My two complaints

It often logs you out like once to twice a week for no reason.
And you are just scrolling and without even clicking and ad you are pulled away from the app to a ad page and it does this often and you can’t avoid it without paying into their subscription. I don’t mind seeing the ads (
Mostly) but when it just takes away to a new pages. It just makes me want to delete the app.

Oh IGN Goodbye

After the most recent layoffs at IGN, the fact that this app never got up to the level of its previous iteration, and the recent need to “sign in” to stop auto video play (not to mention that when you sign in it’s “curated content, and not most recent)… I’ve decided to say goodbye.

Ads pop up by themselves

Not only do the ads pop up by themselves by just scrolling down, and no, I’m not accidentally hitting them, but the app is riddled with ads. I get that it’s a free but do they need to be so shady as to push ads on you and pretend it’s an accident?

Unable to login anymore

Says I need to show my age in order to use it. Provides zero options. Do they prefer I just never use it again?

Horrible navigation

How does an app in 2026 not have swipe to go back…

App is trash

App signs me out constantly, my “for you” page is dated and never updates. And all they do is post spoilers.

Still can’t get into app

Just tried to look at the review of the Witcher 3 Remastered from google feed & it still would not let me onto the app.
Please fix or I’m deleting app FOREVER

Great, but needs technical improvements

I’ve been a fan of IGN for years and use the IGN app daily. What annoys me the most about the app is the technical issues that it has had for a while now. Every so often, the app says you need to log in unexpectedly. Once you do, it doesn’t recognize the login and asks to log in again. This goes on for 3-5 times before the app actually recognizes your login. Another issue that is really annoying is the comment section. If you want to comment, you have to logged in to your account. As a daily user, I always am. However, when trying to comment, it tells you to login in again. I do, but the comment section doesn’t recognize the login and you go on forever and ever trying to login in to comment until you stop because you notice it’s futile and a waste of time. I’ve been waiting for an app update to fix these bugs, but I’ll be 50 by the time they ever get around to fixing the technical issues the app has.

Trash ads everywhere

They have a thing now that forces you to watch an ad even if you are just reading now it’s crazy.

Enter Age of Suffer the Consequences forevvvvver

WTH? App suddenly asks for my age, I opt out, and it won’t let me in. Okay, I’ll restart the app and give them my age. Nope. No option to reenter my age. Still locked out. Ok, I’ll delete the app, redownload it, and give them my age. Nope. Still locked out. Give me the option to enter my age again, morons!

Age verification

IGN- “Please input age.”
Me- “No”
IGN - “Access denied.”
Me- “oh shoot. Let me put in my age now.”
IGN- “Access denied.”

Essentially a ban because I didn’t realize I had to put in my age and no way to fix it. Terrible design.

I love IGN, but this app is so buggy.

I love IGN and all the podcasters. I’ve been visiting the site since the 90’s. This app is so buggy. I’m an IGN Plus subscriber and the app logs me out all the time. It doesn’t let me make comments either. The for you page is worthless as well. And I want to use the app logged in because I pay to support the work of IGN and remove ads. When the app gets fixed, I’ll change my rating to a higher score. The 2nd star is because I love IGN. Otherwise it would be 1 star.

Age Verification - FAIL

Same age verification issue as everyone else. App goes in the trash bin.

AI over features

I don’t need an AI button front and center. I need a bell icon to tap and see if I have any activity on my account. Honestly, it makes me so sad that in an industry being destroyed by AI their company is leveraging the very tool of their own destruction. Ditch the AI. It’s gross.

Age lock

App is locked due to age restriction even tho I’m 26 , I deleted it and reinstalled it same issue.

Age Lock

This is just a horrible update. No way to fix it. No web resource or option in the app to turn on age verification.

Age verification issue

I had mistakenly declined the age verification and am now locked out of the app completely. Even uninstalling and reinstalling app doesn’t give you a chance to correct. Very poor user experience!

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!
