A platform full of scams
BUYER BEWARE!!! do not trust this platform. They have no authority. People can go on there and claim they will create stuff, steal your money, and you will never see it again!!! this platform has no control over that. IF YOU VALUE YOUR MONEY, DO NOT GO TO THIS WEBSITE!!!
Better than Kickstarter in so many ways
Gamefound is what Kickstarter needed to evolve into.
Stretch pay is a Godsend for those of us who don’t have a spare $800 just lying around to put down in one lot on a game!
Having your pledge manager in one place - the same place where you pledged in fact - is also very comforting and it’s less stressful to remember where you have to go, to check your pledge and payments. It’s all in one place!!!
You can just comment regardless of whether you have pledged for a project or not.
Don’t get me wrong it’s not perfect.
I would really like to see the option to set and forget your initial pledge so you don’t have to worry about shipping costs or a shipping address or pledge managers later!!
That would make it perfect if they implemented that. And it would be easy to do as an opt-in checkbox to pledge this way.
The only other thing I would request is a more comprehensive search system, by date, your pledge, etc.

Constant Crashes
This app can’t go more than 5-6 minutes without crashing out and closing. Absolute junk.
App broken after working for a while
No longer loads
Unusable
The app refreshes every three minutes or so and sets you back to the start. I then have to re-scroll through a ton of games just to try and get back to where I was.

Nice idea but buggy
Love the idea of an app, but the implementation is pretty buggy. The worst is that it won’t go to the page presented by a phone notification if the app is already opened - it just comes up on whatever page it was already on.
Too Slow
Takes too long on initial launch before it shows anything, and too long after login before it gets to a functional state. The website is a much better experience.
Needs work
I eagerly waited for the Gamefound app and considering how long it took them I was definitely expecting a better conceived product.
Whenever I click on notifications for something the app just goes to a white screen and I have to close it, losing the ability to go to the notification I wanted to see bc obviously it disappears from notifications after you’ve clicked it.
There’s no ability to zoom
So good luck if a pledge has a graphics with small writing…
I have to relaunch the app every single time I try to go into after I’ve launched it once before as well.
Not off to a great start.

Inferior Experience
Downloaded the app to try it out and deleted almost immediately. Basic functionality, like zooming in to read tiny text in images, is not supported. For me, this makes it unusable. Will try again when they improve it.
Good
The app allows me to get notifications on my projects, but not much different than just using the website. Also, the iPad version doesn’t have a way to change language that I’ve found.
Great Initial App
This is for all the people who feel like giving the hard working app developer 1 star rating for an initial app release. Not sure why people feel the need to trash on an app when the developers are trying to make the experience better.
Why couldn’t zoom in?
Please make it could be zoom in.
Updates Page?
I’m hoping to see an updates page come to this app eventually so that I don’t have to click through each project to see the latest updates. It would be so nice to have all of the updates in one place like Kickstarter does.
Takes FOREVER to load any pages
And no the issues are not on my end. I have a strong Internet connection and everything else works fine it’s just this app. You need to optimize your queries or your connections or something.
Deleting for now. Browser works better

Just like the web app but loads 10x faster
Looks just like the web app but loads much faster can also set up notifications instead of receiving emails
Underwhelming
After years of waiting the TLDR is this: this took way too long and severely under delivered. There is nothing useful about it. It adds nothing to the experience of using Gamefound.
I’m glad to see they’re growing (maybe - more on that at the bottom) but I feel the latest updates are throwing way too much content at you with no ability to clearly filter, interpret or understand the content. The app, like the website, is a total mess. It used to be a clean user friendly experience but as a very enthusiastic early adopter and frequent user of Gamefound I’m very disappointed by what I’m seeing from them lately. The worst part is they seem to think these updates are good and giving users what they want which is even more concerning. Makes me wonder if the investment in the platform is worth it or if it’s time to start boycotting projects in hopes it gets the platform’s attention.

Just a website
The app seems to provide same user experience as the website. Save your time and simple save the website in your favourite toolbar
Just a repackaged webpage
I’m thrilled that GF decided to bring an app to iPhone, but this first attempt leaves a lot to be desired. The app looks just like the mobile webpage.
I really had hoped for a better layout and easier navigation. Plus a dedicated place for messages, update activity, and settings.
Looking forward to future updates though. GF is way better than KS.
