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.

Hi all. A few answers based on your questions and feedback so far:

Flip thread is coming soon - please bear with us.

Bookmarking is in here - we'd like to know how easy it is for you to find. Wink

There is no preview because you can see what your post looks like as you type, including formatting and smileys.

Thanks for all the comments so far. We're listening with interest to all your feedback, and will check out the things you say aren't working.

We'll be in touch to get your direct feedback later on.

More sign up spots available. And invites will continue to go out at intervals.

Thanks for testing. Smile

Not quite sure what's happened to Flip but someone should be along soon to explain. It will definitely be there for launch though...

Invitations will start going out early next week.

We still want more of you to sign up!

@AlpacaMyBags

Will we be able to see pics in this version?

I believe so.

Love how Mumsnetters are so clever and work things out. Star

To summarise the problem solving:

  1. Link to the form from the main site, through a browser (not the current Talk app).
  1. You must be logged in before linking, or you will just see the MN Hompage. (Nothing to do with iOS8 at this stage.)
  1. The email you put in the form doesn’t need to be your Mumsnet login.
  1. This sign up is not connected to your Mumsnet account - just where we send the invitation. Once you’ve downloaded the Talk app, you will log in to that with your regular username/password.
  1. The test app will only work for iOS8

Some of your suspicions about the new app might be correct…

Thanks to all who have signed up already. Still room for more on board.
