Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: IGN Entertainment at 4.4 against A24's 3.6. IGN Entertainment also leads on ratings volume (20K vs 206) and review sentiment (44% vs 22%). A24's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IGN Entertainment sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and A24 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

IGN Entertainment holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IGN Entertainment has 20K ratings behind it against 206, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of IGN Entertainment's written reviews are positive against 22% of A24's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

IGN Entertainment ships an update every 9 days, A24 every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
