Ratings and reviews

Good content. Bad app — clumsy UI, slow, buggy, unreliable playback, etc. User story: As a supporter, I want fast and streamlined access to the next unlistened episodes for a creator, so that I can go through the backlog of old episodes I missed. Today this requires many clicks to get to the creator's list of episodes, change the sort order to oldest first, then scroll through episodes 10 at a time, squinting for tiny grey checks, then scrolling again, waiting x seconds for the next 10 to load.

This app has recently become unusable, though Patreon has had a slew of problems since it was created. The most recent issue I've run into (going on 6 months now) has been the app refuses to run in the background, even with the proper permissions enabled and I changed the battery usage settings to "unlimited " to try to see if my battery optimization settings were causing issues. I've done the whole delete the app, re-download, re-login thing multiple times with the same issue persisting.

This app is ridiculous. You press 15 sec rewind button and half the time it does some random action, going back 5 sec, back 1 min, often even going forward 15 secs, it's so annoying. It also does some thing where it gets to the end, but cuts off mid sentence and when I rewind 15 secs it goes past where the end was. It's kind of hard to explain, but basically I have to rewind like 3 times to get the end of a video.
