Age verification glitch
I was not paying close attention when I opened the app after the mid-August update and clicked “don’t share age”. There is no way to undo it. I redownload the app and it still locks me out. Ridiculous.
Oh, and the app support page is a dead link…

App No Longer Works
I used to access this content multiple times a day. I clicked the wrong button and now the app won’t let me in. Uninstalled multiple times and still can’t access. Terrible design.
Age lock out pass…
Locked out by age restrictions I’m out!
Logging on issues
For some time now I have to completely delete the app and reinstall before it lets me log in. Otherwise I log in and try and make a comment and it repeatedly tells me I need to log in despite doing so several times already.
For You Section
The For You section does not update or show anything worthwhile. No option to get rid of it. Just a broken app as it stands.
Adult ads and misleading filtering
2 huge problems.
1 it has always been completely overrun with ads and affiliate link which are annoying. Recently however they have started introduced adult ads into the app and it’s completely unacceptable for an app primarily targeted at young adults and underage children.
2 I have always used filter by newest and it just doesn’t care. It still forces its algorithm based scroll which I can’t stand.

Needs work
Edit: why in the world does it only work in portrait mode?!! Not a bad app, but some aspects, such as ads that make a page unreadable, ruin it. And it's about time we had a dark mode too.
Edit w: downgraded as still no landscape feature!
Edit 3: it won't let me log in to comment on stories. Terrible app

Incompetent Gaming Negligence
This stupid app won't let me login with my password. It's incompetently designed and should be banned from the App Store.
It works until it doesn’t
I use the app quite a bit and would like to engage in comments more, but as another reviewer said, it asks me to log in again (even though I’m logged in) if I want to comment. It doesn’t always do this, but enough to be an annoyance and me change my review until it’s fixed. The “for you” section isn’t curated very well and the ratio of ad promotions and what not to actual articles is way out of balance. Love IGN and the IGN crew, but the app needs help.

Used to be my go-to for gaming news…
This app and company honestly just needs to die…. This used to be my go-to app for gaming news. I was on it every other day.
Now, I might jump on once every few months because it’s literally just 95% articles with zero substance about some actor who said something about something, and ads, ads, and more ads…. What a shame….
I can literally scroll on this app for 5 minutes straight before I see anything interesting…. Then if I want to comment on something, I can’t even login…. My guess is IGN got in their chest about people commenting on articles about how pointless they were.
This app these days is a sad and pathetic shell of what it used to be, and I honestly have no idea why it’s even still on my phone…

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.
Login
Kinda garbage app that logs you out all the time.
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.
Login is broken
App says I’m logged in. Try to add a comment and it asks me to sign in. Sign in fails silently.
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.
Terrible
This app is awful and unfortunately is not designed to navigate games easily. It's just pushing content at you.
can‘t comment
I log in but whenever I try to comment on sth I have to log in again - endless loop
Massive bug since many years
It‘s impossible to be logged in. I am logged into the app. But as soon as i want to comment the app ask me again to login. Then there are two outcomes: either it just loads but nothing happens or it accepts the login, just to ask me again to log into as soon as i try to comment. So it‘s impossible for me to comment or look at comment replies. The problem exists for YEARS now and nothing happens. So i will stop using ign and switch to another service. Way to go ign…
