another. Whoever they have developing their app should find a new job since they obviously aren’t good at it.
Ads constantly popping up when you just try to scroll past them and it takes you to Safari. Keep getting asked to log in when I go to the comment section even through the app says I’m logged in when I look on the main screen. Downvote button is no longer there. Apparently you’re just supposed to only agree with other opinions now. IGN always making changes for the worse in regards to their app and community.

Years Later, No Improvement
Years later, this new app is still a huge backward step from the previous app and remains absolutely useless. Like the previous app, the game content on the website is all in one place and if I want to filter it by console, there it is—all content for that console in one place. In this new app, the “games” tab doesn’t include website parity. I then have to search for gameplay or trailers separately and, even then, trailers are all lumped together with TV, movies, etc. If filtering by console isn’t yet in the cards, GIVE US WEBSITE PARITY so all gaming news can at least be found in one place. I’ve gone back to using the website on my iPhone for years now waiting for these basic improvements.

Eats your data
I have an “unlimited” data plan. One day 1/2 into my billing cycle my 5G decided not to work. After calling in to troubleshoot the issue they informed me I was being throttled because I’ve used too much data. Impossible I told them, that’s not what I do…my wife, maybe but me…nope. I checked my usage info and saw that I used IGN almost for 50GBs. It continued to stream video in the background for days. The easy way to prevent this from happening is to toggle the refresh in the background switch in the app settings (iOS)…however out of every app on my phone IGN is one of only 4 apps that does not have this setting. Utterly ridiculous. Thank you IGN for having the worst designed app on my phone and screwing me over for the next 15 days. I hope I don’t get lost and need to use GPS to figure out where I am.

Battery issues
I have been a fan of this app for a long time, but recently I’ve been getting off of work and my phone will be completely dead, I used to have at least half of my battery left. Yesterday it happened again and I couldn’t get an Uber or Lyft home, waited for a bus for an hour only to find out the busses stop before 7pm and had to walk home in the rain. To say I was irritated would be a massive understatement. As soon as I got home I put my phone on the charger and when it turned on I went into settings and looked at my battery usage and it said that in the 6 hours since I used my phone last the IGN app had used 64% of my battery. I instantly deleted the app

Nothing against the company, all against the app
I’ve used this app for years now but it’s different than it once was. I can’t sign in to leave comments (no matter how many times I successfully sign in), I get kicked out from ads constantly without ever clicking on any (simply swiping over it when scrolling gets pops me out of the app to an ad), I’ve had some seriously messed up ads that were disturbing(only here, had one pop up back to back while scrolling that was just disgusting), and I’ve had multiple spoilers pop up in their captions that are supposedly spoiler free(guess this one’s actually on them, the rest are weird technical bugs that have ruined the experience for months now). Oh and the amount of ads has increased aggressively, making the issue where they pop you out even worse. I would’ve deleted it if I came up with a gaming news agency that I enjoyed at all.
