Description

Hi, we’re Patreon. We believe people who make things should get paid for the value they give to the world.
Patreon is a membership platform that makes it easy for artists and creators to get paid. Fans pay creators-of-all-kinds a subscription amount of their choice in exchange for exclusive experiences and behind-the-scenes content. Creators get a meaningful revenue stream and fans get closer to the creators they love most. We think that’s the definition of a win-win.
Patreon’s iPhone app brings creators and fans together like never before.
FANS & PATRONS

Neil Oliver - A Treasure to Patreon and all his subscribers!

Neil Oliver is an absolute treasure. I have only subscribed to one creator, and it is Neil. I have zero regrets and will continue to be subscribed for as long as Neil continues his magnificent work. He is a gem not to be undervalued.

Audio file player is clunky as hell

I love being able to support creators and all that but there is just a lot of clunky nonsense going on here, particularly with downloaded audio. It used to be fine, there was a section where you could see all the audio files you had downloaded, but that’s no more. Now I have to scroll past all the files I’ve not got downloaded to get to one from way back that’s still on my phone. Also sometimes the player will just not play, despite it being downloaded. Also, a lot of the time if I listen to a long podcast audio file and stop part way through, then come back later, it won’t remember where I was up to, it will be back at a previous point where I had stopped listening but not the part I was up to. This seriously needs to be fixed, I want to be able to listen to the exclusive podcasts I PAID FOR with a UI that’s less clunky than the free default podcasts app

Charge you twice and do not refund. Be careful with giving your payment details to this platform.

Beware because this platform will charge you for a monthly subscription twice in less then two weeks! After they will justify it as they have actually have it in t’s and c’s and will not consider a refund.
Not nice.
Even if you are not happy with the creator that you have unlocked, nobody cares. They just want your money twice a month…

Difficult to Navagate

I find the app near impossible to navagate. I can’t find any of the material promised to my by the artists that I am supporting.
Also, ever time I open the app it asks me to become a member. I am a fully paid up member damnit, so stop asking.

Text to speech is buggered

If you use the spoken content app in accessibility’s in settings to do a makeshift audiobook, if you stuff up and want to re hear a paragraph or something and try to do it half way through. It starts all the way at the start again. That’s why I use the website 99% of the time.

Amateur app design

As a person who listens to exclusive podcasts on Patreon, the app is unbelievably underdeveloped. A basic search function for posts specific to that podcast is desperately needed. Currently the search box uses all of Patreon. Very disappointing user experience.

Awful

There’s great content on here but one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. So many glitches, like the search function wouldn’t work, I got overcharged for some items, audios wouldn’t play, etc. Extremely disappointing as I am here for the creators and the app has made them inaccessible

One of my favourites

There are plenty of good podcasts out there but if you play or write music you could very well love this podcast.
It’s my current number 1 in my top 5 podcasts. My others are Compleatly Beatles, Industrial Revolutions, The Nutritional Farmer and Behind the Song.
Strong Songs is a musical explanation of songs and Behind the Song provides the context and background of a song. Very different podcasts but they compliment each other well

Garbage bin is missing so I can’t delete old episodes

About mid April 2022 they updated the app but hid the garbage bin so you can’t delete old episodes. So the app is hopeless. Patreon know about it but keep sending out weekly updates which still don’t have a garbage bin which is really annoying. Just reinstate the app from mid April it really isn’t that hard.

Suddenly busted

Been using this app for years and it was ok, suddenly buttons for fast forwarding and rewinding aren’t working, I can’t delete files from my “recently played” and audio files aren’t remembering at which point I paused so I have to scrub through to find my place again (which is especially annoying due to the aforementioned issue with the buttons)

Crashes when I need it not to

I try to keep up with those I support, so from the news feed, I select the artist name, the posts tab appears with the spinning circle of data retrieval, then the App crashes/kicks me out.
This is for both my iPhone & iPad. My primary sources for Patreon as I don’t have a laptop.
If this is fixed, it’s a 5/5 app.

Concept great, app is not

I love being able to support my creatives though Patreon only the app is fairly glitchy and not user friendly.
For example you can’t even decide how you read the feed of who you are supporting.
A simple sort button of newest to oldest and vice versa would save me having to scroll for ages each time I open the app.

