Hi Folks,
Our new Talk app is now live in the App Store. If you used the old app and didn't delete it then it should auto-update (depending on your settings) but otherwise you can download it from the app store.

This is a obviously a first live version - we plan to keep updating it, adding new features and addressing any user issues, so all feedback is most welcome.

Plus, we are planning to build an Android version too in the next few months - thanks for your patience re that Android users - we'll keep you updated on the progress and will be looking for Android testers in due course.

To refresh you need to:

  1. Go back to top of thread
  2. Pull down screen at top of the thread

You will see the wheel turn while it reloads.

Android will be later, it's been discussed on various "new app" threads in recent weeks. **

There is no way to see DoD or trending, or to PM. The search function and PM's are possibly coming later but MN wanted people to get used to the basic app first, before adding in these extras (they're inviting suggestions for their consideration).

HTH.

Oh and also how do you pm someone?

knittedslippersx2 · 02/10/2015 13:02

Is there a refresh button for threads and for active convos? I can't find discussion of the day and trending. Other than that it's great!

madein1995 · 02/10/2015 10:44

Hi, just wondering, is the new app available on android or is it just on Apple? If it's just on Apple when will it be released on android?

Really really don't like the banner threads that punctuate every few posts. They're intrusive and itritating to the point that I stop reading - defeats tge object of advertising really. I can't be alone in thinking this.

Kettricken · 01/10/2015 18:44

I love it! Only thing I would change is when I've read a thread for it to change colour and stay changed so I don't waste my time looking at threads I've seen. At the moment the colour change reverts back when there is a new reply.

hollyisalovelyname · 30/09/2015 18:13

Great app.
Well DoneThanks

LyndaNotLinda · 29/09/2015 22:20

I really like it - so much faster than the old one and really clean layout.

Thanks Smile

MumOfOne14 · 29/09/2015 21:14

Just the search needs improvement. I typed in breastfeeding with nothing coming up. HmmI want to read old threads to save me repeating what someone else has already asked. That's all really Smile

SheSellsSanctuary · 29/09/2015 21:08

I love it!!!! So glad to have an
App again. Thanks Tech! Grin

MumOfOne14 · 29/09/2015 21:07

Love the new app!! I gave up on the old one, so relieved this has come now!! Great Job!!! Grin

overthemill · 29/09/2015 20:58

If it's the same as the one on the iPad that has just appeared after you closed it (jeffreygate) then it's bloody awful! Far too few background colour choices - all much too dark to read text on properly on 'home' page. Can't see which have been updated. In 'I'm on' the posts are all in random order not the most recently updated at top if page and you still can't bloody bookmark a thread!! Such crap

AFewGoodWomen · 29/09/2015 15:32

Odd that one cannot hide MN's threads at the top of the Active list.

@cellnev

As a previous poster said the search function isn't as good as the old one. If the word I'm trying to type doesn't match the suggested words I can't search for it. It's very frustrating!!!!

Hi there, just to clarify the search is currently only a topic search rather than advanced search. Advanced search is on the list for a future update.

Calliou thanks for the info. I will look into it.

If anyone else is an iOS 7 user and noticed similar problems to Calliou, would be very grateful to hear from you with your device model and iOS version.

Calliou · 29/09/2015 11:09

Thanks. It's iphone 5c IOS version 7.0.4

I can scroll posts horizontally by username (not sure why that's useful?) but can't scroll up and down between posts if I take my finger off the screen. Odd.

PeteTech · 29/09/2015 10:53

Calliou could you let me know your device model and the version of iOS that you're using? We haven't seen any other reports of this kind of issue, so we'll have to try and reproduce your problem here in the office. Thanks a lot.

PeteTech · 29/09/2015 10:52

We've looked into reporting posts this morning, and there is indeed a problem which is being looked at.

It's a server problem, so it'll be fixed without any update of the app required.

I'll post back here when it's fixed. Thanks very much for your patience in the mean time.

PeteTech · 29/09/2015 10:26

MNerAnon yes, the posting problems should be sorted now. Have asked the relevant person if the broken threads can possibly be cleared up, but you can safely ignore them for the time being.

TiddlesUpATree · 29/09/2015 09:50

The app looks really nice. Some lovely features especially the original posters name highlighted in a different colour. Haven't read all of this thread so apologies if someone has already put this down. Would be great to have a search function.

Calliou · 29/09/2015 09:43

Any ideas on the weird scrolling thing? It's driving me potty.

Did you manage to take a look yesterday? I went to the threads in question but find nothing has changed Confused

happystory · 29/09/2015 07:34

Loving the app! Hated the website and was hardly using mumsnet. So nice to have it back.
