iOS update

Hey 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

Eric Wheelhouse

Well shoot 🥲😅 looks like I need to do some investigating or get a new phone. Thanks a bunch 👍

MercifulTrash

I think it does because the App Store fee applies to all payments made through the App Store.

Burretploof

Do you know if it effects the yearly tier as well?

MercifulTrash

If it starts with a lower case I, it needs to die

Sky Milton

Ughhh the poisoned apple strikes again

Kylieee

THIRTY PERCENT? that's absurd

London

Danny and Arnold are so thoughtful

Zachary Carter

thank you Leigh Daniel Avidaniel and Arin Handstand, you’re truly men of the people

mom_pleaser69

Thank heavens for my Droid. My old boss was trying to control me and switch me to iOS. It ain't happening chief.

Andrew Le

Another Apple L, they simply don't respect poorer customers.

Jussomegay

Maybe we should start

GameGrumps

It 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

No, you should be fine if you already started your subscription

GameGrumps

Yes it should!

GameGrumps

I think it's preferable because it simplifies a lot of stuff. No customizing, no handling files, just buy and go.

Sally Sociopath

I 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

Oh c'mon... the game doesn't even respect itself lmao

Zan Azoth

I just wish that you’d play danganronpa with more respect

Carl P. H. Bay

My 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

tbf 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

That’s… what they do. Patreon automatically raises the price on iOS by 30% so neither they nor the creator have to pay it.

Kent Loofbourrow

You guys are goated for this

LesbiansЯus

Blackberry still exists!?!?

Bradd

we all know apple sucks

Mark Blythe

I use Android, but it's really awesome of you guys to warn people about that.

Kim Colleary

This 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

Bless you guys

Olivia Collins

I 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

As 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

Doktor Vem

*laughs in BlackBerry Android* *joins* *cries a little when the $5 tier is $8 in CAD but still laughs*

Karine Bélair

It 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

how people can still support apple is beyond me

PlayPod

*laughs in Samsung *

Meranda fisher

5 bucks + 25.5% sales tax but otherwise the normal price

StressedVulture

Thanks! 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

So 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

Apple 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

That's insane that Apple makes the customer pay the extra 30% instead of keeping 30% cut of the original price.

Edward Maldonado

It sounds like it will previous subscribers when you go to renew the subscription.

Edward Maldonado

It sounds like it will affect previous subscribers when you go to renew the subscription.

Edward Maldonado

I didn't know the Grumps were offering any rectal based subscriptions...

Bryce Davis

Solid integrity play from the gang. Thanks for the heads up.

Ethan Roberts

also, how would one quickly find out if i’m being charged the extra fee? this site is ass

Jack

just wanna confirm that this is only affecting new sign-ups and not old ones?

Jack

That’s really cool of you guys to announce to your fans. Plenty other creators wouldn’t care a bit.

Kai Lucas Zachary

Praise the Almighty android

rena frye

That'll show them iphonies 😡!!!

rena frye

MAKE AMERICA GREAT MAKE AGAIN (MAGMA)

Filthy iOS users

Sarahmonster

That's what it sounds like...

Zed

Gonna start invoicing Tim Cook a “Suck My Ass” fee.

Derek Smith

Hehehe <3 android

Zed

This is why I do annal subscriptions. Can’t miss out on the boys because of capitalism.

Mathew

it’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)

Mandy Warneke

Good thing I'm an Android loyalist.

Marissa Mason

Thanks for the heads up team ✌️

Logan Rees

So this is only affecting NEW members ? Not old ones?
