MN App on iPhone

Mumof1plustwins · 02/03/2012 22:08

Please can you update this? It only has limited icons and there are so many things that need improving!
If enough MNers post suggestions can we get an update for the app please MNHQ?
TIA

Thanks for the update Helen & yes yes please to all that's been suggested
test If that works, thank you!

When I'm scrolling down. fairly quickly, I find that the text ends up being highlighted by my iPhone which then either takes ages to be able to un-highlight or freezes completely, so that I have to exit app, GP back into app and then of course I can't find the thread.

Agree with the "my topics" unless you bump it you lose it...or you have to add it to your watch list but wary of that now because I can't remove any threads from there and old ones don't even disappear!

They fall off "I'm on" after a week, which is not really long enough on some obscure topics.

SleepyFergus · 04/03/2012 09:17

They should appear in 'I'm on' though, don't they??

inmysparetime · 04/03/2012 09:07

Sorry, just looked and it's "my topics" , sorted that, but would still like "threads I started" as some take a little while to get a response and I sometimes lose them

inmysparetime · 04/03/2012 08:34

Also "threads I started" never has anything in it (despite me starting several threads)

snala · 04/03/2012 08:28

Oooooh thanks
I'm so stupid

SleepyFergus · 04/03/2012 08:24

snala you can do strikeouts!! You need to put a double dash -- in front and after the words with no spaces between them. When you type a message, hit the 'i' box at the top right of the message box and it gives you instructions on how to do bold, strikeout etc. I only discovered this recently!

snala · 04/03/2012 08:16

Yes to an update please!!!
•Icons in a different place, I'm always catching them and loosing the thread I'm reading.
•The ability to strikeout.
•Full titles.
•To be able to refresh a thread when I get to the end of what I've read but others have added posts while I have been reading iyswim?
ATM I have to leave the thread, go back on it and flip the messages. A right pita.
•To be able to click on posters name for profiles would be good.

I have no laptop ATM and I'm relying on my phone for all things Internet !!!!
And breathe!!!!

SleepyFergus · 04/03/2012 08:06

Yeah, it's a bit annoying that when you go to type a message you can't see anything else, like the OP or any of the replies.

"..." means "more" Had to have a look after my post as you can't see anything when you write a post.

Mumof1plustwins · 04/03/2012 07:27

Jnice · 04/03/2012 01:28

You can scroll emoticons?

Ooh look at that

NannyPlumIsMyMum · 04/03/2012 00:17

Well at least I have learnt I can scroll along the emoticons ...

OneLieIn · 04/03/2012 00:12

Be really great please

Can I add book marking or highlighting my posts and to Zen's list please?

I really hate the scrolling through and then accidently pressing a button and loosing all my hard work, I read a few vary long thread like Brave Babes and Nobdies and they are a complete pain on the ipad app.

ZenNudist · 03/03/2012 23:36

Wishlist for app:
1)Full thread title (v.annoying)
2)being able to click through pages of a thread from the top of the thread without having to scroll down
3) Being able to highlight OP and your own posts so they stand out
4) for 'I'm on' to last longer than a few days.
5)being able to watch threads
It could be so much more user friendly... But it took so long to even get a vodaphone sponsored app, what are the chances of it being improved?!

Mumof1plustwins · 03/03/2012 21:28

Just thought of another one, highlight the OP's posts'. Would make it so much easier to follow the thread especially the really long ones!

Oh that's great news HelenMN!

Hope our suggestions will be included and the update is soon!!

Throughgrittedteeth · 03/03/2012 19:42

Also adding page numbers to apps would make a lot of difference to my MN experience
