Android testing

Is anyone else a tester for the android app and finding that they can't select a thread in a topic? In Chat, for example, the topics just seem to self-select at random, once I have chosen the first thread to read.

When I click on a thread title in threads I'm on, it's actually taking me to the thread listed above it in the list.

RaspberryOverloadTheFirst · 12/12/2016 16:52

OK, I've tried to install, but on clicking the link in the email, it just goes to my browser then nothing.
It's only on now reading this thread that I realised it failed to download because I was already logged in on the phone.

I've now managed to download and login.

I take it back. it just screwed up an op for my post. gahh

Ive just got it going on my S7, loading an APK was a pain but now im up and in business. .First impression ls are its a tad clunky but much better that using the website ..So far so good!

I've noticed that it always crashes when you have scrolled to the end of a thread and the big ad comes up at the bottom.

Aderyn2016 · 06/12/2016 22:52

I can't get it to install. My phone wont let me install 3rd party apps, only stuff from playstore.

Add you can see from my screenshot, the text is hiding behind the white bit. I have had to come on to my phone's browser to do this as I can't work out how to upload photos. HTC One M9.

I have just logged on to the new version. I have tried hiding the threads that I an not interested in but when I refresh the page they come back again! Another thing is that, as a pp said above, the text hides behind a big white strip so I can't see what I'm typing...

PingPongBat · 06/12/2016 22:39

IAmAPaleontologist yes I've noticed the same thing. And its still crashing too much to be usable, so I've stopped using it. And if i try to post a comment of more than about 5 lines (which isn't much on a phone) then the text box disappears behind the keyboard and you can't get it to scroll so you can see it. Which means I can't see what I'm typing Hmm

Sorry MN but unless it's more stable you won't get any more testing from me Sad

I'm using a Samsung A3 (2015)

marsybum · 06/12/2016 22:13

Keeps crashing for me too, won't let me post either, not liking it so far, I also dont like the lack of basic things like a search function. In addition my phone (pixel) has crashed a couple of times and the only thing that's new is the app, so I think I'll be removing it

IAmAPaleontologist · 06/12/2016 10:56

I've updated but my app still doesn't seem to be in real time. Eg threads I'm on are not up to date with posts, if I click on active convos then the first thread I the list below the sticky threads is one from last night. Does anyone else get this?

PingPongBat · 06/12/2016 08:11

MN do you know what device we're using when we feedback via the app?

ScarletOverkill · 05/12/2016 18:39

Prior to the new update it was forever crashing. I shall wait to see how it goes now. The highlighting of names is OK. I prefer the highlighting of the whole post on the mobile site

Anticyclone · 05/12/2016 18:31

My app just updated to the new version - I'm excited to have a working back button! Grin

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your feedback so far it has been very helpful!
It's still in working progress but we have managed to fix some of the bugs mentioned and we will be sending you all an update very soon.Flowers

All the best,
Elizaveta (MNHQ)

MrsGlam · 05/12/2016 10:50

Ignore me I found the email! Using it now!

IAmAPaleontologist · 05/12/2016 10:15

I'm giving up for now, sorry HQ. It crashes all the time and if it isn't crashing then it isn't up to date anyway. I have the Christmas bargain thread open on the android app right now and the most recent post it shows is yesterday 21:58, opening the thread on the mobile site the latest post is today 10:07. If I use the android app I'll be having some very strange conversations!

MrsGlam · 05/12/2016 09:13

I havent had my email to download the app yet?

PingPongBat · 04/12/2016 22:50

Another tester here. I managed to install it but it keeps crashing every few minutes.

oldsilver I got both emails - have you asked MN for a resend of the instructions email? If not I'll paste it in here.

paleontologist I noticed the formatting problems too - my smileys typed on the iPad app are all coming up as stars on the android app.

oldsilver · 04/12/2016 10:29

Tester her as well. Did anyone get an instructions email not just the download here one?

PrancerForHoney · 04/12/2016 09:47

I'm a tester. Have it installed, so far it's OK when I remember to use the app!Blush

IAmAPaleontologist · 01/12/2016 20:30

Formatting doesn't seem to work between apps iykwim.

So the posts people do on the android app for example show up with the line breaks as br/ or however they are done.

KnockMeDown · 01/12/2016 20:19

To be honest , I think it still has a way to go . It just doesn't feel very finished or polished to me yet .

Mandatorymongoose · 01/12/2016 19:52

I am not a tester but I am excited we've got as far as testing at last! Even if there are a few bugs to iron out.
