Reviews for Patreon

For a paid subscription, the app should be useful. But it should be free. Whatever length of podcast you’re listening to, you better listen to the entire thing in one sit. Or, screenshot where you pause it. Because it will not pick up where you left off. There’s more operating things that are annoying as […]

I’ve been using it for a while, but with the recent update, the app has been closing whenever I use the bulletpoint option when writing a new post. not to mention when writing and editing a post, the page will flick to the top of the post and occasionally glitch the writing format. please fix […]

The platform is dated and clunky, especially on mobile—some features just don’t load or work properly. The desktop version isn’t much better; not all the tabs show up, which makes navigation frustrating. There’s no option for a simple tip jar, which seems like a basic feature to have. Free membership isn’t advertised on the homepage. […]

If it weren’t for wanting to support creators, I wouldn’t use this poorly designed and buggy app. Maximizing a video window will 40% of the time just keep the video the same size and then put black for the other 85% of the screen. You can’t turn off picture in picture (or the option is […]

I’ve been using Patreon since 2018 and somehow it has always had a garbage app. The lens clips never used to work, so they got rid of it. Now a days, you go to create a post and it randomly backs out and doesn’t even save a draft. This has happened on two different phones […]

After getting fed up with how slow, clunky, and dysfunctional the website was, I downloaded the app, only to find that it’s even more so on all three fronts. By far the worst app I’ve ever used. I’m both baffled and impressed. This would be one star if not for the download function, sparing me […]

repeatedly have to uninstall and reinstall the app to get it to load pictures and audio. when you finally do get it working, it will randomly “unload” everything in the middle of playback. I’ve had to reinstall it 5 times today alone. fix please now. UPDATE: the best part of this experience is that when […]

update: it’s working, yes, sort of. The queue repopulates itself randomly, so be sure to clear it before each use if you don’t want another to immediately start when a podcast ends. the app has been buggy at best. it started randomly playing queued items recently but there were no controls. finally, after some back […]

Every day, I swear they make this app worse. There used to be an easy way to download content without clicking into the content, but that’s gone. Now, on top of that, clicking into the content to, say, read the description or download it for later, auto starts the media, interrupting what I’m actively listening […]

Though I did have my review at a 5 Star rating initially, I’m frustrated and confused: about 4 days ago I started receiving posts and notifications showing off the artist artwork, but I was not able to see nor view any of the artwork even though the artwork was free for all non premium users […]

It mostly works fine, but lacks polish. For example, I often find that posts I’ve liked (confirmed with multiple refreshes) are mysteriously reverted later in the day, as if I never clicked the button. Also, it’s surprisingly difficult to find simple functions like direct messaging. Videos being restricted is unnecessary and frustrating as well. Needs […]

Terrible user experience! I’m trying to give you my money and you can’t figure out how to fix the ongoing issues with payments (do a Google search and you’ll see plenty of posts out there). I want the extra content from my favorite podcast, just wish I didn’t have to go through Patreon to get […]

This app only really loads some of the time. Sometimes a picture you expanded won’t load, sometimes your timeline won’t load, sometimes it loads and tell you that you aren’t subbed to anyone. It’s great. Also, it’s not my internet because you can be stuck on a black screen waiting on a picture to load […]

Really poor app design and layout. Within the app, there’s no way to view or manage your memberships. By going through all the different options within the menus, I eventually found the page but it didn’t load. I had to find each individual creator to edit my memberships. The whole app is designed around accessing […]

Disappointed. For a paid app (you typically pay to see peoples content), this should work better than it does. The controls for videos seem like they were designed to make using it as frustrating as possible while still being usable. God forbid the dumb comment box shows up and now you are losing 1/3 of […]

Years ago I subscribed to a creator for just a couple months before ending it. it has been 3 years and they’ve continued to charge me for the membership despite my account saying I am not pledged to anyone. The creator I was pledged to doesn’t even have the same subscription anymore and it actually […]

1. Open app. 2. Tap the “currently playing” bar which shows the last video that was playing. 3. See the video with the time left (e.g. 8:45 remaining). 4. Tap “Play”. 5. Video starts from the beginning, losing my spot. Resuming playback where I left off seems like a pretty basic feature that this app […]

was doing absolutely fine until this update. I have been loyally subscribed to 1 creator, and now it’s telling me my payment isn’t going through. I’ve been using the same card for a long time with no problem. It’s showing up on my 1 card, but says it’s trying to charge it on a different […]

Patreon in general, is an amazing idea. They’re doing a great job with the app lately too. Many improvements. Sadly, the auto play audio feature keeps going, even when I turn it off. (I hate auto-play. I have my own podcast app and never want to listen to something with the Patreon app). I’m still […]

After years of hearing about this platform, I only just installed this app and video player is THE WORST. The controls are in the center of the video and do not go away while the video is playing. Not only that, the CONTROLS are in front of the video, and by that I mean, the […]
