Lesefluss

Ich finde die App ist gut strukturiert aber… leider hat man bei der App Version keinen Button um weiter zu lesen sondern muss immer zurück auf alles Posts das ist schade.

Improvements

Having the ability to do Picture in Picture and having the ability to cast or airplay episodes to your tv to watch would be great especially since having pateron is a paid platform

One of the best platforms

I love it ! Is easy to use. And you can use it while the phone is blocked which makes it easier for when I am commuting for work

Great content

Great way to support the arts

AWFUL App

Terrible.

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?

100% purely because of "Nephilim Death Squad" I downloaded the Patreon app. Because of them, I spend money every month for a subscription fee. Thanks Patreon.. for providing a platform for me to enjoy my favorite podcast commercial free.. much appreciated

This is changing my life

I’ve been a tremendous physical and emotional battle over four years and the Lord used this platform as a tool to take the scales off my eyes and reveal where HE is now. In me! I feel the current power of the Spirit and He is teaching me through you to tune into that. By focusing on His power flowing inside me, my focus is off the pain, imbalance and fear. I am daily being completely restored physically and emotionally! Hallelujah. My hope isn’t my healing it’s my Savior. Praise HIM!

Terrible User Experience

The ui in this app is trash. The app locks the video resolution @ 720p and the app makes it an arduous task just locate older videos and content. I can’t wait until creators start using better apps to monetize their content because Patreon has no incentive to improve their app for a better user experience.

Not every app needs to be a social media app.

Love the content access but needs to be more user friendly and as stated you don’t need to put the social media features that drive attention grabbing. I don’t need suggested content.

Keeps charging me

Do NOT use your CC. I’ve cancelled my subscriptions, and deleted who I follow. They still charge me monthly, and won’t stop. They told me to contact the creators to get money back. They won’t let me delete my account without a credit card.

Easier way to see ONLY your creators

I wanted to see my creators by defaulting to Memberships. Instead the app shows me a bunch of nonsense creators I have no interest in. Easy fix, users - delete this app, open website in Safari, save as a web app. Opens in Memberships as wanted.

Don’t really know how to use platform but want to.

Enjoyed!

Cannot log into mobile at all

I keep resetting my password and I am inputting the exact same passwords, character for character, into the app to login and the literal same password I JUST reset isn’t working. I’ve done it like four times now. Unfortunately with the app being unusable I will have to delete the app and unsubscribe from my channels.

Not the most blind friendly

Navigation is kind of trash here. Not the most accessible, if using voiceover on Apple . I am blind and none of my router options work in this app. Kind of blows. Like Temu…

Dreadful

Horrible experience within the app - impossible to sort and view only
what you’re subscribed to. Designed by idiots

clips IS LIT

This app is incredible ..... JEVIN U ROCK

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE USING THE APP.

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE USING THE APP. THEY CHARGE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE MONEY ON THIS APP THAN THE WEBSITE. USE THE WEBSITE INSTEAD.
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

For some reason recently I keep getting signed out of the app, and now I can’t even view non-nsfw posts because it’s asking if I am 18+. Years of having the account, never had this issue before. I sign in online and it doesn’t even give me an option to say yes I’m 18. The kicker? I can view the same posts just fine online.

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.

Junk app

Every time I finish an episode it just doesn’t auto play the next episode and then I have to restart the app because it just sits there buffering even while I’m at home. So your app sucks
