Hybrid trash

Reviewer11235813

Frequent crashes, layout issues, unable to copy a patron RSS podcast feed. Hire some native devs, you have the money. After the funding stunt from a few months ago you're real short on good will.

Patreon in theory is good, but after the Fee scare, and the lack of updating the functionality of the app, even the new feature Lens is dismal tradeoff to the whole thing. Please really work out all the bugs in the app; going to the website is much better because the app is just deadweight at this time - STILL.

Why is it impossible to skim through!!

When I try to fast forward or go back using the bar it keeps moving the screen downward! So annoying to have to keep clicking the 15 sec to go to where I want to go.

The new swipe feature is annoying and frustrating.

I liked the previous version when it looked like a desktop variant, but the new swipe look is just plain unforgiving.

The Navigation is Horrible

I hate that if I'm watching a video and I have to take a call or answer a txt and try to come back to the video it won't play and the app will go back to the first page of the creators. That's just annoying. Also if you allow people to download audio. Why can't I download the videos for easy access? I really like patreon but OMG this app is infuriating!!

Update doesn’t work, please fix ASAP

-The new update doesn’t work I can’t see any of my earnings or patrons. -As a creator this is frustrating. -You need to bring back the COMBINED feed. I’m sure patrons will have trouble viewing my page now because there’s no GENERAL feed for all the people you follow/support. No one wants to INDIVIDUALLY click each separate person to see new posts... -Furthermore no one can see my Patron only posts so it looks like I’m never posting, you need the blurred out images like before or better still, allow us to show teaser preview by only seeing the main photo and the first few lines of text and instead of “read more” expanding the post, it brings them to the “become a Patron at this tier to see this post”.

Please bring back the combined feed

EDIT: Also please tell us what you're actually updating when you guys update the app. Buffer does an amazing job at this. (Original review below) It takes more work to go back and forth to various creators' pages and then tap on their posts to see them, which dissuades me from looking. I assume the idea is to entice followers to become patrons, since the big "become a patron" button takes up a large portion of the screen (using an iPhone SE). Therefore, I would suggest to instead bring back the combined feed AND show the patron-only posts with blurred-out images that creators post. To me, that is far more motivating because I can literally see that I am missing something by not being a patron. As it is, both in the old app and on the website, the combined feed only shows public posts. But some creators never post public posts, which makes me feel disconnected, and also is a drawback for me as a creator, because if most of my followers and casual browsers who haven't joined the site only see my posts through the app or desktop feed, they will never see when I post a patron-only post (though followers may get an email, I guess).

Can't make it through a video without a bug

Can't stand the different feeds for every creator but that doesn't bother me as much as not being able to make it through a full video without having the app go black and crash.
