| 2024-12-12 |  | | Could be improved. I find myself having to document watched shows from some creators. It would be great to have a progression bar similar to other video streaming apps. I also would like to select what page the app opens on. It defaults to the home page, I want it to open to posts. |
| 2024-12-12 |  | | I despise this app. Scrolling through the media player to listen to my podcasts is a miserable experience. It only loads 5 or so episodes at a time, you clunkily scroll down, only to have it load forever the next 5, ad infinitum until you get to your episode. Once your episode is done, gotta go back to the list, it doesn't play the next one. But the list starts from the beginning again — even if you go back to the list immediately. I hate it so much. |
| 2024-12-11 |  | | How is it possible for an app to suck so bad? You have one job, play my podcast. Yet even though I download the podcast episodes beforehand, 90% of the time the play button just doesn't show up when I look at the podcast. I can see the description and the title and the image but there is no button to click to play. Sometimes it will eventually show up. Restart phone restart app doesn't make a difference. I even bought a new phone and it still won't play. Patreon really sucks |
| 2024-12-10 |  | | App itself works fine but the notification settings are horribly designed. Everytime I follow a new creator, I have to go into my settings and turn off the individual notification settings for each creator. There should be an option to either turn them all off, or individually. Very frustrating, almost want to delete the app so I don't get flooded with unnecessary notifications constantly. |
| 2024-12-10 |  | | I'm currently only having one issue with the app and it's the notifications. Ever since October this year notifications from the app have been on and off. I only follow one creator that posts in batch but most of the times I only recieve a few of the notifications while other times it works fine. I really wish it was more consistent and I've never had this problem before until now. |
| 2024-11-27 |  | | Edit: Lowered stars because I updated the app and lost all of my downloads...very annoyed. Original: Ive had the app for a while now and loved it. Only issue is with audio items, I really wish I could organize my downloads into folders, have auto play (it's sometimes will and sometimes wont play the next audio), a search function for downloads, and have a repeat button. Else, Ive no real complaints, it has worked well for me as a consumer. |
| 2024-11-27 |  | | There should be an option(s) for memberships for Patreon as a whole. Times are tough right now for most people and extra things like this are not a priority thus the creators suffer financially and the listener misses out in great, educational information. Another option could be for the creators to post their content from Spotify, Apple, and other lIx subscriptions so that again, the listener can choose subscriptions to one or the other. Hope this helps - thank you! |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | The app itself sucks so much. If I didn't like my podcasts as much I'd never download this waste of data. Ui is terrible and there's no way to queue content. I downloaded a few episodes and now I can't play them for some reason. They show up in my downloads but just as text and I can't play. The worst app I've had to deal with. |
| 2024-11-07 |  | | This app is terrible!! I had to switch patron because they got rid of stitcher. That is the only reason why I have it. There is no way to filter by what you have listened to or have not listened to. So if you subscribe to a podcast that has years and years of episodes, you have to continuously scroll to where you left off. When you finish an episode and open the app, it does not start you where you left off, it goes automatically to the very newest episode even if you've already listened to it. |
| 2024-11-04 |  | | The app was great, but suddenly on 11/1/2024 it hid and locked all the recent posts from only one of my memberships. I pay yearly for this membership. It gives the option to upgrade membership. That is it trying to double charge me a prorated amount of the remaining months I already paid for. I made a help request through there support page. They have not responded at all. |
