Unfortunately, within a month, every other meme seemed to be politically based. Too many to just ignore. ### 1/5 — Alas *2026-07-19, version 2026.03.02* Randomly kicks you out of galleries with no notice. Riddled with ads with every swipe in any direction. I miss the olden times before the A.I. garbage assimilated the people running this app; it’s sad, really. ### 1/5 — No *2026-07-18, version 2026.03.02* I don’t want to download your app. Can’t even view a picture without the pop up blocking everything ### 1/5 — Bloated *2026-07-05, version 2026.03.02* Ai slop ### 1/5 — Forced to use this on mobile now? *2026-07-05, version 2026.03.02* I’m only here because Imgur is no longer letting me browse on my mobile phone’s web browser anymore. Now I HAVE to use this stupid broken app or not use Imgur anymore? Okay byyyeee! ### 1/5 — Can’t upload anything anymore. *2026-06-28, version 2026.03.02* It either says “Cannot parse response” or “Imgur over capacity” or something, even though I already deleted a bunch of stuff already. Please fix this, this was my main image sharing app. EDIT: This is STILL HAPPENING a year later. I may as well go find another image hosting app. Please fix this already. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-06-27, version 2026.03.02* I should be able to open specific posts from their links on other platforms, but I can’t. It always just opens the app without opening the post itself. ### 1/5 — The single worst mobile application I’ve ever used *2026-06-25, version 2026.03.02* Literally just zooming in completely breaks it. Actually terrible. ### 1/5 — Echo Chamber *2026-06-17, version 2026.03.02* The user base is cooked. Zero stars. Terrible memes. Used to be a fun app. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-06-16, version 2026.03.02* I want 2005 Imgur back where people were shamed for posting selfies outside of Saturday. Dumbest content now. Idiocracy is in full swing. ### 1/5 — How Far Imgur’s Fallen *2026-05-12, version 2026.03.02* Whatever the reason was for nuking their former moderation team/system, it wasn’t a great business decision. I don’t think they HAVE a moderation system anymore. They’re either supporting or complacent with hateful, bigoted content and transphobic spambots, and regardless of support or indifference, their inaction is evident. ### 1/5 — Hijacks links, making it impossible to view embedded content *2026-05-12, version 2026.03.02* Good luck watching anything embedded in a forum post, for example, because if you tap it the Imgur app just opens on the Home Screen and shows you nothing. Installing this app actually makes it harder to interact with the platform the app is even *for*. Unbelievable ### 1/5 — Battery Drain *2026-05-10, version 2026.03.02* This app drains battery more than any other app on my phone. PLEASE fix this, unusable app to the point where I'd say they need a class action for the damage it causes to your battery. ### 1/5 — Stop *2026-05-01, version 2026.03.02* Stop showing ads forced on me ### 1/5 — So long *2026-04-23, version 2026.03.02* Well it was a fun run. But Imgur has decided to ruin itself like Tumblr. RIP them and their profits after May 15th. It’s been a few years and yep Imgur is still dead and abandoned for other platforms. App is a mess I imagine it’ll become Pinterest in a few years before the execs sell to line their pockets and cut their loses ### 1/5 — The giant unmovable Facebook ad kind of ruins it *2026-04-08, version 2026.03.02* The giant unmovable Facebook ad kind of ruins it ### 2/5 — Please fix the app for Ipad! *2026-03-06, version 2025.12.01* I love imgur but the app is an almost poor experience on an ipad. Please support both iphone and ipad formats! ### 1/5 — Unacceptably terrible. *2026-03-05, version 2025.12.01* The Imgur app does not allow you to move images between posts or albums. If you upload an image, you are apparently expected to have foreseen all possibilities that would involve changing which grouping it’s in. There is no “add to post” or “move to post” options AT ALL. If you later decide you want those images grouped together, the only option is to DOWNLOAD AND REUPLOAD every single image. Over. And over. And over. I should never, ever have to meticulously click → save → click → delete → repeat for OVER A HUNDRED IMAGES just because I want to organize them into one album. That is a completely basic photo management feature that every platform should have. This system is deplorable. I cannot even get a direct image URL from the “Get Direct Image URL” button. It doesn’t even resolve to the damn image. I have to open in a browser just to fetch the URL. 1 app, 40 open tabs from getting direct links, and 100 images to manually download delete and reupload… No, I don’t think so. I’m going to go use Flickr. Don’t waste your time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why *2026-09-08, version 2026.03.02* What's the point of forcing me to download the app in order to view an image when it doesn't even redirect me to the image after taking me to