cant see what im typing Sad

bakerbakerfairycaker · 29/11/2012 11:49

Only just got my first ever smart phone so still unsure about apps...but...

Whats all this about OP posts being highlighted? I've never seen this on the desktop or mobile site. Do you have to switch it on?

greensnail · 29/11/2012 09:59

Aargh, see!Grin

greensnail · 29/11/2012 09:58

Out's ok for reading on but I can't cope with not bfing able to see what I'm typing.

CelticPromise · 29/11/2012 08:34

I quite like it. Mobile site drives me mad, I'm forever accidentally clicking top, bottom or report.

I don't like the upside down threads though.

NickyNackyNooNoo · 29/11/2012 08:22

I got a new android phone the other day - I have to say that so far the android one works better than the iphone one Wink
Thankyou Mumsnet & techical Mumsnet people

RudolphTheRedNosedTapir · 29/11/2012 01:54

Downloaded it onto my phone last night and I can view but not post anything, but it keeps crashing my phone Confused

Tortoise · 28/11/2012 23:49

Just installed the app. Looks ok so far.
Will keep playing and see how I get on Smile

MooncupGoddess · 28/11/2012 22:52

Really annoying that the topic at the top isn't clickable; I often go via Active Conversations to (say) a thread in Adult Fiction, then want to click on Adult Fiction and see what other threads there are in that topic. It's fine on the mobile site but impossible on the app.

LadyMetroland · 28/11/2012 22:45

now installing until improved! nice first effort but not a patch on the mobile site

can't see what I've just typed - apologies for typos

LadyMetroland · 28/11/2012 22:40

really don't like the fact that less than half the screen is free when scrolling down active convos. get rid of the logos

also why can't i see what im typing right now? can only see something saying write your message here, then a line odd emotions. impossible to see what im typing

SP thats what I didn't like!

I have a short cut straight to 'Threads I'm on' on my homepage!

No faffing!

Plus I was reading down not up on replys if that makes sense. the flip thing didn't change anything.

I'm sure if I used it for a while I would get used to it, but I prefer the mobile site.

InSPsFanjoNoOneHearsYouScream · 28/11/2012 21:18

I'm back on mobile site as I can't tell if anyone as posted on threads I'm on

MissLToeishavingsantasbabyboo · 28/11/2012 21:09

I have used it for a day or so now, I like the emotions, so easy, my typing window is actually quite large, it is a lot easier to get to threads I'm on than the mobile site.

I don't like that you can't highlight your posts or the op, you can't preview new posts on the thread on the threads I'm on screen, it doesn't rotate, on my phone if I want to add new words the quickest way is to turn my phone sideways to get my qwerty keyboard, it doesn't on the app.

It's quite average for me.

SantaKissedBonkeyMollocks · 28/11/2012 21:06

Don't like it!

SweetMingePie · 28/11/2012 21:05

Any chance you're working on an iPad app?

LemonBreeland · 28/11/2012 21:05

Just realised others have already said the same things.

I also agree on the highlighted posts. I often just read op posts on very long threads

Posting this from the app and I do like the simplicity of the smilies Smile Wine Thanks

LemonBreeland · 28/11/2012 21:01

Well I quite like it. Annoying to have to flip the threads though.

Also in threads I'm on I can't see if there are any new posts, that is what I look at most on my phone to catch up. Don't want to have to open each one just in case.

LemonBreeland · 28/11/2012 20:52

Off to download now. Will report back.

JollyJock · 28/11/2012 20:18

I agree with msrisotto re threads I'm on.

In fact, if the app could just be exactly the same as the mobile site I would definitely use it Grin

ConfusedPixie · 28/11/2012 20:14

Yay! I felt so left out hen I as told by bloody Apple users "Oh, just do x, y and z on your app!" Never even knew they had one before that :(

SuzySheepSmellsNice · 28/11/2012 19:13

I think I like it... Smile

AnnieLobeseder · 28/11/2012 18:33

Don't like it. Your mobile site is much easier to use. Don't like the Vodaphone ads, don't like how none if my settings (like highlight OP's posts) are available. I'll be sticking to MN mobile.

Startail · 28/11/2012 17:31

yes but not for my kindle fire Sad

Yes Trills I know I should have a Nexus, but that's not what I was given.
