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.

We seem to have had some font size bugs that need looking at (particularly with iPhone 6+ people).

If anyone is squinting at tiny text (or indeed engulfed by huge text), could you first double-check your "dynamic type" settings.

To do that, go to your iOS Settings app, then General -> Accessibility -> Larger Text.

If the slider is anywhere from the middle to the right hand side and you're still having font size issues, it'd be much appreciated if you could post your phone model and iOS version here (which you can get from Settings -> General -> About).

Post numbering all gone a bit wrong, also highlighted threads as if there are new posts (in threads I'm on section) when there's no new posts.

Also flip doesn't stay on, not a biggie for beta version but the full version needs this sorted

Fuck me, Pete, but you're good!

Bloody miniscule.

Flisspaps · 10/08/2015 18:09

You've shrunk the bloody font. It's tiny now on my 6+ Hmm

MirandaWest · 10/08/2015 17:18

I find the font is fine on this version Smile

GetTheFudgeOutOfRodge · 10/08/2015 16:57

Ooh yes it has gone all small. I might need my glasses now Blush

pixieg1rl · 10/08/2015 16:52

Ooh, is the font smaller for anyone else on the latest (emoticons fixed) update?

GammonAndEgg · 10/08/2015 16:45

When you flip a thread that you've bookmarked, why does it not show the bookmarked post?

MoralityPlay · 10/08/2015 16:44

The Text size is much better now on my iPhone 6+

My eyes! My eyes !

JustinsBrother · 10/08/2015 16:39

Is the font smaller on the latest update too or are my eyes just knackered ?

RustyBear · 10/08/2015 16:31

Like the flip! GrinStar
And the fact that it now works on ipad WineBrewCake

Hurrah!

petetech · 10/08/2015 16:25

MrsWembly there will be an update to install in order to post with emoticons again, you'll receive a notification/email from Apple soon.

Sharing issue duly noted. We will have a think about what to do about that.

MoralityPlay · 10/08/2015 16:20

The flip is indeed a wonderous thing but if I'm being picky then it would be even better you could choose a default flip. I prefer the latest post to be at the top of the thread. At the moment I have to flip every thread.

MrsWembley · 10/08/2015 16:19

hmm

MrsWembley · 10/08/2015 16:18

Oh and thanks for sorting out the emoticon problem...

Though this just didn't post with grin and wine...

MrsWembley · 10/08/2015 16:15

Ok, while you're about, Pete, could you look at the share option? I'm out at the moment and wanted to mail a linky to my DP, but you're only offering Gmail, FB and Twitter, and that particular thread is definitely not for public consumption!

BeeMyBaby · 10/08/2015 16:07

Very pleased about the flip, I was struggling to use it before.

petetech · 10/08/2015 16:06

Apologies, all. As you've noticed, your posts are failing when they include emoticons.

My fault. I've failed you.

If these emoticons came out ok -> SadConfusedWine
