Patreon and the IOS app... Ding Dangit!!
Added 2024-08-26 19:00:04 +0000 UTCThis is something we (and all creators) don't have control of unfortunately, but the least and best we can do is give you all a heads up about it! I know in the video I said November 5th, but I believe it's just November in general. This is the best we can offer as a work around and we hope you spread the word to help out all creators on here!!
Thank you all for being here with us on these watch throughs and thank you for always being a supportive and wonderful community!

Reminds me of Twitch. I would pay more for bits and subs if I was on the mobile app (usually at work). I think they recently raised the sub price to match all around tho.

2024-08-27 08:01:55 +0000 UTCColour me shocked! I'm not an Apple user & I'm sure I've never used the app before, either. Everything I've watched/signed up to is through my various PC's/Laptops, over the years. Thank you for letting us know so quickly, love you both. 🩷🩷

2024-08-27 07:27:47 +0000 UTCCorrect! Unless Google comes in to do the same, but here's hoping they're smarter than that

2024-08-26 23:50:46 +0000 UTCWhat you stated is exactly it! If your subscription is purchased through the IOS app, there will now be an extra charge that auto included into our prices (even though it has nothing to do with us trying to raise our prices on y'all). So if you're signing up through desktop or android, you're in the clear! If you're already signed up with us through the IOS app, you're also in the clear because it is prior to the November launch date of this new "rule"

2024-08-26 23:49:58 +0000 UTCI thought apple had been successfully sued over this with Fortnite or was this just in Europe?

2024-08-26 23:20:47 +0000 UTCMy poor iPod Nano (circa 2006) won’t hold a charge anymore. Since I can’t swap out the battery myself to see if that helps and Apple doesn’t service devices that many generations old, I just keep it tucked away. I don’t think it’s really worth it to me to take to an indie repair shop, especially since there’s no guarantee a new battery will do the trick.

2024-08-26 22:59:52 +0000 UTCI only use the app to read and post comments.

2024-08-26 22:23:00 +0000 UTCThank you, Malcom. It hasn't been 100% clear to me whether there was a grandfather'd in clause for existing accounts.

2024-08-26 21:27:05 +0000 UTCI believe it only affects new subs or re-subs, so it is only worth worrying about if you take a break and return later.

2024-08-26 20:10:19 +0000 UTCAnother reason why going with the Apple walled garden BS is a terrible idea, and its not like people did not have warnings, they where warned plenty for many years. If you are going to depend all of your ecosystem on one provider, then don't be surprised that you get locked in and find it difficult to make your consumer choice heard. (Same goes for google or Microsoft btw, its all a terrible idea to be dependant on them) The last apple product I bought for myself was the iPod classic, since then I never bought another apple product because I did not like how they where enclosing their ecosystem. I provide IT services to many clients, and I warn them off all of this and they are all glad they eventually listened to me. It does pay off in the end not to be dependant and have choices. Control your products, control your data, own things, don't subscribe to them and whenever possible go for open source products. You exchange a little loss of convenience today for saving yourself a lot of pain in the future. The best path is rarely easy. The easy path is rarely the best.

2024-08-26 19:45:28 +0000 UTCHow do I tell whether I signed up thru iOS or the Browser? I am pretty sure I did thru Browser cuz, as Kat Says, the Patreon app sucks, but I don't know for sure. I want MY money going to YOU, not to 🍎.

2024-08-26 19:31:09 +0000 UTCIt's times like this I'm glad I've never owned an apple device in my life

2024-08-26 19:15:31 +0000 UTCI’m unclear as to what’s happening. So, if you sign up as a patron specifically using the iOS app, Apple is going to start taking a huge commission? The app is buggy as heck, BTW, and has been since that huge update a few months back. Patreon seems far more concerned with aesthetics than functionality. For example, their block function is a complete joke that doesn’t work.

2024-08-26 19:12:55 +0000 UTCI have the app on my Android, but I never use it, I always end up watching on my laptop!

2024-08-26 19:08:37 +0000 UTCIt's such an odd thing, I don't think I've EVER installed the Patreon app, Ios or Android.
