I may have to give up on the iPhone version: fine at first, but now it keeps crashing. Hmm

ChablisLover · 02/12/2012 07:59

I hate the new Iphone app

Threads are duplicated it keeps crashing

It's not as easy to read or navigate

Bring back the old app

GlitKnit · 02/12/2012 07:53

Agree screen too small.

GlitKnit · 02/12/2012 07:53

That's iPhone.
I'm back on the old one. This iPhone one is crap

GlitKnit · 02/12/2012 07:52

Adding a message should be the report arrow.

Love the new iPad app xx

Jux · 01/12/2012 21:08

I have just tried the iPad app again, and opened a short thread with 3 posts. There is no box, nothing below the 2nd reply, so that the entire thread took up about a third of my screen (landscape) and thereafter was blank. The thread was only that long anyway, so it has loaded the whole of it, but nothing else.

That's why I have yet to see the weird emoticons. I might cry.

Sleepyfergus · 01/12/2012 19:38

Just not liking this, sorry! I'm on the iPhone app, and find it really hard to read list of threads compared with previous app. Don't know if its the colours, or the layout. Can't put my finger on it.

Also, still unable to read long thread titles in full which was something raised before.

And it's so unstable, keeps crashing.

niceupthedance · 01/12/2012 18:39

Love the new app, but like others I can't flip big threads and keep getting kicked out - annoying.

Tiredmumno1 · 01/12/2012 17:40

Please bring back the old app, until this is sorted, it keeps booting me off Hmm

GinandChocolate · 01/12/2012 17:20

Sorry this is awful. It doesn't rotate properly. You can't use the zoom function that you can use on other iPad apps. Yet again it isn't a proper app and it crashes all the time.

The website is just so much better.

RibenaFiend · 01/12/2012 13:48

LOVE the new and improved iPhone app!! Grin

Terrywoganstrousers · 01/12/2012 13:36

Yy flipping- I've often thought that about the app.

FlippinHeckItsCold · 01/12/2012 12:43

I'm finding it hard to navigate. eg. I read a thread in the active section, the thread is in the Christmas topic and I think 'I wonder what else is in the Christmas topic?' but I can't get to the Christmas board without going all the way back to the topics list and trying to find it. I want to be able to click on the 'Christmas' at the top of the screen when reading a thread and go to that board to see more threads within the same topic.

SnowyBeardySantaman · 01/12/2012 12:35

I'm back on the mobile site now. I find it easier to use tbh. The colour schemes make everything easier to view here.

BelissimaLol · 01/12/2012 12:27

I'm having the same problem with the iPhone app since I upgraded it yesterday. It crashes all the time and I can't see one of my usual threads!
Also no direct link to topics anymore.
Much prefer the old one!
Why is it cashing though? Can anyone fix this?

Pickles77 · 01/12/2012 12:22

I prefer the old app too Wink

ChristmasCountdown · 01/12/2012 11:09

Rather than an actual refresh button it would be useful if you could just pull down the screen to refresh on the iPhone app.

MimsyBorogroves · 01/12/2012 10:25

I can't use the iphone app at all now for longer threads - it closes itself if I read more than a few posts. I've deleted and reinstalled 4 times.

UrsulaBuffay · 01/12/2012 10:16

Am on iPhone btw

UrsulaBuffay · 01/12/2012 10:15

Active shows the same sort of ten threads over and over, it's like a scooby do buffet.

App has crashed a few times.

Don't like the emoticons.

Flojo1979 · 01/12/2012 10:06

I'm on Android and can't find the original post? Is it right at the bottom? So if its got loads of posts I have to scroll through hundreds to see it? Could do with it being at the top.

LookAtHerGo · 01/12/2012 09:17

I'm not sure if this issue has been raised or not, I've tried looking back but can't see it in the posts I've read.

When I look at active topics and scroll down I see the same topics repeated as opposed to new ones. So my list goes
Thread 1
Thread 2
Thread 3
Thread 4
Thread 1
Thread 2

And so on. Confused

I'm on iPhone.

AppleOgies · 01/12/2012 08:42

skyblue press the + button in the top rhs and there is an option to flip the thread, making the most recent post the top post.

ChristmasCountdown · 01/12/2012 08:38

Looking again at the iPhone app, the part of the screen that actually scrolls when you are on a thread really is too small. I used the old app all the time, but I think this will really annoy me and put me off using it. Which is a shame because, initial glitches aside I do like it.

I still have no idea what half the emoticons are or what the green heart is for though.
