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...

MmeLindor types faster than me Grin

RunningDay · 08/06/2011 16:58

Bluesatinsashes for now I think the only way is to press the + at the top and press Flip thread.

MmeLindor. · 08/06/2011 16:57

Bluesatin
click on the + and flip thread

No worries, used to be Lindt

Seems nice and easy to use.

It would be nice to be able to rotate the screen though so can see more of a thread title.

I also agree that being able to refresh by pulling the screen down would be very nice.

Good work overall though Smile Ooh yes, these smilies are great to use aren't they Grin

Is there a way to preview before posting?

Can I have the moon on a stick? Wink

Bluesatinsashes · 08/06/2011 16:54

Can you short cut to the end of a long thread? I can't see how, so just keep scrolling down the page pressing 'more' at the bottom.

PersonalClown · 08/06/2011 16:51

I'm typing this on my iPod touch and it's working just fine for me.

Chipotle · 08/06/2011 16:41

MmeLindor apologies!

Chipotle · 08/06/2011 16:39

MmeLindt Mumsnet Rules out on Kindle you say... God don't you just love technology!!!!! Grin

OTheHugeManatee · 08/06/2011 16:36

Mine says 'verifying connection', then closes down again Sad

What am I doing wrong?

MmeLindor. · 08/06/2011 16:29

Ooooh. Look at this.

And MN Rules out on kindle? Dh might need to iron his own shirts today Grin

Can I change colours? Find the grey on White somewhat hard to read [bifocals needed emoticon]

Spagbolagain · 08/06/2011 16:23

Nah still doesn't work, this is rubbish

Chipotle · 08/06/2011 16:22

It'll take a while to get used to, but on first appearances it seems like quite a nice, simple app.

Spagbolagain · 08/06/2011 16:21

I don't have that, just a big black box which is why half the screen seems to be missing......think it's gone horribly wrong, will trybto download again!

Malvapoeding · 08/06/2011 16:17

Spag - on mine you just click on active convos/home/topics etc at the bottom to get out of search.

Spagbolagain · 08/06/2011 16:08

And if you go into search by accident you can't get out without closing the app. Whyyyyyyyyyy?

Spagbolagain · 08/06/2011 16:07

Mine doesn't work!!! It only fills half the screen so I can't see anything

Honeydragon · 08/06/2011 16:06

oooooh

PrisonerZero · 08/06/2011 16:06

It doesn't word on my Ipod touch, says loading and then just closes instantly.

notwavingjustironing · 08/06/2011 16:06

Thank you very much.

PrettyCandles · 08/06/2011 16:03

Mmm, so-so.

Looks good, smileys are good.

Bbut limited display, does not respond to rotating the iPhone, and no customisation or preview.

Also, had to post this via regular main site - on my iPhone! - as connection appears to be very unstable.

Malvapoeding · 08/06/2011 15:55

Tee - thank you for getting us acknowledged :)

It is sooo much better than the first one we were let loose on!

Paschaelina · 08/06/2011 15:50

Smile but I wanna bookmark, hide and colour my posts to show I'm most important please.

And where are the Wine and Brew on the gallery then? Norman will be disappointed..

Tee2072 · 08/06/2011 15:31

Just wanted some acknowledgement, Darren!!

Y'all should have seen the first version...no, let's not talk about it. ::zips lip::

My apologies for forgetting our panel of beta testers, without whom the app wouldn't be anywhere near as good as it is. Thank you all.
