Latest Talk app update for iOS

110 replies

RebeccaMumsnet · 10/10/2016 09:20

Morning all,

Early this morning we released an update for our iOS Talk app and thought we'd give you a heads-up about it.

There is now a search function so you can now search every thread on Mumsnet Talk from within the app.

This update also includes bug fixes for a number of issues that were reported by you - thanks for your feedback.

Let us know what you think and thanks for all of you feedback so far.

Do we need to log out and back in to get the highlighting back? Agree search without filters isn't hugely useful.

cozietoesie · 12/10/2016 17:55

And with that - and going to another board - it crashed. First one post update, though.

cozietoesie · 12/10/2016 17:53

Well done. Smile That was real irritating, that one.

Oh also cozietoesie - I've just fixed the issue where threads weren't being set as unread when new posts were added. Sorry about that!

The fix will be released probably within a week, with some other fixes.

Phew! Grin

cozietosie regarding the search filtering - that's something we've intentionally left out for now. We need to have some data on usage before we can consider adding other features - so it's still a bit crude, but will improve.

At some stage soon, we're going to try improve the default order, so that more recent results are prioritised - currently the results are prioritised mostly by popularity (even if they're a decade old)

Glad you like it! Sometimes we're able to add small fixes with other releases, that was one of them. Let me know if you see anything funky when rotating to the new orientation.

Hey guys, thanks for downloading the update - I'm just waiting for new crash reports be collected (takes around 12 hours), then I can figure out what else is breaking.

Every time the app crashes, the app sends me a report to help with fixing the issue. Although sometimes it's not exactly helpful...

So for now we don't need to worry about asking for device etc cozie

cozietoesie · 12/10/2016 16:32

It's been behaving itself so far.

I guess - given that Tech can't seemingly replicate the crashes - that we're down to the old 'what device etc' and ' how you're using the app' questions. Sad

Only1scoop · 12/10/2016 16:27

Twice since update how about you?

Only1scoop · 12/10/2016 16:26

'Crashing' whoops

cozietoesie · 12/10/2016 16:22

As frequently, Only?

Only1scoop · 12/10/2016 16:21

Still cracking here

FleshEmoji · 12/10/2016 16:14

My iPad works upside down! Yay!

poppopp · 12/10/2016 16:13

Just crashed aggh

cozietoesie · 12/10/2016 16:08

No crashes here so far. Fingers crossed.

cozietoesie · 12/10/2016 14:21

Well, there are still some issues. I haven't found any filtering mechanism on the Search function yet. (Doesn't mean it's not there somewhere, of course.) By date seems to be the critical one, I reckon.

I have a vague memory that Tech are aware of the highlighting issue and will be addressing it in some future update. (Happy to be corrected on that.) In the interim, I guess we just have to enter threads to see if they've been posted on. (Where recall of post numbers isn't enough.)

Only1scoop · 12/10/2016 13:55

Cozie thank you very much I've just found that.
MN can you sort out this thread high light issue....
I've spent the last 2 days feeling like the new thread killer on the block Confused

cozietoesie · 12/10/2016 13:49

PS - it's not there when you're within a board as far as I recall.

cozietoesie · 12/10/2016 13:47

Are you getting the little magnifying glass near the top right, Only? That's the 'Search' function.

HSMMaCM · 12/10/2016 13:41

No, still not showing me which posts have new entries either. Put the kettle on again Brew

Only1scoop · 12/10/2016 13:37

Too early to comment on crashing

Only1scoop · 12/10/2016 13:36

Same here updated again

No high lighted posts and no much wanted 'search'Sad

poppopp · 12/10/2016 13:29

I've updated, it's still not highlighting watched threads with new posts.