the app ### 1/5 — No *2026-08-28, version 2026.03.02* Wanted a place to get trending memes and funny memes to bond more with my meme driven brother. This app is nothing but an incel liberal eco chamber ### 1/5 — Web browsing is repeatedly worsened *2026-08-13, version 2026.03.02* Clicking imgur links in Reddit has been awful for some time now - from the “please turn off your ad blocker” pop-up (I’m on vanilla IOS, I don’t have an ad blocker) to randomly jumping to another post when trying to zoom in on a picture. Now today when clicking a link a new unclosable pop-up comes up asking you to download the app which I already had downloaded, but I’m not going to open the app to look at a single linked picture. Imgur was the GOAT for years, it’s sad to see where it’s gone. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-08-12, version 2026.03.02* Used app before: worked fine Just now tried: nothing ### 1/5 — Predator *2026-08-10, version 2026.03.02* Unable to read anything on their website because they want me to download their stupid app and get ad revenue from me. Will be deleting after reading my X-men infographic and I will be refraining from clicking any Imgur links again ### 1/5 — Stop pushing the app *2026-08-01, version 2026.03.02* When browsing the mobile web version, if you click to view a post, the website will frequently throw up a pop up that says “download the app upvote the most awesome posts sign in to vote.” And renders the site completely unusable. You cannot make this pop up go away. The only way to get rid of it is to refresh the site, or go back a step. Stop pushing the damn app. ### 1/5 — No, i will not download your app *2026-07-29, version 2026.03.02* Enjoy your downvote ### 1/5 — Delete the pop up ads or die *2026-07-25, version 2026.03.02* The pop up ads need to go or I do. Bye. ### 1/5 — Every minute a full screen ad appears, can NEVER upload in this app, glitchy after like 10 minutes *2026-07-25, version 2026.03.02* Every minute a full screen ad appears, can NEVER upload in this app, glitchy after like 10 minutes ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-07-23, version 2026.03.02* Ads pop up over the media you’re engaging with. I deleted the app because the ad annoyance now outweighs the content enjoyment. Farewell after more than a decade… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best app with the best people *2026-05-10, version 2026.03.02* I opened Imgur for 30 seconds and woke up in a different timeline with emotional attachment to a frog in a tiny hat and a guy who built a trebuchet for no reason. This place is pure internet brain fuel. It’s memes, chaos, wholesome nonsense, and sudden life advice hitting you like a truck at 2am. You laugh, you question everything, you keep scrolling like it owes you money. I don’t trust anyone who says they can “just check Imgur real quick.” That’s a lie. Time doesn’t exist there. I went in with responsibilities and came out with vibes. ### 5/5 — Ok app *2026-03-26, version 2026.03.02* Still has issues with weird censorship and questionable ads, but still my go to for memes. Only wish notifications had an unread select option ### 5/5 — They stream games *2025-09-20* I really like playing this game. I love it a lot. I spent a lot of money, but I did not get all my dice that I paid for by the time. I realized everything I could not take a screenshot. It was the day that I bought this month for 1799 I believe One I got the box and then the two free gifts. The first one didn’t go through the first. So I re-purchased it the second time it went through later on, but I just got the box. I didn’t get my free treasure chest dice picks, and everything else. I had contact you at a time, but you didn’t get back to me finally you sent me a dream support and I couldn’t even find the dates I have to go back to my bank statement to find the dates. ### 5/5 — Good app *2025-07-03, version 2025.07.0* I’m not sure why all the bad reviews. I’ve been using the app and it works great for me. I intend to keep using Imgur. ### 5/5 — не загружается ничего *2025-06-09, version 2025.07.0* приложение стало ужасно! ничего не загрузить! пишет сервер не определил что за видео!!!!! исправьте это!! ### 5/5 — Sweet escape *2025-03-13, version 2025.02.0* Squirrels, science, clumsy people. It’s always something. ### 5/5 — Your best source of chuckles & memes *2025-01-23, version 2025.01.0* Be the star of your friend group! Post the latest memes and the funniest clips & toons they’ve never seen before! A fun app with fun content. ### 5/5 — Fine yes you’re great *2024-11-19, version 2024.13.0* Now let me get back to scrolling we hates it when we can see the scrolls ### 5/5 — It’s a great app *2024-04-18, version 2024.03.0* Imgur is the best app I have ever seen and it has so many features just mind blowing.I just inform my friend about Imgur and he also happy with it. ### 5/5 — 5/7 *2023-09-30, version 2023.17.0* The best social network, imgur (Image-er) is a warm and fuzzy place that is supportive, silly, serious fascinating.