Absolute garbage app with no search function

The single worst app on my phone. Would drop it like the hot garbage it is if it wasn’t the only place I could get the subscribed content I’m after. The worst search function in history with the title layout for downloads also equally unfriendly to the paying user. Why can’t we search for an episode in our own subscribed content???? Without manually scrolling through possibly hundreds of entries. You guys are having an absolute laugh. Sort it out.

needs some improvement

I struggle to find the podcast episodes I’m looking for. There is an ‘audio’ tab where you can find the eps you’re currently listening to but I find it a little unreliable. It would be great if you could filter the podcast episodes into listened/not listened.
An option to auto play the next ep would be helpful as well since I often find myself having to manually search for the next ep in a series.

Remove the “recently played”

The latest update includes a section called “recently played”. I don’t know what need this section is trying to fill, at least for myself, it fails. That section is full of podcasts that have one or two minutes left which is the merely Outtro for the podcast I listen to.
The worst thing is, I can’t remove the section nor can I remove the items in it!
It is taking up space on my screen and I have to scroll down to my “Downloaded episodes” that I have yet to listen to. Fire the ‘user interface designers” that work for Patreon, because they are not doing their job!

Would recommend

Great site, massive range of ways to interact with creators and fans, does have some problems however have rarely had the same problem twice and a majority have been site wide and not the app’s fault, would recommend for anyone who regularly accessed Patreon from their phone, overall would rate 5 stars if I didn’t just see a comment section filled with people saying they didn’t get an email notification they signed up for.

Glitchy but good.

Still cannot figure out how to view ‘clips’ from within the app. I have to go to Apple notifications. Even then if I write a comment it starts from the beginning again. Otherwise, a good app. I wish there were more uploads by creators. I follow VANCITY VANLIFE and he’s a good content creator. Others I’m a Patreon for don’t upload much or use all the features. Keep doing updates and making it more user friendly ‘intuitive’.

Incredibly bad audio player

The only reason I use the patreon app is to access patron-only podcast episodes, but playing audio on this app is a nightmare. No ability to queue up episodes. No easy way to see which episodes have been played already. I can’t even read the entire title of each episode that I have downloaded. Spectacular garbage from Patreon

Honesty & Integrity

When you get to 60 it’s hard to not look back at the events that have shaped your life in finance. So after many losses over the years I can now say that without a doubt I have found a presenter that acts with honesty and integrity, which makes it easier for me to be responsible for my own actions, and now on my way to financial freedom. What an awesome human being you are. Thanks James, May you be continually blessed.

Doesn’t actually load??

So i only follow a handful of creators on here and they only really post still images. Not something that should be that difficult to load up and view. Yet, unless I am connected to incredibly fast wifi, I cant load 90% of what the creators are posting. I have fairly good internet on my phone yet I cant even view a single image? Not great. Also the search option does not work. Typing in a specific creators name will show you anything but that creator.
Still a lot to fix on the app.

Monthly Membership

First of all there should be an option to turn off auto renew without cancelling membership. Most importantly people should realise membership is not monthly as in you get a month worth of membership, instead to pay for that month and get membership until that month ends. So if you pay for membership a week before the month ends then all you get is a week worth of membership. I also hate how you have to pay tax. All companies must pay tax it shouldn’t mean you make consumers pay slightly more just to cover your tax costs. Pay your own taxes, put your gst up yourself

Can’t hold place

Love the concept of the app and what it enables, however I have 2 major gripes:
1. App is unable to consistently remember where in a podcast I left off, like how hard is it for the app to remember which podcast it was playing and at what point??
2. When listening on AirPods if the audio is interrupted for whatever reason (phone call, reply to a message, etc) when attempting to resume it pauses and plays repeatedly every half second, this is usually when using wireless controls or on Lock Screen
If these two items could be addressed it’s make the user experience so less frustrating

Great platform, terrible app

App needs a much needed upgrade and looks like people have been calling for it for a while. Difficult / impossible to sort / find content from subscribed channels.

Content great but app not working

I love Patreon and being able to support creators. However the app can be very temperamental and glitches frequently. This is particularly true if you need to update payment details. Every time this happens I follow the troubleshooting guide and uninstall the app, turn my phone off, then turn back on again, download app and sign back in again. It doesn't work!!! It generally takes 24 hours before it gets back to normal and this is after multiple times uninstalling app etc. its super super frustrating as I love the content on patreon and think the concept is great but the app consistently is a nightmare to use if yoj have issue with payment and need to update payment. Other than that app works ok, just seems to glitch badly when payment needs to be updated or resubmitted thru app.

