Viewing Issues/ Patreon app sucks/ computer browser works best

The app randomly closes for me and sometimes the pictures don’t load.

Both ways seem to work ok, but the individual seems to be easier to read

It WAS working for me until some idiot who updated the code broke the app. Clearing the app data and cache doesn't work either.

So far, separate panels works best for me. In or out of the app

You don’t even need to see it from your computer. Just make sure to access Patreon on their website instead. I don’t like their app and haven’t used it at all. I have always been viewing your comics from my mobile browser and it works great!

My app has been giving me trouble every way you post comics. I’ve contacted support and they seemed helpful the first time and said they were working on it and the next time I messaged I was told something along the lines of “things may not always get attention or fixed”

Thanks for being so considerate <3

Most of the time, I just read them straight from my email, as they show up there. But so far havent had issues with my app to view.

Most of the time when I try to use the app to view comics, it will freeze up and then the app will just quit and exit me out.

It’s not just the app sometimes the website sucks too. Like I tried viewing your comic twice and while I can see it in my email, I also wanna like it but the link wouldn’t take me to it. Some sites just need a lot of work!

The old way worked best for me, but keep experimenting. Everyone deserves to view.

I always use browser and never have any issues. Don't even have app installed personally.

For the record, I personally have no problem with the app, but I really appreciate you offering so many options for people.

As a computer only viewer, I can't see much difference.

I just look at it in the email it send me on my phone! Because if you do the comic as one image then it shows me the whole thing.

I got like 5 emails about the comic, but I never use the app, I use the internet browser on my phone

I never use the app. I always watch the comics in the mails I get to notify me about a post. Much better to look at the strips.

Well I got like 5 emails about the same comic, so I suppose all the methods alerted me as to the posting.

When on my phone (an S7), I find that the mobile website or just in the Gmail app works best. I have not had any issues with the single-image comics so far.

I just see them in my email , is good for me

Thanks for working so hard to try and make sure everyone is taken care of! I can always view the strips super well in my email, which is where I normally look at them because I get the email that you’ve posted :) thanks for everything!

I just use my web browser on my phone rather than using the app.

With my new phone, I'm not having ANY problems seeing the comics, but with my old phone an tablet (cheap and old) I'm have problems seeing them all.

My only issue with the phone app is that when I zoom in to read the text it becomes difficult to read. Separate panels are easier to read then long strips.

Luckily you have made it easy with separate panels as I don't have a computer I use LOL. I know that's odd but I use my phone for everything I need.

Hi there! I use the phone app the most. I can tell you the long strips get hard to read through the phone. The best ones so far for the phone for me have been the separate panels. It comes in clear and I can read everything

I use the app, but haven't had any issues viewing your comics! I had a problem trying to download a wallpaper a while back, but that was all.

I wasn't having problems with the app until now. All the strips we're fine and then I tried viewing the past one after and it just didn't work. I can see them but it's unreadable even if you zoom in.

Got the app, and also multiple notifications for every strip panel posted 😅 But the long post was broken on app so, still like the panels. Most of the time I use the mail and there the long version works best.

The separate photos work great on the app, when you post a strip it crashes for me when I try to view it. But I can view the strips perfectly on my email

I usually see them on the email on my (old) hotmail account using my android (Sony if that's relevant) phone. And I have no issues with it. I never use the app (I had no idea there was one)

I don't use the app, just web browser and I typically have no issues reading it

Email viewing works fine otherwise too

I appreciate the effort you go through to try and make this work for everyone. This crap can be frustrating.

Yeah I know it does. I have to view your comics via email because the app has crashed my entire phone a couple times. Email version works fine tho.

I used to see on my e-mail. And it's good. But the app really sucks.

Unfortunately all I have is the app, but I make do. Thanks though!

I just view on my email, tbh. You could always just make a dropbox and include it in the post for those unable to see it. A lot of artists I follow on here seem to do that.

I use email/mobile browser, and for the most part it works. Sometimes the formatting is weird but I can still shrink or zoom the panel to view. For those struggling with the app, I'd suggest mobile browser. Thanks for trying your best to make it viewable for all users.

An idea would be to create a locked wordpress and people just come here to get the link and password. Then you don't have to worry about the crappy app :).

Yea my iphone cant view them but my samsung phone can.

I think it was a topic already reviewed, but maybe split the comic in 2 or 3 different images could help

I use ios app just for notifications but browse your comics through phone browser.

Don't stress we love them no matter what!!!

They make the images optimized for different devices. Any image this tall is going to be downsized on mobile. I think the recommended dimensions are 1500x900.

I find it best to just view on my email. Much easier. Btw...Hugo is my favorite!

i don't have it in my feed, saw the comic in the email

I view in my email. Smooth and clear. But I also come back to Patreon web browsers to reread my favorites.

Both posts viewed just fine when I opened them in the gmail app on my Android phone.

Post it twice? Once in the slides, once in the continuous strip?

I think it has to do with the size of the images. If I have issues I just view them in my email with no problem. Please don’t stress yourself out! Stay healthy!

The best way for me to see it is using the email. It shows up pretty well there, even on mobile.

Never had a problem before, but after the last post all the posts are useless 🤷‍♂️ luckily the app isn't the only way to view these amazing comics 😄

It works to view it from my email

It was working. Today has decided to be different.

I am looking at it on the Patreon website and the comic still doesn't show.

I'm totally up for dealing with minor inconveniences to read your comics I love all the different comics you put out

I just view the comics in the email notification I get. It works out much better than the app.

You know how I view them? From the email I get that says you posted something. It works great like that!!!

I just noticed you had a few comics I hadn't seen. Your account is the only one I have issues with, oddly enough
