IGN Entertainment for Android
Honestly, the app sucks. Sometimes it loads comments, sometimes it doesn't, the comments I write can't be posted for some reason, loading videos crashes the app, the app forces you to choose your preferences when you log in and then forces MyFeed as default with no option to change that. It gives like 10% of the desktop experience.
It's convenient, but isn't really an upgrade over just browsing on your phone's web browser. Both have issues with slideshow articles. The app also has issues with the featured articles not always loading right
I think this app is a great way to catch up on what's up and out in gaming. The only minor drawback is that the is no way to access the articles as text reviews. Maybe i didn't find it but 4/5 for a news app that lacks a way to read the reviews at a more gradual pace.
Rubbish. Nothing loads. Jerkey interface. Not updated to contain a section for the Switch. For a tech news site is unbelievable that they haven't got their app game together.
Videos overlay the text for some reason which makes reading walkthroughs a pain as you end up missing details. May try installing again later but right now the website is way way better to use .
Shame the app doesnt work correctly. If you use the search bar once all results have been displayed it stops working. Please fix!
Can't sign in to account . Everytime you try to sign in threw Facebook or Yahoo it goes to a blank screen and only says skip at the bottom. IGN is good. But this IGN app sucks. This has been going on awhile now. When you guys gonna fix this sh**!!!
S8+ ... Freezes making it unable to scroll. No notfications. Cant reply to conversations. Ads play fine but your videos buffer. Not good, uninstalled.
Can't sign in properly without getting some bs error. For a bunch who review games and apps, you sure don't fix your own sh*t.
It's ok, the app is broken about 30%, can't see tntroduce to get Switch news, can't login with Facebook, can't register with a new account. Website is much better.
I love the app and its feed option, not to mention the incredible wiki guides. I do however have an issue with the memory it uses. It's causing my nearly empty Samsung Galaxy S8 to have major heating issues, draining my battery as soon as it boots up. Not sure if that's a RAM or memory issue, but maybe tinker with the code, happily give it a 5 star rating. I only have 8 apps on my new phone, this really shouldn't be an issue.
Ok app, even though it asks for the things you're interested in it's always full of stuff I don't care about. I really wish they would let me search IGN deals, all I can ever find in the app is years old articles.
When I first loaded the app after the most recent update, I thought I lost my data connection... that's how the new UI looks. It looks like a cached web page. The old version worked great for me, why change?
App crashes during use. All I was doing was scrolling through daily deals.
Great app for gaming information and videos but very annoying pictures and basic articles cant be viewed landscape mode. Also very irritated that all the slideshow lists never have any information written on them to explain why the images are even on the lists.
The only videos that stream properly are the advertisement everything else buffers. If ign plans to cram adverts down my throat I at least expect decent streaming. The news is not bad but the vid streaming issue pretty much makes me skip over all the vids
App is slow. Video playback works half the time. Using HTC M9
Do yourselves a favor and just Youtube any videos you wanna watch on Ign oh and just read their reviews via meta critic. DO NOT INSTALL! Whoever rated this more than 1 star are either fake and work for IGN or are 1 year olds that got ahold of their parents phones...I mean WTF YALL!? Using this broken, Ad bloated app makes me question the level of intelligence and overall level of commonsense of a company that is SUPPOSED to be all about gaming and tech. Ads on literally every single article. Wanna watch a quick 30 sec video of a clip? WRONG! It's really 1 minute and 15 seconds if you include the 45 second ads that permeate every single area. Can't log in, no matter what, broken links in every single wiki. Just trash. IGN should be ashamed and just shoot themselves for releasing this travesty of a hot steaming mess....
Update 3 .... went from 3 star to 4 star now 1 star ..... nothing works anymore can't logon so can't set what I want to see can't find upcoming.... xbox only .... all the stuff you need to be logged in for please fix and I'll do review 4
Slideshows don't show text like on pc version of the site. I saw it work once, but haven't gotten the app to do it again.
I love the content of this app, but it's constantly freezing and signing me out. In the last update, all of the slideshow articles just stopped working on my phone.
Would LOVE if this app worked offline and if some of the game Guides were a WEEK BIT more thorough but other than that this is a must have app. For gamers needing a Lil help on games
I love reading old reviews for some of my old childhood games. N64, GameCube, Playstation, ect... This app makes it extremely easy to find whatever you want.. Very dope
Not great... If I wanted to be swarmed by "top ten" lists I'd use YouTube.
Must watch an ad for every video. The ad loads perfectly but the video you actually want to see not so much. Happens over and over. I watch 30 second ad then the video won't load. Site content is amongst the best (if you can actually get the video to load)
It stays in a black screen after clicking sign in with Facebook. Before this is kept logging me out every now and then forcing me to reselect my preferences. I don't understand how these guys don't get their stuff together to do a decent mobile news app (quite the small feat nowadays)
It's a good app however....you can't watch videos very well. It constantly loads with high speed internet on the lowest setting. Oh but the ads play fine. At least they have that going for them.
Why isnt there a paid version? I'd spend a dollar to not have ads on every video. When you have ads longer than some videos, its time to stop.
It's not good quality, it's just a straight rip of the website. It even tells you to download the app and has the same ads!
Keep it up and improve the ui.Ui feels dark and uneasy.Make a light theme ui and change font style.The videos are playing good could load faster.I liked ur anime award for Erased in 2016.I hope u could put a separate tab for toprated games and animes separate tabs.And I know guys u could be better than Gamespot in gaming and Imdb in entertaining review.I want your own style should be flashy and light so everyuser can feel ease on operating,avoid too much if red and black.Metacritic reviews well I hope u got it.Thanks Ign waiting for your awards nominte fast for 2017
This app is full of bugs and extremely clunky. I had it all of 15 minutes before I came to the conclusion that it had to go.
Signing in has issues. Often I cant get signed in and participate in comments. Not a very good app at all.
App works okay, but not being able to log into app is a major issue.
Can't log in with social connections. Just goes to a blank screen.
Except the fact that if you're a dev/publisher then money can get you good scores on basically any game on IGN, the app is good.
On the main website they use deceptive practices to bring you here to download this app. For this reason and this alone is why I'm rating this 1 star.
Everytime I go to load a article, the app will crash every single time
Crashes Everytime i try to play a video Can only read articles now
After recent update, still can't login thru Facebook or yahoo. No login screen, just a black screen

Fix the videos. I watch the ad before your videos fine. Then when the video I wanted to watch comes on its just buffer time. Why does the ad play but not your video. Doesn't matter if it's on WiFi or 4g lte. I can put it on the lowest resolution and it still won't play. If I open IGN in the browser the videos play fine. Just please get on with it and fix the app. Signed Frustrated User.
