Yes it's been a long and somewhat painful wait but it's here at last!

Get yourself into the iTunes store, search for Mumsnet and it will appear before your very eyes. It is not a mirage.

Android app following soon! (nb the mobile version of Mumsnet is at already available at m.mumsnet.com)

Hope you like it...

Well I managed to get it to upload after updating the software on my iPod touch. Thsnks for the tip Lawrie.

Smile

A couple of things:

firstly, do we really need the date on each thread in Active Convo's, as, well, I think we know that in most circumstances that they're active as they've just been posted on. Confused

I'm not keen on the fact that when I select flip thread, so I can read the end of a thread, it also changes my Mumsnet settings on my laptop. I like to read down the page on a PC, but obviously on a long thread it's more efficient to get the last page first on the APP.

So, DarrenTech, I'm waiting.

I'm on iPhone 3G and it's working perfectly but refusing to open on ipad1, any ideas about that?

Hi Mumsnet Towers - don't know if you have spotted the other very recent thread in AIBU about discovering mumsnet mobile but lots of us hadn't discovered it until spotting the thread.

There are assorted ideas on it about how it could have been easier to spot MN mobile that would maybe useful for the iphone app too...

FlorenceMattell · 09/06/2011 11:53

but i'm patient so will wait Biscuit

FlorenceMattell · 09/06/2011 11:52

Still crashing :(

FlorenceMattell · 09/06/2011 11:51

So excited maybe I can now have mumsnet 24/7wow!

slightlycrumpled · 09/06/2011 11:40

I have iPhone3 and it downloaded fine. Am most Grin about the app - so far!

DarrenMumsnet · 09/06/2011 11:07

Hi all
The app crashing at load screen seems to be have happened a few times. Tech have now been informed so watch this space for further news.

OTheHugeManatee · 09/06/2011 10:26

Has MNHQ responded to any of the people who've said their app gets as far as the load screen and then crashes? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it doesn't seem to make any difference, I can't get in.

mamalino · 09/06/2011 09:00

Mine won't load with iPhone 3g either

FlorenceMattell · 09/06/2011 08:54

Hi waiting for this.... but won't open on my iphone (old sort), downloaded from apple store, but says verifying and closes. Maybe only compatible with iphone 4 ????

AgentProvocateur · 09/06/2011 08:34

Fannybaws (my favourite playground insult BTW) just try again. I had to try three times before I got it.

If it still doesn't load, do you know you can use the mobile version on your phone too?

NormanTheForeman · 09/06/2011 08:15

Paschaelina, I would be disappointed - but I don't have an iPhone anyway, so will carry on using my laptop (with Brew) Wink.

fannybaws · 09/06/2011 08:14

any ideas

fannybaws · 09/06/2011 08:13

Ok this is an emergency, cant get it to load and moving house tomorrow so no wifi......weeps quietly.
Am on an iphone 3 and ideas?

RubberDuck · 09/06/2011 07:57

For those wanting a quick way to get to the bottom of a long thread - use flip messages when you're in the thread, it will reload so the newest message is first.

bizkit: if you have a snoopy partner, might be an idea to keycode your phone anyway as otherwise he'll have access to email etc too? The app not logging out every time is a benefit for those of us who have long complicated passwords and hate retyping in everytime you just want to pop in an app :)

Thistledew · 09/06/2011 07:41

Great app - but two niggles-

I liked to be able to open the whole thread in one go, rather than a page at a time. It means I can open a really long thread to read even if I will be losing 3G network

I can't see how to bookmark. Can we still do this? Really frustrating with a fast moving thread.

Otherwise, great! Grin

bufforpingtonchick · 09/06/2011 07:39

  • ability to hide threads please
  • threads refresh when you drag the screen down please

I like purple though Smile

MissTinaTeaspoon · 09/06/2011 07:21

I just tried to highlight some text to copy it and the whole thing crashed Sad

Bizkit · 09/06/2011 07:15

I logged out last night, but come this morning I've opened the app and Im still logged in....I don't like this means my OH can snoop at what I've been writing, should he decide to have a nosey through my phone Angry

WorrisomeHeart · 09/06/2011 05:43

Fave not face!! Grin

WorrisomeHeart · 09/06/2011 05:43

paschaelina you need to add your face topics. If you go to the Topics section and then one of the individual topics (ie _Chat) then press the + sign in the top right hand corner, you will get an option to 'Add to My Topics'. Hth! Grin

lalalahahaha · 09/06/2011 02:50

Seems to work ok but I'd like to be able to jump around the threads more easily eg to different page numbers.

Also you can't read the thread titles properly, only the first few words. So mumsnet mobile is easier to use so far.

ReadyToDrink · 09/06/2011 01:33

On my iPod touch now. So far so good SmileGrinSadWinkAngryEnvyBlushHmmBiscuitConfusedBear

ChaosTrulyReigns · 08/06/2011 23:44

Ahh Lawrie, that's what was happening to me.

I shall try the upgrading too.

Cheers fellow apple procrastinator.
