Are MN going to fix the android app?

I'm wondering if MN are working o fixing the issue with the android app that has been raised be others but never seems to get any response. The issue is the sponsored discussions continually building up in the active list with the only way of reducing them being that you have to log out then in again. Annoying enough in itself but then when I do log back in even though my 'reading direction' still says it's like a book it actually isn't and the only way to solve it is to flip direction then flip it back again. There must be a way of only having the usual 4 or 5 sponsored discussions as it is on the desktop site so please could it be fixed if you're not already in the process of doing so? I know it's not a major issue but it is increasingly annoying.

Paid for version? Is that a joke? Nothing else about mn is paid for.

I am so relieved it's not just me who has this issue! I hate it, I now scroll through about 8 pages before I get to active conversations (logging out and back in doesn't sort mine). It is also really annoying the way that the posts aren't colour coded.

Tried using the app but its soo awkward. Mine never updates and can see really old threads in active. The whole thing is a bit clumsy.

I agree - both in that it needs a fix and that they're ignoring posts complaining about anything to do with the app. I started a post when I couldn't get the app to work on my android and the helpful answer was 'use the mobile site'. well if there's an app I bloody want to be able to use it! since then there's been a few official posts stating that they're working on a new app - but it will be a paid for version. I expect that they're focusing on the cash cow rather than supporting the 'free' version. Envy Envy

Yes please fix it.

pootlebug · 23/04/2014 14:51

Yes, please fix it!

msrisotto · 23/04/2014 14:45

I echo what everyone else has said. I also have difficulties reading long threads, only a page or so of posts will load.

I'm guessing we're being ignored unfortunately as you have to assume they look at site stuff otherwise what would be the point in having the topic and it's not a high traffic area so this has been near the top since posting it. Disappointed at the lack of response/acknowledgement of the problem by MN.

Glad i'm not the only one. Newish to MN & didn't want ask about the vast amount of sponsored posts.

Glad it's not just me then. The app also doesn't colour code the posts, so you can see which are by OP and which are your own posts. And it screws up things like signs.

Please don't ignore us app users.
I really really love Mumsnet but this bugs me - grrrrrr.

yeah poocatcher whenever I've seen someone else mention the problem it just seems to get ignored so I'm not holding out much hope but it would be nice if they realise it is annoying users and try to fix it. Will see what happens!
