iOS update
Added 2025-03-05 19:24:32 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
Just a heads up, if you sign up for our Patreon (or most others) through the iOS App Store, you'll have to pay an extra 30% each month as an 'App Store fee.' That kinda blows. To circumvent this, you can just pay the normal amount for a membership on the web or on Android.
Our Patreon tiers are currently set at $5 and $10, so if you're paying more than that, you may be affected. This shouldn't impact patrons who've previously subscribed on iOS, just moving forward.
tl:dr: If you are joining the Patreon, whether for the first time or re-upping your subscription, sign up on the web or Android to avoid paying an extra 30%!

Saw it was 7.50 on the app and immediately went to the browser. What’s funny it was just as easy using Apple Pay on the website. Makes you wonder what the whole point of it is

2025-03-15 13:28:28 +0000 UTCWell shoot 🥲😅 looks like I need to do some investigating or get a new phone. Thanks a bunch 👍

2025-03-13 04:37:02 +0000 UTCI think it does because the App Store fee applies to all payments made through the App Store.

2025-03-11 07:03:51 +0000 UTCDo you know if it effects the yearly tier as well?

2025-03-09 15:52:34 +0000 UTCIf it starts with a lower case I, it needs to die

2025-03-07 16:53:48 +0000 UTCTHIRTY PERCENT? that's absurd

2025-03-07 00:16:57 +0000 UTCThank heavens for my Droid. My old boss was trying to control me and switch me to iOS. It ain't happening chief.

2025-03-06 20:37:13 +0000 UTCMaybe we should start
GameGrumps
2025-03-06 19:22:28 +0000 UTCIt might? I think you still might be good, double check before it renews in November that you're not getting charged more (our prices haven't changed). If you are, just resub through web, not your iphone
GameGrumps
2025-03-06 19:21:28 +0000 UTCNo, you should be fine if you already started your subscription
GameGrumps
2025-03-06 19:20:47 +0000 UTCYes it should!
GameGrumps
2025-03-06 19:20:20 +0000 UTCI think it's preferable because it simplifies a lot of stuff. No customizing, no handling files, just buy and go.
Sally Sociopath
2025-03-06 18:09:35 +0000 UTCI pay on the patron website and log in to the app just fine from my android, btw. Maybe it'll work that way for apple too?
Sally Sociopath
2025-03-06 18:08:30 +0000 UTCOh c'mon... the game doesn't even respect itself lmao

2025-03-06 17:11:52 +0000 UTCI just wish that you’d play danganronpa with more respect
Carl P. H. Bay
2025-03-06 15:51:29 +0000 UTCMy payments are automatic each month I mostly use the app now, is that fine since I’m already subbed to everything or should I just delete the app altogether and only use the web version?
Amy Rose
2025-03-06 12:11:08 +0000 UTCtbf lots of people who have apple or had apple (mines handmedown personally cannot afford to buy a new phone plus this one has basically my whole life on it rn) cannot afford to buy a new phone on a whim lmfao.
Skekk
2025-03-06 09:04:54 +0000 UTCThat’s… what they do. Patreon automatically raises the price on iOS by 30% so neither they nor the creator have to pay it.

2025-03-06 05:24:36 +0000 UTCYou guys are goated for this

2025-03-06 04:35:15 +0000 UTCwe all know apple sucks
Mark Blythe
2025-03-06 04:33:47 +0000 UTCI use Android, but it's really awesome of you guys to warn people about that.
Kim Colleary
2025-03-06 01:55:27 +0000 UTCThis is why I love you guys! You care about us lovelies enough to make sure we don't have to pay hidden fees!🥰 I am an Android user so this doesn't affect me but this is still really sweet!❤️
Ashley Stringer
2025-03-06 01:19:20 +0000 UTCBless you guys
Olivia Collins
2025-03-06 01:01:16 +0000 UTCI have an annual subscription that renews in November. That just means I have to cancel and purchase the annual subscription on computer before then, right?
Troy Dackery
2025-03-05 23:23:30 +0000 UTCAs far as I've understood it it's mostly basically a cult at this point and some are just too lazy to learn new shit

2025-03-05 22:50:21 +0000 UTC*laughs in BlackBerry Android* *joins* *cries a little when the $5 tier is $8 in CAD but still laughs*
Karine Bélair
2025-03-05 22:03:18 +0000 UTCIt just matters where you pay for the subscription so as long as you don’t change how you’re paying it shouldn’t effect you
KatAuroraMist
2025-03-05 21:55:09 +0000 UTChow people can still support apple is beyond me

2025-03-05 21:26:18 +0000 UTC5 bucks + 25.5% sales tax but otherwise the normal price
StressedVulture
2025-03-05 21:16:55 +0000 UTCThanks! Ill swap to computer to renew! I had to do that for Youtube. Love my Iphone and I prefer it to androids, but man, I hate the cons of iphones. 🤣
Serah Nova
2025-03-05 20:56:15 +0000 UTCSo I don't have the app I just use the web browser but I was thinking of getting the app on my iPad, will that effect me at all?
Naku-chan
2025-03-05 20:48:27 +0000 UTCApple are so scummy when it comes to stuff like this, it's the only time Epic Games has ever been in the right legally when they fought Apple over the same issue
CobaltTJ
2025-03-05 20:38:44 +0000 UTCThat's insane that Apple makes the customer pay the extra 30% instead of keeping 30% cut of the original price.
Edward Maldonado
2025-03-05 20:33:42 +0000 UTCIt sounds like it will previous subscribers when you go to renew the subscription.

2025-03-05 20:25:06 +0000 UTCSolid integrity play from the gang. Thanks for the heads up.
Ethan Roberts
2025-03-05 20:24:18 +0000 UTCalso, how would one quickly find out if i’m being charged the extra fee? this site is ass
Jack
2025-03-05 20:15:59 +0000 UTCjust wanna confirm that this is only affecting new sign-ups and not old ones?
Jack
2025-03-05 20:14:33 +0000 UTCThat’s really cool of you guys to announce to your fans. Plenty other creators wouldn’t care a bit.

Zed
2025-03-05 19:30:14 +0000 UTCThis is why I do annal subscriptions. Can’t miss out on the boys because of capitalism.
Mathew
2025-03-05 19:29:39 +0000 UTCit’s not just patreon, be wary of most subscriptions or purchases made via the app store because of this upcharge (ex. anything in twitch and most streaming services)

2025-03-05 19:29:25 +0000 UTCGood thing I'm an Android loyalist.
