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.

Thanks Spotty! Got it now Smile

I have been testing the app from the very beginning and I complained fed back about how rubbish it was not to have the dividing lines between posts.

Guess what? I love it now!

I'm having trouble scrolling on the app. I can scroll fine if I keep moving but when I stop I can only scroll by touching a username. If it's a long post and there's no user name I'm totally stuck and need to exit the thread. Am I missing something?!

Lilaclily · 28/09/2015 20:28

I love it !
Especially the flip button at the top

NappyValleyHippyCrack · 28/09/2015 20:09

Boom back in the room.
I missed MN an unfeasible amount....

iMatter · 28/09/2015 20:05

Thank you thank you thank you.

I have missed the app so much.

Thanks MNerAnon we'll take a look there too

There are unanswered site stuff problems going on, and multiple threads that can't be opened on 30 days only. Can you please look into that (details on 'site stuff' in the past 24hrs). I believe reporting has also not worked there too. Thank you.

Ifiwasabadger bookmarking a post will jump you straight to that post when you return to the thread. It's handy for marking you're place so you don't have to scroll through again.

Hi lonecateithkitten thanks for the heads up we'll take a look into that ASAP

Ifiwasabadger · 28/09/2015 19:06

ok, so i love the new app and am so happy to have an app back.

stupid question alert: when i bookmark certain comments, what happens to them? how do i see them again?

i'm gradually building up to what i had before e.g. favourite topics, watched posts, but have no clue about the bookmarks.

don't make me do bedtime without my one handed MN-apping, i beg you! :)

SpottyTeacakes · 28/09/2015 19:03

Slide the title to the left and the option of watch comes up Smile

overthehill74 · 28/09/2015 18:48

Can someone please tell me how to 'watch' a thread on the new iOS app?? Am I just being dumb (quite likely actually)???

Lonecatwithkitten · 28/09/2015 17:12

I posted on the testing thread. I am not certain that report function is working I have reported two threads from the app.
One is about to go poof as others have reported. The other a piece of blatant advertising which is still there and none of the normal emails fromMNHQ.

CleverPlansAndSecretTricks · 28/09/2015 15:51

I totally love the new app. I find it so easy and pleasant to use and I no longer forget to go back to threads I'm watching because it is so easy to check them. It's so much quicker and more readable than the mobile site. Love the clean uncluttered look. I think everyone should give it a try for a while, the no lines thing is great when you get used to it.

Well done mumsnet!! GrinThanksGrin

prettybird · 28/09/2015 12:03

It's a shame if Mumsnet-Local can't be accessed via the app. It will certainly mean that the Local Boards will continue to suffer from lack of traffic Sad

JessicaMumsnet · 28/09/2015 10:53

No, not just you I'm afraid - we've identified the issue and Tech are working on it now so should be sorted very soon. If it does keep happening please do flag again.

Understood re Hackergate Sad, FWIW the updated app (and test versions) use https to securely transmit information and we don't store extra details or personal info about testers. If you ever change your mind just let us know. Flowers

BitOutOfPractice · 28/09/2015 10:36

It's not hust me is it JessicaMumsnet?

I was reluctant to join in the testing group after hackgate to be honest!

JessicaMumsnet · 28/09/2015 10:24

Hi BitOutOfPractice, sorry to hear you're getting errors when posting - the tech team are looking into that now.

As MrsWembley mentioned we have been doing lots of testing prior to this release and would love you to join that testing group of 500 odd so we can get your thoughts earlier in the process. We're continuing to develop and add features and advanced search and PMs are very much on the list.

Thanks again for your feedback.

MNerAnon · 28/09/2015 10:12

I've been getting a lot of -1001 this weekend, and always on wifi.

BitOutOfPractice · 28/09/2015 10:03

I'm at home with full wifi.

Only1scoop · 28/09/2015 10:00

I only get the 1001 when struggling for wifi 4g etc.

BitOutOfPractice · 28/09/2015 09:58

And I'm not using it. I'm on the mobile site.

BitOutOfPractice · 28/09/2015 09:57

Well they obviously haven't tested it enough.

I'm not complaining about extras or bells and whistles they're adding later, the damn thing simply doesn't work. 50% of my posts get that 1001 message.

It's just so unprofessional and on the back of the hacking it just seems such a shame.

Only1scoop · 28/09/2015 09:56

Thanks Red

MN ....search and PM facilities on the list please.
