Gone down the drain
This app, called iFunny, not “iReligion” “iMisogyny” or “iRacism”. Is probably one of the most toxic places on the internet. Even scrolling through the featured section, where you would think there is some form of control since they themself feature the memes. But even the features are filled with bible quotes, no joke just a quote. Misogynistic jokes that honestly aren’t jokes, it’s like that dude at a party who decides it’s a joke after he says it and everyone gives him a look. The racism is slightly more controlled but take a look through the comment section of plenty of features and you’ll find people saying the scummiest, most foul stuff. Stuff that would have their face have a nice meeting with concrete should they ever say it aloud in public. I’ve had this app for years, the only reason I still have it is because there are still those gems in a dirt and some creators who I follow that have good, funny content. There is a difference between freedom of speech and the sewage that the people on this app spew forth.

Toxic people, worsening app design
Had this app since 2014
The people on here are around 12-14 YO guys, so quite edgy and boring.
The app itself is a sensor fest, targeting words that have been spam reported so that clean replies just get deleted.
It makes sense as this application is dying, barely even reaching 50k likes and having an add on every-other post

Ifunny is great buttt
Ive used ifunny for years but after a while you relies your just on there to avoid life or even just social media your on there subconsciously just hoping for something to make you breath through your nose a little because nothing else can but after a while your just liking posts from 6,7 years ago from a guy who got off a long time ago or has been on for over 5000 days I know meme community’s look down on ifunny because it’s about as basic as just finding funny pictures can be but that’s what I love about the simplistic idea of it. Reddit is kinda complicated to a normie like me, tags groups with tags can’t find anything or people I actually relate to but everyone and I mean everyone on ifunny relates to the facts that we have nothing better to do than swipe and feel nothing and we all appreciate and look down on eachother which might sound bad till you realize it’s negative reinforcement like f that guy gonna do 10x better kinda like fat shaming it works but is harsh weird you read all this if you did

The Ads!!
Oh my god! I’ve reported the ads for automatically playing sound countless times. It stops my music, podcasts or videos. It completely ruins my enjoyment when I have to stop looking at memes to report these ads. If this continues I will uninstall the app and share my negative experience with others.

Bruh what?!
Fix your app this was my childhood at the time. I had an account which I posted memes on and now it’s all gone :(
How do you have ads on the app and not any content? LOL you guys corrupt af, fix up.

Big Issues
Before criticizing, I want to preface by saying that I enjoy the app, and it’s one of the best for keeping up with trending memes. With that out of the way, for awhile now (months), the absurd number of features have been difficult to keep up with. I may be cynical, but I think the reasoning is that the more time people spend on the app, the more advertisements they’ll see, and generate more revenue for the devs. The other issue is the nasty undercurrent of alt-right users. This has been prevalent since the 2016 election, and I feel the main reason for why many people have left the app since then.
2021 update: the ads have supposedly gotten worse, however some users like me have Lockdown or Blokada to block this nonsense. Without it, many users report their phone battery drains and overheats from the amount of ad trackers. On top of that, features are being pumped out by algorithms at an even faster rate, which is impossible to keep up with and causes the community to be spread thin. Many like myself demand this to be less, preferably when it was around only a few sets of 20 a day. If no changes are made soon, your userbase is going to decline fast.

Good app, poor function.
I have been on the app for a very long time, a few thousand days with an account and without. The advertisement increases recently are not exactly pleasant, especially the comments ones. They ruin the app immersion.
I enjoy the features and collective, but there is and issue.
Collective is supposed to be many thousands of memes that could be features eventually.
The frequency of the features needs to be reduced, maybe not the old 40 to 60 a day. But something near 100 memes, these help set the daily culture and general culture of the app. Please help me relate to others over a common set of features, what I mean is that people are no longer seeing the same memes at relatively the same time.
I do not have time to look through multiple hundreds of memes each day. If I have extra time or need more memes there is collective to look through.

This is dumb!
Up until just a few months ago IFunny was doing fine! You would only get an ad after about every ten features. I could deal with that. After their last update however, IFunny began to put ads in the comments and made them pop up more frequently while scrolling through content. You will get two, three ads in a row before seeing the next four posts. It’s getting ridiculous! This morning when I opened IFunny, I was very upset over the newest update though. They are finally making me no longer want to have this app at all. You no longer swipe to the left to look at the next post, but instead they have made it to where you must scroll down though the features and posts like instagram… No more pausing videos when swiping the post halfway across your screen, no more swiping up to look at comments, only more stuggling to look through ads to see a comment. Smh

Just stop.
I have had iFunny since the beginning, and up until recently their updates have been largely positive. I tolerated the ads understanding full well that bills need to be paid, etc. The new vertical scrolling is where I draw the line. There isn’t a single positive that I can say about the newest format. With the new format, I am viewing up to 3 memes/ads at a time, not fully sure where to stop my scroll lest the next video in line start playing. AND IF I manage to stop scrolling at the appropriate interval, I’m now distracted with the previous and upcoming features in the same frame with no way to single out the meme I’m looking at or zoom in should I need to. Not to mention the fact that if I accidentally touch the top of my screen, the entire session starts back at the top as if I’m on Facebook, etc. The old way was perfect. Double tap to like (now it’s a triple tap because the first tap simply pauses the video which I never asked for), scroll up for comments (now I scroll up and end up 10 memes down), scroll left from comments to see the next meme (does nothing now), etc. It’s bad, and literally has no benefits. No one likes this. Change it back or at least give us an option, because honestly this is ridiculous.
