Would you like to test an early version of our Talk app?

Hello,
We've been working on a test version of a new Talk app and could do with your help putting it through it's paces.

If you have an iPhone with iOS8 (sorry no iPods, iPads or android for now) and you'd like a sneak preview then head on over to this sign up page and sign up so we can send you an invite (it doesn't have to be your Mumsnet email address just one you can access).

The app is very much a beta version and everything may not work perfectly. If you find something that's broken or think there is something missing, please let us know.

Ideally we'd like you to use the app to read and post on threads and do whatever you normally do in Talk. Please note, this version of the app is LIVE and anything you post will appear on the Mumsnet site for all to see.

At the mo this is for registered mumsnetters only so if you can't see the sign up page please check you are logged in.

Thanks in advance for your help - looking forward (I think) to your feedback.

I'm now having the time stamp error that many others have reported. Some threads are saying posts have been added today/yesterday that are clearly from months ago.

TIO is arse about face with oldest threads first.

Still no problem with font size on iPhone 6+

Flip feature definitely needs to be added. Not tried adding a pic yet...

Ah got it now. By chance and random swiping!

ShelaghTurner · 27/07/2015 19:03

Can't figure out how to bookmark...

cozietoesie · 27/07/2015 15:06

I'm down as the last poster again - at 14.53. (The time of MirandaWest's post.

MirandaWest · 27/07/2015 14:53

The threads themselves have enough white in but active is rather too colourful for my liking Blush

MirandaWest · 27/07/2015 14:52

I only just signed up so I'm sure there's space.

My threads I'm on is random and doesn't include any recent ones.

MirandaWest · 27/07/2015 14:51

Am a late tester (now have an iPhone with iOS 8 Grin). Current thoughts are that I miss the white background but will keep considering Smile.

Will try out a photo now

ShelaghTurner · 27/07/2015 14:51

Hooray. I'm in! Just having a look around. I'll be back...

cozietoesie · 27/07/2015 14:41

Possibly - but why not try the link in the OP and see what they say? Smile

ShelaghTurner · 27/07/2015 14:24

Ah feck it. Have I missed the boat?

cozietoesie · 27/07/2015 14:11

The total post count is matching up.

cozietoesie · 27/07/2015 14:09

I think that what is an issue is that your post isn't showing on the front board - in fact the last post that's showing is my own. (Except that that's timed as 13.50 and not the 13.15 which is when it was posted and which it displays inside the thread.)

There's a disjoint somewhere - probably between the use of App and the use of desktop. (I've been using the latter but I'm guessing that most rececnt posts on the threa are via App.)

LadyLuck81 · 27/07/2015 13:50

Except it's showing dashes and things. I edited my post, deleted and retyped, is that an issue

MrsWembley I've tried that search function a few times but it only searches through Topic names, Style And Beauty, Becoming a Parent etc, rather than thread titles or contents. Is that how the search function is meant to be? Confused or is it just me?!

Also some threads open but won't display any of the content even the OP. Again, just me?!

cozietoesie · 27/07/2015 13:15

PS - I have no idea why I thought there was a 2 second dfference in posting times. I seem to have got it in my head that Franny posted at 22.27.56 but I don't see how I could have thought that. Call it Mondaylunchttimeitis. Smile

cozietoesie · 27/07/2015 12:54

Just in case you're posting with the new App, Franny - your 22.27 post is showing on the board but inside the thread the last post (also at 22.27 if I recall) is showing as MrsWembley's. (Screen shots available if needed.)

Looks like something went a bit skew-whiff? Smile Perhaps the 2 seconds difference in posting sent the system into a spin.

MrsWembley · 26/07/2015 22:27

Ok, it appears to turn blue if you look at it and for no other reason...Hmm

MrsWembley · 26/07/2015 19:58

And Equinox, I'm keeping an eye on the blue/white thing but nothing is jumping out at me...

MrsWembley · 26/07/2015 19:57

Atalanta, I've just found search!!! If you go to Topics at the bottom, the search feature is right at the top of the page!Grin

EquinoxEclipse · 26/07/2015 16:02

Oh MrsWembley I'm not sure now! Confused

pixieg1rl · 26/07/2015 13:58

Bit of a gripe about the text formatting if I write something in formatted text and then go back to edit it then the formatting breaks and you see the formatting marks.

MimsyBorogroves · 26/07/2015 12:28

Here, have a picture.

Is it really white for more posts and blue for none? I may be being dense or just on the far side of a wifi connection since I downloaded this app, but it seemed as if it was white for not read recently and blue for just looked at. I will happily be corrected...
