Ratings and reviews

It's clunky for videos. The video viewing capabilities could be smoother between videos. The comments cannot be hidden under each video so you need to scroll past all the comments before getting to the next video. To avoid this if videos are posted onto YouTube then you can copy and save all the YouTube links to a playlist and watch them on YT instead for a smoother experience. Then it makes Patroen an unnecessary extra step.

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.

Excuse my French, but this app has become an absolute steaming pile of dogshit. Facebook connected users can no longer sign in. You're prompted to input your credentials, but when attempting to sign in after that, the app WIPES said credentials, and you're in a worthless loop. And yes, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but no dice. Given how many others have left a lot of various negative feedback regarding all sorts of issues, I'm assuming this issue won't be fixed, either.
