The search facility just won't work at all. When clicking on a result, it just takes me to a blank page.

Posting on my iPhone GrinGrinGrin

Deleted, reinstalled and no crashes yet!!!

Well done MNHQ, it seems I can join in again!!!! Grin

ElphabaTheGreen · 15/12/2012 14:54

Yup. Let's try that word without the inflection: purees.

Not even going to try pound signs again. It makes me look like a baby elephant on a trampoline.

ElphabaTheGreen · 15/12/2012 14:52

Bold and emoticons still definitely a PITA. The app also doesn't much like words with inflections (e.g. Purées) and I believe pound signs are an issue £££££

@ZombiesAreClammyDodgers

Can anyone see text as bold or italicised anymore? Or struck out?

Ok, so the general feeling is that the crashing has stopped?

But bold and emoticons still a PITA?

Biscuitsandtinsel · 15/12/2012 07:29

Same here on italics, strike through being ok but bold not showing up. What about underline?

Also same here for £ not showing up properly.

And someone else mentioned TIO often saying 'no threads' the first time you refresh and having to refresh again to get them. The same thing happens when I go into a thread sometimes (less often though) where it says no posts until I refresh it.

I hope the app developers are giving you a discount for these problems MNHQ? Grin

ZombiesAreClammyDodgers · 15/12/2012 03:39

Actually no can see italics and strike through but not bold.

ZombiesAreClammyDodgers · 15/12/2012 03:39

Funny this is the only thread where I can see bold etc.
new emoticons are v confusing. What is Shock and Confused??

Terrywoganstrousers · 15/12/2012 03:32

£ signs don't show up either Hmm

ChristmasCountdown · 14/12/2012 07:27

I can see how it would be useful in those circumstances Terrywoganstrousers, but I'm still not overly keen. Even though it's only a couple of taps it feels a bit cumbersome for an app.

MN - I regularly get told their are no conversations when I refresh TIO - I have to refresh twice before anything appears.

I do like that there is loads of space when writing messages though!

Terrywoganstrousers · 13/12/2012 23:12

Christmas- about it showing the last thread you were reading- I actually like that feature as if you click off the thread by mistake you can get back o where you were without having to scroll through the whole thread. If you just tap twice it takes you back to the list.

AmandinePoulain · 13/12/2012 21:35

Pound signs no longer show up.

And My Topics is weird - it either shows TIO or the last thread I was reading rather than a list of topics Confused

AmandinePoulain · 13/12/2012 20:07

Thanks for fixing the brackets. Bold isn't working for me either any more though Sad

ChristmasCountdown · 13/12/2012 18:52

Have just downloaded the updated iPhone version so fingers crossed that's the end to crashing.

I still don't like that there's only really about half the screen available for scrolling or the refresh button. It would be good if you could pull the screen to refresh like most other apps.

Also, if I go into the 'more' it will still be open at the last thread I looked at in my topics instead of the 'more' list of options - I'm sure this didn't happen on the old app.

Jux · 13/12/2012 17:34

No crashing here! Well done that man!

As pne has to log in when using the app, does that mean there can be no lurkers?

Off to check the search function.

StiffyByng · 13/12/2012 17:01

The update has fixed crashing for me, so thank you!

But the search function is a nightmare. It won't take me to a specific post on a long thread, just the thread, which then takes forever to scroll through. I have to say I rather miss the individual pages.

Also I end up clicking through to JustGiving about every minute while I'm scrolling. The link is either too big or too high on the page. It's driving me mad.

InMySpareTime · 13/12/2012 13:57

I did the update on the app, and now bold doesn't work, and characters such as speech marks and apostrophes are coming out as code.
Please fix it.

ReindeerOutdoors · 13/12/2012 13:20

Hi! Thank you for starting to sort it. Please can I put in a request for, as well as emoticons returning to how they should look, to also be able to see most active discussions?

It's still crashing for me. Please fix it- I miss it! I managd to read one thread yesterday for the first time in ages but then the next thread I tried to read crashed as usual

Jux · 13/12/2012 11:41

I don't mind the emoticons

DarrenMumsnet · 13/12/2012 10:59

I'm aware of the emoticons not being any good quite as they seem and am speaking to the developers. I can confirm that should now be working. I've also tested the problem of threads crashing for various reasons and this should be fixed too.

Now for the emoticons Smile
