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.

I am a tester, but I haven't installed the app. After the problems MN has keeping basic things on the website working, I really don't trust them to put together a competent app that won't work my phone.

I had to remove my old talk app which was still hanging around on my phone . Haven't had the issues with the threads that others have reported . Would be interested to know how it compares to the iPhone app .

Oh and this evening it just keeps saying it has stopped working and closing down. I'm back on the iPad rather than my phone.

I am excited but the progress though, hopefully it is just a few bugs to iron out. Thank you lovely MNHQ and the Tech lot for bringing back and android app.

Yes I have the same thing, random threads open.

Plus they are not up to date, they are several hours behind.

When more than one photo is posted you can only see the first one and not the rest.

Links show up as the whole long link randomly placed in the sentence instead of a nice clicky word (and I've checked on the iPad app and they are nice clicky words on there so isn't that they have been posted that way)

I don't mind the layout though. Not quite as nice as the iPad app though.

I'm the same as judy I click on a threqd8, but it loads a different one up. Same as what was happening before the update

I have also been asked to test, but can't even get it to install, so you are ahead of me!!
