I downloaded the Patreon app to listen to podcasts. Regardless of who is to blame from my perspective their imperfect app provides a better user experience than Firefox or Chrome on my Android phone.


>Regardless of who is to blame

It's Apple on IOS for not even being able to get a proper web app off the ground.

For android, there's probably no primary blame here. But there is financial incentive to produce an app over a mobile website when given a choice.


Does it sync them for offline listen? I can do that with Youtube videos in a browser.

They could have trivially added that to their website.


I was able to get the feed and import it into my favorite podcast app (Overcast). I don’t open the app very often.
