Thanks, I was struggling to understand the discussion here.

I've bought fully into the Apple ecosystem - a bunch of iPhones, iPads, AppleTVs and Macbooks. I've also been paying a couple of creators via Patreon for the last year or two. But I hadn't even realized that there was a Patreon App. Why would you use such an App instead of the website?

And the answer seems obvious as you suggest. Direct users to the website and forget about the App?

It really seems like the obvious solution. I can't believe that they haven't considered it, so then that would mean they _did_ consider it and decided that it's better for them to do what they're doing and just blame any issues on Apple. Doesn't seem right to make Apple out to be the bad guy when Patreon made a shrewd business decision at the expense of the creators.
