Would you pay to go ad-free on the Talk App?

I'm already broke. The chances of me paying to access Mumsnet in any way, shape or form are zero.

I love the ads. Got this one in Relationships earlier. Perfectly targeted.

If you want to charge for the app you need to first actually make it a premium service rather than as currently, inferior to the browser version.

Extra emoticons which presumably everyone could see but only app customers could use seems like a weird idea. Is that even possible? Would they be immune from c&ping? and what more than and could we possibly want?

No. I use the app out of preference, but given that it's not fully functional (no advanced search or messaging, and prone to mucking up markup with no preview available) I'd just switch back to using the browser for everything.

I deleted the app on my android phone because its functionality was so poor. So I don't even use it for free.
And saying it would give is extra emoticons does make it sound like you think we are kids.

When it changed to have a massive ad come up after the OP each time (on my phone - mobile site), I started only using MN in an ad-blocking browser. It cost me nothing. So no!

additional emoticons seems the most pointless 'paid for' addition, when you can use the entire global emoji set anyway 😕

No.

Why are MNHQ investing in unwanted and unnecessary things like "additional emoticons" for a paid app, when you haven't fixed the advanced search option.

I tell you what people might pay for.... the ability to edit their posts...

Not a chance

I would pay to avoid ads, but I'd have to get used to using the app first as I don't like it compared to the mobile site.

No - I wouldn't pay.

I find the ads annoying and it would deter me from using the site as frequently as I do now.

@TimMumsnet I'm also getting full screen video ads on the app, but only since yesterday. Here's a screenshot.

I'd happily pay something to go ad-free and access additional features but

• I'm an android user
• I prefer not to use apps generally. I use a browser on my phone. I only install apps if they have very minimal "permissions" and wouldn't install the app if the permissions would allow personnel at mnhq to link my username with my real life ID
• I would only pay anything at all if I could do so without linking my mn account to my real life ID. As most payment methods don't achieve this I'm not sure how this would be possible.
• I'd rather have an annual or one-off fee than a monthly fee. I think I'd pay £20 for a year's access to the privileged zone.

After consideration the only things which might make me think about paying would be:

Ability to filter each thread to see individual replies/just OPs posts

Ability to search for all of an individuals posts

Advanced search options

However, I really wouldn't want to pay very much for it at all.

@HappyLoneParentDay oh, that's weird. All I've ever had is the banners that I scroll straight past.

I don't have the app or iOS anyway but no, I wouldn't be happy to pay. I hate paying for apps and actively avoid the ones that charge. As for the ads, I use duck duck go and don't get any.

No, I would just stop using this site (as others have said). Wouldn't be a bad thing, the amount of time I waste on here lately!

No.

I've always seen so much support for this on other threads but seems not on this one I wouldn't pay it as I barely get any ads on the app.

@BalloonDinosaur I've started getting full screen video ads on the app now! Just started today. Now that's intrusive!!!?

Isn't it coincidental how the day after this thread is posted, I've started getting full screen video-ads on the iOS app?!?!

Nope. Don't find the ads on the app intrusive and so will continue to ignore them.

Also at people having an issue with 'guys'

No
