An app you can only get via the Apple store, mandated by Apple?

You can make the subscription through the website on the phone just as well and not pay the cut to apple.

Most likely the app exists just because people don't know how to type patreon.com into the browser anymore Full functionality is available on the web AFAIK. And if you subscribe on the web, there's no Apple cut, but you can still use the app to see said content. It's an inconvenience, but a super easy one to get past and not exclusive to Patreon so a trick any Apple users should know anyway if they enjoy paying subscriptions for things (Netflix, Spotify, whatever)

Yeah. But why would you use the app? I personally didn’t know there even was an app.
