Ratings and reviews

I have specifically turned off notifications for previews of content not included in my membership, however, it seems like doing this has only made these notifications appear more frequently. It is very annoying to get a notification thinking it is for something that I have access to, but it turns out to only be a glorified advertisement. I would rate the app 5 stars if something was done to fix this.

Unless the connection is top notch, it fails by reversion: whatever you did gets undone. Messages, likes, etc. All gone, to be re-done from scratch. Zero transmission error correction. Switching to check something related to what i am writing means losing everything written. It's 2019: Use a cache. Only cares if i watch it on local, anything seen on the desktop or on a different device is considered "unseen". So notifications are "always false positives except when they aren't"™️. Maddening.

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 happy enough that I give it 5 stars.
