## Review summary

Overall, reviewers praise podcast playback and Patreon's value for supporting creators, but fault the app for a disrupted experience: discovery feeds and home screens pushing non-subscribed content, confusing redesigns and poor navigation, billing and refund headaches with overcharges and slow support, stability issues like crashes and errors, and missing features such as a native Apple TV app.

### Pros

- Reliable podcast playback.
- Valuable way to financially support creators and artists.
- Some users view Patreon as essential for supporting their favorite artists.

### Cons

- Homepage/feed is dominated by recommendations and non-subscribed content, hurting the paid-subscription experience.
- Frequent UI/UX updates make navigation confusing or impossible.
- Billing and refunds problems, including overcharges and slow or unresponsive support.
- Stability issues like crashes, freezes, errors, and account deactivations or security concerns.
- Missing features such as a native Apple TV app (tvOS) and limited platform capabilities.
