Did you send out emails asking some posters to follow a link to download a tesf version? Cos I think I may have deleted it as spam. If that was you, sorry and I will try to get it back

[tinyterrors]

I was just going to ask the same. I got an email today from "user testing, franny grant" asking me to download a test version. The email looks different to other mn tester notifications so wanted to check that it's legit before I download anything.

[HarrietSchulenberg]

Just signed up. I was only checking the Play Store yesterday to see if there was a replacement app yet. A search for "Mumsnet" yielded "Netmums" as the top result (), followed by a load of games.

[Energumene]

Just signed up - had never even noticed there was a Talk app, or I'd probably have been on here more

Oh well, there goes my productivity

[tapdancingmum]

I think I got an email as well but deleted it as I just tried to register and it told me I had already done so. Happy to test for you

[Sallystyle]

I am testing, but none of my tests posts show up. Are they supposed to?

[tinyterrors]

U2 I think the email said that our posts from the app wouldn't be visible on the website version of mn, they'd only be visible to other testers. That's how I understand it, I may be wrong.

[tinyterrors]

Has everyone else been able to log into the test app? It won't let me log in using my normal log in details.

[HelloCanYouHearMe]

Ive had error messgaes logging in and on the odd occassion where i have logged in, I havent been able to post anything

[Sallystyle]

I can see other people's test posts on my phone, but not my own.

Haven't been able to log in, but assumed we aren't meant to do that.

[CuttedUpPear]

Android user but phone is 3 years old so I'm not sure if I'm newfangled enough for this.
Bloody shame because I've been waiting at least a year for this.

[CuttedUpPear]

Just tried to sign up and the page says 'you have already taken this survey'

Well I did but it was MONTHS ago...

[Binglesplodge]

I can't log into the trial at all. Shame!

[tinyterrors]

I can't log in and it won't let me post. I just keep getting an error message.

I'm also having trouble selecting topics and threads. When I try to get on chat the app shows up threads in the gaming topic instead. If I try to select a thread it will only load the top one no matter which one I select.

I'm having the same issues as tiny although I'm able to log on fine

[Masketti]

My login failed a couple of times but I kept trying the same details and it finally let me in. However trying to navigate around it has been a nightmare and I gave up after only a few minutes of frustration.

[BeautyQueenFromMars]

I'm logged in fine, but my posts don't show on the app, and no matter which thread I choose, it'll only ever open the top one in the list.

[tinyterrors]

I've found that you can change threads by swiping left/right (a feature it would be great to keep). Sometimes the same one shows up a few times after swiping right but it changes after two or three goes. It's still hot and miss as to which topic is selected though.

[FrannyMumsnet]

Hi everyone,
Thanks for all your comments so far. As you are discovering, some things work, some don't; and some of those things are news to us. Please carry on telling us... it is very helpful.

The invitation email would have come from testfairy.com - with a subject line of either:
"New build of Mumsnet Talk 0.2..... Android app"
or
"Invitation to use TestFairy"

I have also contacted some testers who signed up a while back (in January), from [email protected] (User Testing) with subject line like: "Mumsnet calling - Android Talk app testing".

If you still want to download, but have lost the email, please contact [email protected] - from the same email account that received the invitation.

If you have Android OS earlier than 4.2.2, I'm sorry to say, this app won't work on your device without upgrade.

[FrannyMumsnet]

If you have downloaded and have opened the app, you can always give feedback by shaking your phone and filling in the feedback form right there.

[FrannyMumsnet]

Logging in is one of the things that doesn't work for some people at the moment. Sorry for frustrations.

Thanks for trying, everyone.

[ScarletOverkill]

Have signed up

[iamdivergent]

My app appears to have stopped working, I'm just getting blank purple screens when I click on anything :(

[FrannyMumsnet]

Thanks to all who have signed up so far.

We've finished one round of testing for now.

If you were one of the testers - thanks for that too.
