Alright guys, here's a pretty interesting opportunity we have.  Patreon just released a Beta version of their first mobile app, and they asked me if I knew where a large group of SUPER INTELLIGENT, AND PATIENT PEOPLE were to help test the early days of the app and figure out what's wrong with it.  Obviously... that's you.  They're not releasing this to the masses... only to people they think will provide really good feedback on the user experience.

It's in Beta, meaning IT'S NOT PERFECT. If you're interested in shaping what the future Patreon app is going to become you can download the beta test version and give it a test spin to try to figure out what's good and what's bad about it. I like it because it has an instagram-like feature where I can post things on the fly... but I'm apprehensive to use it to it's fullest extent because I don't want to inundate you with posts.  It also has a neat "Destin is chatting live right now" feature where we can do an impromptu chat if I'm waiting for an airplane or something.  It would notify you so you could hop on with me if you're interested in doing that.  

If you'd like to wait until all the kinks are out of the system, then DON'T download this... but if you'd like to influence what the future of Patreon looks like in a very real way, then download this and give it a shot!  

Here's the download like (iphone)

Thanks for letting us be part of the beta! This comment is from the app.

Actually, this is perfect! Testing and evaluation, mostly of software, is what I do for living! Too bad I'm an Android user though...

Simon Vacker

I'm interested but I'll have to wait for the Android version.

Lisandro Gutierrez

I'm using the app now, so far so good. A little slow loading, but it's manageable.

Austin Burnham

It says you're live, and when I click the link it brings me to this comment thread. Is it not a video feed?

wizardfusion

Pretty cool beta. I like the "per creator" notifications.

Simon Vacker

So it's possible to follow from your computer too then. Doing it in the comments section can get confusing for people checking the post later tho

smartereveryday

So you can make certain creators send you notifications?

smartereveryday

True. If we can figure it out we should tell them how to change it

Micah2.0

This live feature is super cool!

Simon Vacker

A note in the post should clear up any confusion in the meantime

Lisandro Gutierrez

This is awesome. I'm loving it so far. I can definitely get use to this.

Austin Burnham

Yeah it would be nice if the "live" comments were in a separate thread from the regular comments.

wizardfusion

So you get only the most important creator notifications. You can mute the rest or choose how each notification is sent. Phone, email, none, etc.

Lisandro Gutierrez

Thanks for letting us know about Kangaroo pouches. I would've died never knowing...thought it was just a pocket like the one that comes in front of overalls.

Thomas Balzamo

Destin, are you looking to replace Spreecast with this?

Marc Bergeron

" a large group of SUPER INTELLIGENT, AND PATIENT PEOPLE" They're all Android users HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!

Dan Bell

MEH, no Android

Simon Vacker

Hah, I actually thought about that too. I switched to Android a few years ago and I'm not going back to iOS but I have an iPhone as work phone since the company I work for only use Apple stuff.

Lynn

ANDROID!!!!!

Kevin McGregor

Second that, patiently waiting for the Android version...

David Kettler

Android's coming in the next few weeks! And thanks for all the feedback :D web comments should also be live, so you can follow along on the website if you don't have the app

William Babb

I guess they don't believe in Windows phone like most app developers.

Jacob

Thirded!

Dave helped me get on (finally -- I was already logged on on the web page) so I'm up to beta-testing now!
