When oh when (wrings hands) are you going to sort out the horrible glitchy app, dear Mumsnet people?
It still repeats the same half dozen convos over and over ad infinitum.
You said YONKS ago that you were going to look at it - so whassappenin'?
Yeess I know the mobile site is available... But on 3G or whatever it's easier to go straight to an app.
(Taps fingers impatiently ....)

The iPhone app really needs updating. The non-function that annoys me is that there are no page numbers on the thread! So you have to scroll down and down on long threads to get to the end. Really frustrating

Cheddars · 02/03/2013 18:41

Sorry that should be a [sad face]

Cheddars · 02/03/2013 18:40

While we're on the subject, can we have the op's posts highlighted please? I remember asking for that in the last update, but it would be even more useful now that refresh and flip thread is broken.Grin

googietheegg · 02/03/2013 18:36

And what's with all the accents, pound signs, apostrophes etc all looking funny?

Feenie · 02/03/2013 18:33

Yep, all these same probs on my iphone too.

MerryCouthyMows · 02/03/2013 18:32

Oh god, that justgiving thing - I don't even have to TOUCH it for that to go to flipping safari, taking me out of the App.

And why is it that that is more 'hover sensitive' when the rest of the thread is just 'touch sensitive'?!

almostanotherday · 02/03/2013 10:57

Ooooo I thought it was just me having those problems Smile

Grumpla · 02/03/2013 09:45

Argh yes I only just updated and how I wish I hadn't!
The colours don't even match up! And there are about 6 threads in active repeated over and over and over and over and over again.
Please sort it out. It makes me really cross at 4am and then it's even harder to get back to sleep!

StiffyByng · 02/03/2013 09:45

I have given up on the app. Search is still hopeless and long threads unreadable. Active threads is frustrating. I've given it a go this morning and have already sent myself off to Justgiving three times. My use of Mumsnet has gone drastically down.

chickenfactory · 02/03/2013 09:35

Same problem here, also I can't see a way to deleted threads in 'I'm watching' on the app.

MerryCouthyMows · 02/03/2013 02:16

Savoy - if you press refresh twice on your threads I'm on, first you get the sad face, and then it updates them to be current. I now do that automatically! Blush

Whatevertheweather · 02/03/2013 02:15

Same problems here on iPhone - I started an identical thread a few weeks back and someone from mnhq said that tech were aware of the problems (repeated threads, rubbish smilies and null replies) and they would be fixed with next update but not sure when that would be.......app is virtually unusable atm

MerryCouthyMows · 02/03/2013 02:14

And yes, the Active thing only having 6-8 threads is blargh annoying. I have also been whinging about it since forced to update.

MerryCouthyMows · 02/03/2013 02:13

Same here. And I keep getting bumped from the App (usually just as I've written an epic post, annoyingly) too. On iPhone. It's bad all the time, but this week has been terrible.

SavoyCabbage · 02/03/2013 01:44

It's the same on my ipad. The same 10 or so threads are repeated time and time again in active.

And in threads I am on, it says "null" with a massive sad face.

Cheddars · 02/03/2013 01:03

And the smilies! I don't know what the app ones mean and how they correspond to the ones on the main site. Confused--possibly a sad face, I can't tell:)

Cheddars · 02/03/2013 00:29

Repeating thread titles after the stickies and not refreshing a thread properly is driving me mad.

It's been doing it for months though, I thought everyone had either given up or it was working for them. I can't usually be bothered with very active threads on my phone now because I have to scroll to the bottom each time I refresh.

MorningCoffee · 02/03/2013 00:12

Me to iPhone here as well it's annoying!

It happens on my iPad to

RambleOn · 02/03/2013 00:02

Oh me too, also iPhone.

iphone.

Refreshing doesn't change owt.

Thanks for picking up on this Tech. I do hope it can be sorted cos I use the app loads - or used to when it worked. Sad

The old app version worked fine. It was only when I (had to) update to the new one a few months ago that it went glitchy - the new app has been messed up the whole time for the last few months.

I did mention it to MN a while back and they said they were on to it....nothing changed unfortunately.
