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.

My I'm on page is all out of sync. Seems to be just random rather than last one with a reply.

Here is the new app on my ipad, for eg. You can either choose 'real' size, or zoom in so it fills the screen

When i use an iphone app on my ipad, it zooms it in to take up the whole screen, making the text humongous.

So if you're using a 6+, i guess it does the same thing? Maybe?

Loveleopardprint · 20/07/2015 15:56

iPhone 6+ here. Font is large but I don't mind it. Find it easier to read tbh

You can swipe your first pic across to view the second one

Hmm it's not my settings, i think it may be because I have an iphone 6 plus (get me!) Anyone else also getting large font?

How do I hide topics??

Silverturnip · 20/07/2015 15:23

Testing here too. Smile

GoblinMother · 20/07/2015 15:16

Me neither. I'm on an iPhone 6+.

JustineMumsnet · 20/07/2015 15:08

That's funny - it's not for me - must be my individual settings... will check out

I think the font is a bit big, too - the font size on the mobile site is perfect IMO. Smile

BeyondTheWall · 20/07/2015 14:55

Possible problem here?

My report went through, but seems to have gone as spam even though I didn't click the spam button?

The font seems a good side to me, easy to read

JustineMumsnet · 20/07/2015 14:43

the font seems a bit large to me? is that just me?

Hq posts are blue too

Twentyninedays · 20/07/2015 14:21

I like the coloured highlights for OP and my posts. I don't mind either way whether they are more coloured or less.

I think you are quite right to keep the background white for the majority of a thread. Many people have eye conditions which make reading on colour background a bit more difficult.

Loveleopardprint · 20/07/2015 14:20

I've never managed that before on my mobile Grin

Just seeing if I can post a link

GoblinMother · 20/07/2015 14:12

I've just noticed that topics I have hidden on the mobile and desktop sites don't seem to be synced with the new app and are appearing in active. I can't see a way to hide them in the app - am I being stupid?!
