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...

(Any complaints to [email protected] Grin)

Think I've found the problem - think I may need to at last upgrade my iPod to OS4.

LawrieMarlow · 08/06/2011 23:29

Spoke too soon :(

It has now downloaded but if I try and use it, it says "verifying your connection" and closes.

I'll go back to the mobile version again.

LawrieMarlow · 08/06/2011 23:28

It is now downloading :) Will report back on my findings soon

Paschaelina · 08/06/2011 22:38

What is "My Topics" for in the settings menu? Theres nothing in it.

Tee2072 · 08/06/2011 22:36

Uh oh seems to not show all the threads I'm on!

I post on the Apprentice thread but have Telly Addicts hidden as a topic. The thread from tonight is not in Threads I'm On in the app.

WickedWitchSouthWest · 08/06/2011 22:09

ooo must make time to play with this! probably when I'm up all night nursing poorly ds

lisad123 · 08/06/2011 22:05

Love it!!

prolificwillybreeder · 08/06/2011 22:04

Darren- can we highlight OP's posts and our own on the app?
For your next version/update: Please could you add a 'top of page' option like on the mobile version?
Perhaps a customised home page?
Otherwise it's great Smile

Wooohoo!! (easily pleased)

MinnieBar · 08/06/2011 21:38

  1. You need to be able to get to the last page more easily (PITA with long threads)
  2. Bring back bookmarks (see above)
  3. OP posts need to be highlighted so I can skim read to the juicy stuff

Like the font and the smilies though Grin

freshprincess · 08/06/2011 21:22

I like the purple and the easy smilies SmileGrinSadWinkAngryEnvy

BUT the logout doesn't work properly. If you hit the back button you're straight back in. Prefer on the mobile site where it logs off after a while.

LawrieMarlow · 08/06/2011 21:18

Can't get it to download on my ipod touch :(

RubberDuck · 08/06/2011 20:53

Awesome - love the ability to keep track of favourite topics and the quick smilies! Smile

Al0uiseG · 08/06/2011 20:36

Brilliant, thanks MN :)

GwendolineMaryLacey · 08/06/2011 20:33

Ooh me likey. It's weird but me likey Grin

baguettecut · 08/06/2011 20:30

I can't get past the title page.

MmeLindor. · 08/06/2011 20:27

Ooops, Rusty. You are right.

YAY MUMSNET HQ. THANK YOU.

No, doesn't work on iPad but also unbothered as MN is good on iPad.

foxinsocks · 08/06/2011 20:25

I am happy to have it free with ads Grin

MissTinaTeaspoon · 08/06/2011 20:20

Sorry, another moan from me...links don't seem to work if they're to other mn threads, but if they're to other sites they do.

RustyBear · 08/06/2011 20:16

MmeLindor - does it work on your iPad? Won't on mine. Not that I'm too bothered as MN's OK on Safari on the iPad.

I like the purple though...

Thank you MN Grin

Bizkit · 08/06/2011 20:15

Ooooooo I like, much easier to write a reply now Grin

MissTinaTeaspoon · 08/06/2011 20:13

Oh, and in active conversations I like to be able to see if there's any new posts without having to go into the thread. I think someone already mentioned that. Looking forward to version 2.0!

MmeLindor. · 08/06/2011 20:11

Another one who would be happy to pay if I can have it without ads and in a more sedate colour. I am not a purple person.

Sorry Vodafone, but maybe MNHQ could split the profits.

MissTinaTeaspoon · 08/06/2011 20:11

I'm in agreement about the need for a refresh option, and that it would be nice if it 'flipped' like most other apps. Otherwise, love it Grin!

Jux · 08/06/2011 20:08

Being a bit dumb here, I know, but would I use this app for an iPad, or do I do this thing with the m.mumsnet thing which I don't know what to do with......?Grin
