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

Spotted one possible issue, can't you stop people being able to "share" posts from OTBT? That would be a worry.

Hi just tried it. I like the look and the strike through is good not so sure about italics I like that you see instantly what you do. how do links do oh I like that I can correct typos in my link as I go along. I like the spell check.
I found the book mark after someone told me- I would really need a tutorial or help.
For some people's names the date and time disappears.

Thanks BadRoly, that's really enlightening (shit, I spend A LOT of time dicking about on Twitter)

Go into settings, general, usage and then battery usage - after a little delay it brings everything up

Interesting comments on battery use. I have noticed my battery going down quicker than usual in the last couple of weeks but hadn't drawn the connection (yes, how do you find that out, it would be interesting to know). Is it maybe to do with the beta-testing-ness of the app and lots of info going back on usage etc?

Loveleopardprint if you swipe the thread name to the left you get the hide option, but it's not working properly for me. It hides it until you refresh and then it shows up again.

Done

Is it possible to hide a topic? I can't find out how to do it. Thanks.

Love the ease of editing and adding pics - makes it a pleasure to use. I'm another wondering if it's power hungry though...

Can't wait to see it fully functional. And with a flip - really missing that. An option to go to first unread post would be bloody marvellous too. Flying pigs

Forgot to add the picture! Does this work??

I like the app in general. But I need to be able to flip the thread, it's confusing me!

I like seeing pics, haven't added one yet but will try that here I don't mind the text editor button but for me I think the * are just as quick or quicker - probably a familiarity thing though.

I'm finding it hard to spot my own posts even though I've tried a couple of colours - my eyesight isn't fantastic though - limited field of vision and periodic colour blindness - so it might just be down to that. Having the whole post have a less saturated background of the same colour would help, if possible?

I've not checked TIO today but yesterday it was in a random order (alphabetical?! Literally no idea otherwise!), I prefer it with most recently changed threads being at the top of the list like it is on the main site.

I really miss access to messages, please add access or explain to me how to get to them.

Great improvement on the existing app though

Hello, I've been using the app, sorry I've not commented before I didn't see this thread.
I really like it for the most part. I like that all comments are on the one page. Replying is easy. I like the faces / symbols etc showing in the message pane.
I would like if the whole of the OPs message was a different colour. As if I am skim reading a thread I'll often just scroll to the OPs comments and but they are slightly more difficult to see this way.
I've not noticed it draining my battery but I'll check that the next time I use it as I've had my phone die unexpectedly a few times and that could be a reason.
Overall though - I like it and would download and use hourly

I'm a late responder. I've been using the app for the last couple of weeks.

I find it easy to use, however I don't like how long it takes to scroll to the most recent comments on longer threads.

I agree the bar at the top could be a little smaller.

But in general it's a nice to use app.

How do you check battery usage for apps?

Have you fiddled with TIO? Mine appears to now have the most recent I've posted on at the top?

That is much better, thank you

Have we mentioned that there is no access to messages on new AP. Pretty sure you could on the old one?

In general I really like the app. But it is an absolute battery sucker as others have said. MN Talk accounts for 61% of my usage in the last 24 hours and I've only really been active on it this morning.

Thanks MNHQ

Love the app but it is really, really power-hungry. It makes reading / posting for more than 10 minutes impossible if you are out and about.

Oh, ffs!!

Went back to read the thread ^^ and my post is now there, inexplicably timed and amongst many others with a completely random time order!!

it's broken!

I wrote a fabulous, loooong post on a thread and it never appeared and then after refreshing and refreshing, I got loads of posts with the wrong time and date and mine was... NOWHERE!!!!!

After using it for a while I think the app really needs flip, PM, and to search keywords.

I haven't noticed any bugs or negative use on battery life, personally.

If I delete this app, can I get it back again? I only ask because I'm having real problems connecting to the apple app store, and after looking on loads of forums, it could be this app that's caused the issue, as it's the last thing I downloaded before it started.

I've been testing for several days now and I am finding it much easier than using the mobile site.

Love the ease of doing strikeout and all the other stuff with the simple click of a button so easy to add photos as well!!

One thing would be when you're in a thread and it says the board name at the top e.g "relationships" if you could nip to that topic by clicking rather than having to go through topics list again.