Can’t believe the ratings.

Considering how crunchy this app is, how have people rated this so highly? A place to support my faves? Great. Love it. Now if only I could actually scroll and look at comments, easily reply, look at likes, receive notifications for replies/likes, communicate better, have less bugs and glitches, be able to look at the media from the people I follow in a clean and easy way. I couldn’t even edit my profile from the app on my phone, there are so many features I literally have to go to the site to access and even then it’s crunchy as f. I’m going to keep using this because if I don’t then I can’t easily support my faves, not to mention access the content they post exclusively on Patreon. We pay for this! Y’all needa do better.
Edit: just scrolled through reviews and you’ve had these issues for literal years. This is pathetic, how have this issues not been addressed?

I don’t understand

It’s honestly the worst and most glitchy app and I really don’t understand why it’s THE app. If I get a phone call while listening it will start skipping and the audio drops out like a scratched CD, it’s hard to find your place or something you were listening to previously, it’s not very user friendly, it randomly crashes every few hours and it drains the life out of my battery 😬

Massive Security Breach

A lot of iOS users have reported to have been logged in into accounts that weren’t theirs on 24 September (US time) and they were able to see people’s info like their email address, their pledges and their private messages. This was confirmed by Patreon itself on Patreon Support Twitter account on the same day that it happened and we have yet to receive any emails of Patreon addressing this issue. Patreon seems to have treated this issue as a minor incident when it clearly wasn’t.

Great, but could be better

I love being able to support creators directly, so I really appreciate the service Patreon provides. The site could be a little easier to navigate (the few names I have been trying to find haven’t shown up when searching for them?? Had to use a direct link) or maybe being able to search by categories/subcategories of creators would be good. Also, if we’re able to search for new people to follow within the app/browser, maybe some cover page content from each creator so you know more about what you’d be spending money on, rather than kind of a guess?

Need to develop the app/ more features.

Guys. You need to develop this app a bit now. It’s getting stale. You need to offer creators more features from the app like adding audio files to posts from phone ect. No reason for this not to be there. And posting live vids or vids from the app, like Instagram or Facebook. No reason this shouldn’t be there now.

Absolutely useless

- No sort posts by dates. Have to scroll down for the oldest posts.
- No sync for video playback progress.
- Absolutely horrendous video player. The on screen control is unresponsive, full screen button sometimes doesn’t show, drag the progress bar to a precise time is mission impossible. The change resolution basically doesn’t work, it shows options but only allows you select auto.
Honestly why not just remove this app and let everyone use the website? The video player is equally awful but at least it’s got sorting.

Extremely buggy

Things as simple as scrolling through creator posts cause bizarre offset bugs, or straight up crashes in many cases. Opening files that previously worked before the redesign crash outright too. The provided web browser is also severely lacking standard features and should just open in the native browser. Considering how clunky the web interface is on mobile devices I can’t really use it as an alternative, so I’m paying for a service I can barely use. I can’t recommend the platform in its current state.

Primitive

Do not get too excited about this app. It will give you access to creators and their content but it is very basic, the experience is not good.
Specific things like downloading videos does not work, when watching videos it does not go full screen or handle rotation.
Many of the functions will just open a browser window and drag you through the login process.
I have found it much better to just use a native web browser.

Don’t like new update. I regret updating soo bad.

Don’t like the feed because now I’m scrolling for ages and the side bar that showed my creators and their number of updates is gone. Before I could swipe through their pages but now. Seriously some creators upload more than others and still no advance search option or playlist options just seems more inconvenient for me. Let the creators make playlists. Bring back the content creator list.

Poor navigation experience with latest upgrade

An ’upgrade’ was pushed out that changed the user interface. What was easy to navigate around is not now. Opening the new app gave no guidance on how to use the new interface so frustration sets in trying to find material and have it display correctly. Screens weren’t displayed correctly - a poor experience. If developers feel a new interface is required, there should be the ability to select it if you want (or not in this case).

Terribly complicated

I’ve tried to explore the app but it’s impossible. The idea seems nice but what if you want to explore random creatives. People you don’t know that exist. You just only can search for who you know? What’s the point of being and artist trying to be known if the only way of finding people is knowing who they are already. And if you can do it, then how? It’s really complicated and I’m about to give up. I’m an artist and this doesn’t make me confident that people are going to see my work if they don’t know who I am already.

