Guess it's as good a place as ever to remind everyone who uses Patreon that if you are subscribing through Patreon app on iOS that prices are going up in Sept by 50-60% and if you want to save money go through the actual website. This is Apple charging more not Patreon.

Edit: Apple is forcing Patreon to abide by the 30% Apple store fee this going through Patreon App on iOS will increase costs for end users by at least 30%; easiest solution is subscribing through the website, still being able to access content through the iOS app.

This is a common trend actually, don't subscribe to services through Apple iOS apps if you want to save money. And to a lesser extent Android.

Why would anyone want to use an app for Patreon, anyway? It's very much a browser experience.

I don't disagree on the Patreon app point, but I sub to like 6 podcasts and never visit the app or website. For me it's very much an RSS feed experience via my preferred podcast app.
