This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Easy solution: the app only redirects you to the website via browser intent.
Fuck Apple. They deserve 0%.
Why does patreon even need to be an app? What value does the app bring that the website can't deliver?
There are a lot of people out there that will not use a website and only use an app for things. I'm willing to bet there's some users of patreon on ios that don't even know there is a website.
I tend to use whatever has the best user experience. I don't use a browser for lemmy as an example.
Does this mean Patreon too will have two tiers of billing system: standard billing via the Web and slightly higher prices if done in app. I think if one purchases a YouTube Premium membership in app on iOS, it costs more than when done via the site.
Notifications of new content are nice.
definitely. i know so many people from my school who’s iphone home screen is just… pages full of apps. we’re talking 40+ apps on average. they always say it’s weird how i use a website for almost everything, and then they complain about their storage space :/
Unfortunately, I think you hit the nail on the head. Apple knows this too. Also, unfortunate for those Apple-sheep 🙄
I thought Apple lost this war already?
A few times. But the old man don't seem to learn.
They lost it in the EU, but did it change for the rest of the world? Can't really read from the article what region they are talking about.
