Improvements
One of the best platforms
Great content
AWFUL App
The app is now 90% ads as it’s trying (and failing) to push new creators on you. It’s a complete nightmare to navigate.
All I want to do is see the content I PAY for. And even then the app is terrible. Goes to sleep when I’m watching a video in the native player, freezes in Picture in Picture…
I’m now looking for other third party options or to just stop bothering with Patreon all together.
Why Patreon?
This is changing my life
Terrible User Experience
Not every app needs to be a social media app.
Keeps charging me
Easier way to see ONLY your creators
Don’t really know how to use platform but want to.
Cannot log into mobile at all
Not the most blind friendly

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE USING THE APP.
I tried to subscribe to an author on patreon who charges $5.00 on the website, and the app told me it was $7.50. They will charge you an extra 33% on the app compared to the web. I've seen this on multiple creators.
I've got a whole list of complaints here but that's the worst offense. As for the rest of it:
The Home Screen is filled with creators I didn't sign up for. I don't care about them. I don't want to see them. It is infuriating to see them. The platform is not a social media company. Stop trying to show me ads.
When I got the "are you enjoying this app" popup and pressed "No", instead of being sent to a feedback or review page, I was sent to customer service. None of the options on that page were listed as review or feedback.
I sent my feedback about the home page there, and instead they replied talking about the quips feature.
I do not mind quips. That feature is not an issue. The issue is the lack of an option to make the membership feed the default or disable home feed. I open the app and am barraged by dozens of posts from creators I do not care about, do not subscribe to, and do not want to see.
The home feed opens automatically on opening the app and must be clicked away from. This cannot be done until it has already loaded and shown me things I do not want. I want to open the app and see the things I have subscribed to and paid for. I do not want to see posts or advertisements for things I do not like, did not subscribe to, did not pay for, and cannot disable.
Every single update recently has made the app less pleasant and more frustrating to use.
TLDR:
If you have the option, just use the web page. The app is now filled with ads for other creators that can't be disabled. If you need to use the app, make sure you don't subscribe using it, they'll gouge you an extra third of the price without ever telling you it's cheaper on the website.
Terrible app
I’m literally charging back my subscription costs and urging the creators I’m subscribed to to change platforms. I will never use this platform ever again.
