Well, it closes suddenly when you're in the middle of reading something and I would really love the normal MN smileys back. The sad face looks asleep and the grin looks evil. Other than that, it's quite good.

Completely random order of threads appearing on mine. Not dated or by size, just random. The sort filters need to be sorted

BabylonPI · 01/12/2012 06:22

Can I just have the old app back please?

Where has most active gone on iphone? Please bring it back, its my favourite part.

Mine also crashes when scrolling through threads. Sad

skyebluesapphire · 01/12/2012 00:07

Ok, so in order to see the latest post you have to scroll through hundreds or am I missing something?

I can't see the latest posts because after scrolling for a while, it crashes!

Any way to make this easier?

Sorry for sounding so critical Blush

skyebluesapphire · 30/11/2012 22:41

Thanks to Featherdown I have now been able to log in...

FeatherDownDuvet · 30/11/2012 21:59

I hope you can follow this!

I've just namechanged on my laptop (from FeatherDown to a new NC) and then I posted something under the new NC. Then I went back onto the android app and it still had me logged in as FeatherDown, even after I moved around the screens so it was having to refresh. Using the App I went back to the thread that I had posted on using a new NC and my post was there but when I then went to settings menu on the app it still said I was logged in as FeatherDown.

So I think to namechange I will have to do it on the laptop, then next time I'm on my phone manually log out and log back in again with my new NC (if I can remember it Grin ) rather than just leaving it running in the background.

Might this cause some problems with creating dual identities?

skyebluesapphire · 30/11/2012 21:45

Well it won't let me login at all...

ARE YOU LISTENING MNHQ?!

BitBewildered · 30/11/2012 21:28

And, and, and the emoticon's eyebrows aren't defined enough so I have to peer and squint to see if people are sad or hmm-ing. Also the stupid purple box with an 'i' in it with a list of how to format stuff is in the way. I've had a bad week and now even MNet is being rubbish.

Sobs.

^ which ought to be in pointy brackets but can't, so sobs even more!

FeatherDownDuvet · 30/11/2012 21:20

"Can you make it so you can log in with either your username or email address, like the website, rather than just your username?"

Meant to say I was using the android app.

Also, I wish it had the facility to namechange. I am a regular namechanger (due to stalking ex) and would love to be able to nc on the app. This is partly why I want to be able to log in with my email address because as a regular nc-er I can't always remember what my current nc is or how to spell it Blush

BitBewildered · 30/11/2012 21:02

Pointy brackets turn things invisible for me too. It keeps crashing, and I used to really like the 'Most Active' option on the old (iPhone) app, which I can't find. The only thing I wanted was to be able to bookmark! Sad

FeatherDownDuvet · 30/11/2012 20:59

Can you make it so you can log in with either your username or email address, like the website, rather than just your username?

thingy1 · 30/11/2012 20:13

Another problem with the search tool is if I choose the post (rather then thread) in the search list results then it just displays a blank white page.

Hope that makes sense.

skyebluesapphire · 30/11/2012 19:14

It wont accept my username and login, do I need to create a new one for the iphone app????

CointreauVersial · 30/11/2012 17:57

Biscuits - presumably it's just the Android app having capitals problems.

Terrywoganstrousers · 30/11/2012 17:35

I have discovered another problem. Confused
I was just trying to use the search function and limiting it to one topic- pregnancy.
Unfortunately the drop down list to choose from only goes as far as Mumsnet Local in the alphabet, so Pregnancy has no chance AngryAngrySad

Terrywoganstrousers · 30/11/2012 17:28

Damn the invisibility cloak of the pointy brackets!!!

I also added some mad hormonal thing no doubt

Terrywoganstrousers · 30/11/2012 17:27

Can I just say that the title of this thread is so good it has made me cry a little bit at the thought of little apps running around.

OhYoubadbadKitten · 30/11/2012 17:14

No windows 7 phone app :( but your mobile site works quite well.....

Biscuitsandtinsel · 30/11/2012 17:10

I don't have the problem with the lack of capital letters (using an iPhone 4S) Hmm

BabylonPI · 30/11/2012 15:59

Well I've deleted, reinstalled several times to no avail HmmHmm

Looks like its a no go for me Hmm

CuriosityCola · 30/11/2012 15:58

There was a petulant stamping of foot in bracketsWink

CuriosityCola · 30/11/2012 15:55

This new iPhone app looks good, but keeps crashing all the time Confused

I can't get onto my usual threads

CointreauVersial · 30/11/2012 15:44

Using the Android app in the car right now while waiting for DS to appear from school. Like the easy smileys!Smile Smile

Good job mumsnet. But why doesn't it automatically put a capital at the start of my sentences, like all other applications do? Strange.

BabylonPI · 30/11/2012 14:28

Nope, just crashes on the iPad Hmm

Oh pants, what will I do without mumsnet at my fingertips Hmm

The iPad app looks good, but I can't use it Hmm
