Review summary

Users praise Patreon for podcast listening and for enabling creator support, but report frequent reliability issues on Android. The top pain points are media playback and casting problems (Chromecast), lagging and buffering with download-related crashes, and recurring login or error messages. Several reviews also cite updates or monetization as sources of frustration, including fees and a perception that the app isn’t stable or data-efficient. Despite the positives, these core usability problems undermine a smooth experience for many users.

Pros

Excellent for listening to podcasts; many reviewers rely on it as their main podcast app.
Positive for connecting with and supporting creators; valued for the community aspect and funding opportunities.
Strong overall user sentiment and affection for the app (reviews like 'it's the bomb', 'great app', 'I love this family').
Perceived value in enabling creators to reach and engage with their audience.

Cons

Video playback and casting problems, including Chromecast support not working.
Lagging, buffering, and download-related crashes that can brick the app.
Frequent media playback errors and login/authentication issues.
Monetization concerns and perceived excessive fees.
Instability after updates and ongoing reliability problems.

2026-08-22	An*****	ever since the update where they mixed in suggested patrons with the ones you have membership with on the home page instead of how it was before where suggested were at the bottom it has become a garbage app. the suggested before we're atleast similar to what I had memberships to, now they are things I don't care for and I have gone through it for 30min 7 days straight so the algorithm would go back to what it was before and no such luck. fix this already and go back to how it was before

2026-08-22	Ni*****	every new update brings things I don't care about, both as a creator and supporter. they removed community chat a while ago, now there is auto playing content and suggested content. Were people asking for these kinds of changes?

2026-08-21	J_*****	Not happy. Everything was fine until recently. I was subscribed to two members for over a year and payment was never an issue. I have to pay double to get it to register and it's taking it out a day early. support is giving me the run around. I cancelled everything and in the process of deleting my account so I can start over after the 14 day period it takes to do it.
