### 2/5 — The bots have taken over

*2026-06-21, version 8.21.4*

I enjoyed this app for many years, however these days it’s become too difficult to find actual funny memes in between bots promoting propaganda and stealth marketing.

### 3/5 — Commenting Pic = Crash

*2026-05-24, version 8.21.4*

When posting an image is the comments of another’s post the app closes.

### 2/5 — SO MANY BUGS

*2026-05-01, version 8.21.4*

I have been a loyal user of this app for over 10 years, but the bugs see getting ridiculous. A new update every two days to fix bugs and create new ones. Get it together, dev team.

### 5/5 — :)

*2026-04-17, version 8.21.0*

reddit = antifa/left propaganda 
imgur = trans/left propaganda 
9gag = finally we can say whatever we want and joke about everything! no snowflakes

### 4/5 — Not quite a 5 because…

*2026-04-13, version 8.21.0*

It thinks you’re all caught up when you’re not. If you leave the app it’ll refresh and you’ll see a whole new lot of posts, which is great but I wanna doom scroll for as long as I want

### 2/5 — Great Site, Terrible App

*2026-04-04, version 8.20.4*

Can’t open comments
Heats phone like crazy
Videos struggle to play

Use website

### 5/5 — 😎

*2026-04-01, version 8.20.4*

👌🏼

### 1/5 — Links opening by itself

*2026-03-31, version 8.20.4*

I know this is the only way to get to you, so here goes. A lot of the times when I scroll over any ad, it is opening by itself in my browser. This bug is there for a few months now. I’m not clicking anything, it’s enough to scroll quickly to another post, and it will open

### 1/5 — Hay más ads que memes

*2026-03-28, version 8.20.4*

Está mierda tiene tanto ad que se congela

### 4/5 — Reminder

*2026-03-28, version 8.20.4*

Hat-🥂

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Listens to your microphone even if you have it turned off in privacy

*2026-08-16, version 8.23.2*

This use to be a great app full of memes. Now it is like any other social media platform. Screenshots from twitter, shadow bans for speaking out against communist china or any leftist wing ideology, outright bans for no reason,… not to mention the INSANE amount of privacy breaches. It tracks you across apps, listens in on your microphone, and tracks your location even if you have them all blocked on your phone settings. This company is located in Hong Kong and unfortunately now controlled by communist china. A lot of the privacy issue started once the CCP took control.

### 1/5 — Not worth getting back to

*2026-08-15, version 8.23.2*

I used to have 9gag and thought to download it again. You get blasted with so many ads, it’s a garbage app now

### 1/5 — Memory Destroyer

*2026-07-03, version 8.21.4*

Absolutely gobbles every bit of memory until phone becomes unresponsive and always has. Nobody cares. Constant force kills to use.

### 1/5 — Clunky, barely works

*2026-06-25, version 8.21.4*

App freezes. Loses sound. Videos don’t play.

But the ads always work

### 1/5 — Bots bots bots bots

*2026-06-06, version 8.21.4*

They lost so many users with their overly sensitive censorship, they’ve flooded the site with their own bots pretending to be users. Lame chinese propaganda site now.

### 1/5 — Ads directly to App Store suck

*2026-05-29, version 8.21.4*

I used to love this app, but the ease at which the AppStore opens with normal scrolling over ads is infuriating.

### 1/5 — Full of propaganda and bots

*2026-05-29, version 8.21.4*

Please regulate propaganda bots i want memes and fun not this political propaganda i do not want these

### 1/5 — Censored garbage

*2026-05-04, version 8.21.4*

No freedom of speech cause it’s a Chinese ran platform.

### 1/5 — Videos don’t load

*2026-04-22, version 8.21.0*

All I get is the spinning arrow.  Videos never play.

### 1/5 — No freedom of speech

*2026-04-21, version 8.21.0*

They will shadow ban and block your entire account if the great China dosent like your post.

### 5/5 — Gagtastic!!

*2026-08-19, version 8.23.2*

Words cannot express how I have been entertained over the years with 9Gag. I have learned, laughed, laughed harder, supported others. This is a Gagtastic community.

### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2026-08-09, version 8.22.8*

Fuente, confiable y preciosa, de los mejores memes de la Internet, no tan sólo te ríes si no te educas e informan y siempre tienen un jodío, vacilón hermoso

### 5/5 — Enjoy

Fun for the whole family

17 pro sound gone after a bit of scrolling

### 5/5 — Shrillen

### 5/5 — 9gag

*2026-06-11, version 8.21.4*

best meme and news app in the world. u will find things here that aren’t available anywhere else 
is potato is good
and make sure u put a banana for scale on long posts

### 5/5 — I don’t have social media…..

*2026-06-05, version 8.21.4*

I don’t have any social media, but I love 9GAG ❤️ it fills the “void” and much less addicting than anything else.

### 5/5 — THE Best

*2026-05-31, version 8.21.4*

Best app ever for break time entertainment

### 5/5 — So nice

*2026-04-24, version 8.21.0*

A great app to use

### 5/5 — Great on Android

*2026-04-18, version 8.21.0*

Iphone version doesn't display new posts. Like many apps better on Android. When downloading a video or picture no-one knows where it is because of the ridiculous iphone filing system. Also being Apple just jumps into Amazon ad for no frigging reason!
