Please stop making excuses and feed the ap designers some Red Bull.

As far as I can work out, that's what computer bods run on!

Petrean, it is saving on letters. Stablishing uses less data than establishing. It's thinking of the bill.

Evening. We currently have some developers working on an upgrade for the Talk App. Smile

Fraid I'm not sure when the expected release date is - think it's a few months yet - but we'll make sure your comments here are passed on.

Isn't the thing with the app though that vodafone 'designed' it in return for the irritating advertising banners so mnhq probably can't make many changes.

Bumply · 10/02/2012 20:12

Another one that uses m.mumsnet.com rather than the app.

MNHQ where are you?

BroomForMyChin · 10/02/2012 19:39

I agree with all the things on this thread. Is the app going to get an update soon?

Sevenbubbles thank you so much

SharkBite · 10/02/2012 19:32

I use the mobile site, not the app. Much better IMO, other than the emoticon buttons, but you can still type them out.

Eclairwaldorf · 10/02/2012 19:31

agree about thread title thingy, and have also reloaded about four times in last month....

dreamingofcalm · 10/02/2012 19:30

Would be good to have a refresh button too, or is there one already that I've not discovered?

mynameis · 10/02/2012 19:30

Another in agreement here and how do I stop watching a thread?

Whatevertheweather · 10/02/2012 19:28

Agree with OP and everything footyfan mentioned Smile

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 10/02/2012 19:24

I've stuck to reading it in Safari in the normal version, then you can get landscape and swipe it larger if necessary. Not usually necessary on Ipad, easy enough on Iphone.

Hassled · 10/02/2012 19:11

I've had to delete and re-install 3 times now. Each time it's killed itself loading threads I'm on. Some sort of a blip/hang along the way and it just stays like that, forever, until you delete and reinstall the app. Which is no biggy, just a tad annoying.

footyfan · 10/02/2012 19:10

That annoys me too OP. I still click on it / turn my phone on its side hopefully every few days in case they've fixed it somehow!

There are 3 other things that drive me crazy:

  1. why can't we click on old thread links?
  2. why can't we access people's profiles? Someone will add photos to a post - and we can't see them!
  3. we need a refresh button to update a link when you're following it real time.

These seem such simple things, but I bet some poor sod is tearing their hair out trying to upgrade everything!

flagnogbagnog · 10/02/2012 19:08

Another one for bookmarking here! Agree with all of the above. Mine keeps crashing too. The only way to deal with it seems to be to delete the app and re-install! So frustrating!

Petrean · 10/02/2012 18:48

What's worse is that ever since the app was created (even though I have told MN about this many times) when it loses wifi/3G it say 'Error stablishing connection'.. stablishing, STABLISHING... WTF is STABLISHING?!

mamalovesmojitos · 10/02/2012 18:47

Yes, thread title missing is very annoying.

catinboots · 10/02/2012 18:44

OOh yes. Bookmarking and picking a page too please

south345 · 10/02/2012 18:43

Me too and horizontally too!

fatsamsgrandslam · 10/02/2012 18:42

I agree! Also I'd like to be able to read 'horizontally' - particularly on the iPad.

sevenbubbles · 10/02/2012 18:38

You can flip on a thread. Just press the + button.

But I agree with everything else!!

Downbytheocean · 10/02/2012 18:37

Ooops, just learnt how to flip the thread, ignore last comment from me Blush
