Is there ever going to be a new one? I know I can just use the internet on my phone but I liked having an app.

I can't believe that so few Android users have been asking about this. We're not that much of a minority surely?

The ap was worse than useless and the mobile site is good enough.

Came here to check if it had been sorted yet.
Hopefully by next year you mean January.

Thank you Dawn. I have pretty much dropped off mumsnet since it's been gone. Sad

@ChampagneTastes

So it's January.... Any update?


Only just, though! We'll go knock on Tech's door and see if we can get any info...

So sorry that you're feeling left out. Sad

Hi ChampagneTastes - the Android app is being worked on and will be here later this year. We're hoping in around 6 months time, but that is very much an estimate at this point.

It's almost impossible to post on Android on the mobile site now - typing anything, the cursor moves so slowly it skips letters and words. Only this site is affected. I use Firefox.

I'm a little put out at how Android users have been treated. We've been very patient but another 6 months seems ridiculous - I presume that the iphone app is fine and dandy? Why are we so low on the list of priorities?

Another 6 months? Shock

I find the mobile site impossible on my.phone.The cursor skips about and thr bar about the guest post is currently sat over what i am typing so apoligies for spelling but i can't get rid of the stupid thing.

agreed that the mobile site really lags, no other sites do.
I constantly find that I think I've clicked on a thread and in reality I have clicked on a totally different one as the site hasn't caught up with my scrolling.

I agree with your last post Champagne.

Hi all - apologies for the delay in getting back to you.

Our iOS users make up over 64% of our overall mobile users, which is why the iOS app took priority, with Android users taking up just over 30%. Of course, we're not saying Android users aren't important. There are a few of us at HQ eagerly awaiting the Android app too.

However, creating apps is a lengthy process - it takes around a year to create an app like this. We want to assure you the app is being worked on as we speak, and very soon we will be posting a request for volunteer testers of the early version.

If there are major issues with the mobile site, please do let us know and we'll ask Tech to take a closer look.

Again, we do apologise and please do keep posting your thoughts on this.

I am still having the issue with the mobile site as mentioned above - the cursor seems to jump over words/letters making it almost impossible to type anything. I rarely post using the mobile site now and I'm on MN a lot less. Which is probably a good thing, I actually get things done instead. Wink

Just started a really boring thread un chat about how when I click on a post in the 'threads I'm on' part of the mobile site, it takes ages to load. I used to think it was my crappy internet but I just got fibre so in theory it should be faster, but it just isn't.
Am on a Samsung S6 if that's relevant.