Lack of a search functionality

I only listen to one authour “Mike Bennett” who is amazeballs!! But I cannot see a way to search his feed for particular stories, or an wasy one click to where I have my downloads ... I just accidentally found that spot through a number of unintentional taps and screen slides. Could be easier!!

Always have to login

Really annoying that I keep having to login every single time I open the app. Just use the links in your email browsers chaps. Save yourself some time and don’t download the app.

Good way to view updates but still room for improvement

The latest update does as it says stopping crash on launch. Not sure why it suddenly started crashing in the last few days and this was needed?
Latest update also now seems to let clicking on a notification to take you to that info rather than just opening generally, good but also unsure why this was not working for so long.
Unlike on the website the app does not allow you to view all patronage updates in one list but it is a good way to look at each individually.

They have fixed a few issues but...

While some major (for me) issues have been fixed, there are still a few things that need tending to.
Ideally, I would like for this app to be a fully functioning alternative to logging in on my Mac Book.
Scheduling posts would be a nice touch. So would changing your profile image.
As someone who creates a lot of video & written content. I would very much appreciate the ability to save my video posts without needing the video link. I say this because on many occasions, I create the written portion of the video post ahead of filming the video.
The app is getting better, but you do need to login on your computer to access all features.
Thank for the efforts so far.

Nice idea - terrible app

The concept of patreon is nice but this app is just terrible. For podcasts, i only use patreon to support podcasters, means this app must be used to download and play them.
This is the worst podcast app imaginable, utterly featureless compared with any other player. It barely manages to play podcasts, it won’t download automatically, can’t tell if you played it or not.
The rest if the apo is similarly rubbish experience. There is no excuse for publishing apps this bad, plenty of great apps around to see how to make a good experience.
I would ditch patreon in a heart beat if something else came to take its place.
Oh, and support is non-existent, or just so useless might as well be, can’t tell which.

Very Happy Camper!

Brilliant! I've found some of my favorite authors here on Patreon and new ones, too. Also pod casters. This gives me a way to not only get the most up-to-date info on new books, but also I get snippets, ideas, pics and any thing else that happens to cross their minds to share 🤗! I haven't had a single problem using this and I'm more than happy to share this with anyone!

Cumbersome & disappointing

I downloaded the app because the website appeared wonky on my iPhone, only to find out that the app is pretty much a browser-based wrapper around the mobile site. It does function somewhat better, but the layout is poor and it lacks the nice fluidity of a proper iOS app. Very disappointing, and only marginally better than the mobile site itself.
p.s. I just noticed that if you swipe to the bottom of a page there's a button to download the Patreon App on the App Store. Talk about redundant!

Synch issues between app and web

Big issues of content not in synch between appears in the app and what appears on the web version. Comments postes via the app don’t always appear on the web version and are therefore not seen by others (even though they appear in my app version). Conversely, I can’t see all comments of others appearing in the app version, although they appear in the web version.
Latest version does not display photos posted by members in the Community tab??? Photos appear on the web version but do not appear in the app version...
Patreon iOS developers. You’ve got work to do to fix these major bugs and annoying aspects of your app.
Patreon, fix this!

This app is atrocious

Such a great idea but the app is hopeless. Needs a better edit feature (mostly crashed the app when I try to use it). And now, after editing a post I can see on my phone, it has removed the whole post on every other device and on the website and yet I can see it quite clearly on the phone where I wrote it. Why on earth would you not enable copying and pasting of one’s own posting. So disappointed to have my interactions so limited by this app.

Great platform, terrible app.

As much as I love Patreon and being able to support content creators directly, the app borders on unusable. Searching creators I know have profiles yields no results, the layout is difficult and irksome, and there is almost no ability to do anything aside from look at posts. You can’t edit your profile, comments or anything else. Just stick with the website on your computer. Avoid the app altogether.

Latest update has less features

Latest update seems to have removed the ability to edit your profile. As a patron I’d also like the ability to be able to edit my comments and manage my messages from within the app. Sometimes I’ll get notifications, sometimes I won’t. A post can say it has x amount of comments but most of the time they never load. Good app for the basics such as viewing posts but better to use the website for everything else.
