Hello lovely patrons! As you may know, Patreon is not only a website but also an iOS app that you can use on your iPhone. You can subscribe to my Patreon tiers directly through this app - but recenly, Apple has decided to take 30% of the membership costs. That's a pretty big chunk!

This doesn't affect those who are already subscribed - so don't worry if you're already a Spark or Flame member!

However, it does affect new members - patrons who subscribe in the future.

Because of the App store fee, subscribing to my Patreon through the iOS app is more expensive - to make up for those extra costs. But there's a simple workaround: you can just subscribe through the website, outside of the app! You can even do this on your phone: just go to Patreon.com with your phone browser and subscribe there. You can also just sign up on a desktop. That way you won't be charged extra and you get the exact same content and experience!

Hopefully you find this helpful! You can always feel free to reach out to me directly with a DM or e-mail to loishh@gmail.com with any concerns or issues. As always, thanks so much for your support! ♥

Damn apple, but luckily it has a easy solution! By the way, Patreon has android app too

Oh my! I pay monthly. So should we unsubscribe in the app and then resubscribe on the website?

Loish

yes, that's definitely an option! if you get charged double, let me know, I can refund your recent payments!

Loish

yep! hopefully they don't follow suit with similar charges.. so far so good!

From what I understand, it only affects new subscribers who start from this month or later. Existing subscribers are unaffected because, until now, subscribing through the iOS app has been functionally the same as subscribing through the website or Android app.

Loish

hey belen! it's actually the opposite - the iPhone app is 30% more expensive. I recommend subscribing through the website!

IronDad

Does that mean the flame tier would be $13/month on the iPhone app?

Loish

yep, I believe that's correct!

Devyn

Yikes! How do I tell if I subscribed through the website? I think I did, but I want to be sure.

Loish

I think you could check by going to the app store, going to your own account, and checking your 'subscriptions' there. if patreon isn't listed, you probably signed up through web! I can double-check later though - right now there's no way for me to tell, but when the changes are implemented I'll be able to to see on my end how a patron signed up.

Devyn

Okay, fantastic! Looks good to me. Thank you so much 🩷
