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'd like it if active would go on when you scroll down like with the old app. I keep going up and refreshing on this one but then end up seeing the same posts again

When the number of posts show on the left of a thread, it's white if there have been more posts and blue if all read - but could we have that so that the number shows how many posts have been added since we last read it? Does that make sense?

Loveleopardprint · 24/07/2015 22:55

It seems to have caught up now!

Loveleopardprint · 24/07/2015 22:51

Why does my old App have different active threads to this App?

Very confusing re what's been added to and what's almost dead in TIO and TIW and the order makes no sense either.

As someone else mentioned, where's the PM option, or will that arrive with settings?

And when you're in the middle of a thread, it doesn't tell you where you are. I was reading something earlier and had to go back to check if I was in Chat or something more serious as the topic soon became quite heated! Not important, I know, but jus' sayin'...

I've noticed today that there are threads from SN Chat showing up in my Active Threads - I thought they were opt in only?
I never see them on the browser version.

The blue colouring of the app does not stand out well against my other apps.

The bookmarking seems to be working now. Smile

GetTheFudgeOutOfRodge · 24/07/2015 12:25

Ah! Thanks FrannyMumsnet that's been bugging me.

To all wondering about the orange dot next to the app icon... this is because it's a test app. Well spotted though.

LovelyFriend · 24/07/2015 09:40

Oops - well I do love the orange dot!

Loveleopardprint · 24/07/2015 08:06

Could there be another colour symbol for the threads that you have read but now have new posts? Going back to the original colour is confusing.

GammonAndEgg · 23/07/2015 20:06

Love this!

Definitely too much white, hardly seems worth customising the colours. It would be useful to have each post separated (by a line) and the OP's post coloured.

A bigger range of colours would be fab. I want green!

EquinoxEclipse · 23/07/2015 16:49

Is there a way to PM a poster from the new app, does anyone know?

Mummyofonesofar · 23/07/2015 16:28

Lovely that has been there all along!

LovelyFriend · 23/07/2015 16:22

Now there is an orange did beneath the mn icon on my phone. I'm pretty sure that wasn't there before. Haven't figured out what it means yet?

pixieg1rl · 23/07/2015 16:04

I assume red dot means PMs? In which case yes to that too.

Even as it is, much nicer than the old app. Smile

iMum · 23/07/2015 16:01

Posting from the app! All very exciting! But yes deffo flip and red dot :) Grin

pixieg1rl · 23/07/2015 12:37

Righty ho, just a quick test.

I would add a vote for the thread flip, but I'll use the bookmark for now.

Keyboard on iPhone no worse than the old app, but if it could be a wee bit smaller that would be nice

Being able to enhance text on the app will be revolutionary save me a bit of time flipping between the app and Safari

Loveleopardprint · 23/07/2015 12:35

It's not you it's them mimsy!
No flip yet.

MimsyBorogroves · 23/07/2015 12:17

I also need to be able to flip the conversation - I'm assuming that's not possible yet and it's not just me being inept?

MimsyBorogroves · 23/07/2015 12:17

Love the colour choices.

The place of the 'reply' is boggling me a bit...

CinderToffee · 23/07/2015 10:46

The search doesn't seem to work.

Loveleopardprint · 23/07/2015 09:43

I thought my bookmarking was fine but just went onto a very long thread to find that the bookmark has disappeared. So some of mine are working and others aren't.
