Unless I'm on the desktop like now.
I'm on Android, have re installed the app etc.
Not sure what's going on, it's been happening all day

Can't even get on it now!! Took me ages to open this thread!! iPhone App
Driving. Me. Mad!

AuntieMarys · 28/01/2020 10:55

Same here ballsdeep

I've been thinking for a while that they maybe need to rebuild the app from scratch - it's generally quite buggy. I imagine it's how most people access the forums, too. Needs a redesign to be easier to quote existing posts, search through posts etc. The iPhone version is ok, but the Android one isn't great (I can never manage to produce paragraphs when I use it).

I've been having the connection problems too, though not as bad as some people here seem to be!

CinderEmma · 28/01/2020 09:28

I find it's only on an evening that I have any problems

ballsdeep · 27/01/2020 22:49

It's been absolutely dreadful for the past few days and is getting worse.
I keep getting kicked out of threads and asked to log in, then my log in details aren't recognised and I'm logged in all along!!!!!

Nomorelaundry · 27/01/2020 22:42

It's fine during the day. Come 7pm it's horrendous.

TokyoSushi · 27/01/2020 22:08

Can hardly even get this thread to load! It's been absolutely dreadful the last few days, worse than ever - if that's even possible!

Love Mumsnet, hate the app!

iPad app - really problematic tonight

Oopsinamechangedagain2020 · 27/01/2020 21:51

On the iPhone app. Tonight is really bad. Slow at loading threads and slow at bookmarking.

PennyRoyal · 27/01/2020 21:44

Tonight is worse than ever. Says I have not internet connection, but I do! Took 5 mins to see anything, then another 2-3 mins for thread titles to load and more to actually open a thread.
iPhone up to date iOS and up to date app.

TwoPointFourKidsAndADog · 27/01/2020 21:42

It's painfully slow at loading and posting too. I've never known it this bad!

TwoPointFourKidsAndADog · 27/01/2020 21:41

Yep, it's as bad as ever. Tried to log in at 21:35 tonight and the first thread said my connection was failed.

IPhone 7 with iOS 13.3, everything up to date app wise.

FawnDrench · 27/01/2020 21:40

It's bloody terrible tonight - on Ipad app.
Slow and sluggish, threads won't load etc.
Constant oops message, and it's definitely not my wi-fi.
Took me ages to get on this one "live".

RosieCockle · 27/01/2020 21:33

I get this all the time. iPhone. No problem with WiFi on other apps.

AuntieMarys · 27/01/2020 21:28

Nightmare. Android...have uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it is still shocking. Bad connection message.

Luaa · 27/01/2020 21:25

Mine has been months now. It started with bad connection message when clicking on some threads, then I couldn't open any topics unless they were my favourite topics, could only go to active threads and I couldn't start threads.

I'm on the app on an android device

TabbyStar · 27/01/2020 21:03

Tonight seems even worse.

JaneJeffer · 27/01/2020 21:01

Any joy?

Hi, thanks for all the reports. We're taking another look at this and will be in touch if we have any updates. Thanks for your patience. Flowers

YellowJellyfish · 27/01/2020 10:51

Yup seems to be getting worse no matter what time of day. I was on at 1am. Still had the error message!!

iPhone app

Runnerduck34 · 27/01/2020 09:20

Yes I get that message frequently on the app, or the threads flash up for a second then the screen goes completely white ( no error message) very frustrating, never happens on pc, so I think the app is a bit flaky. I'm using an android phone ( pixel).

SittingontheSidelines · 27/01/2020 08:11

iOS App on iPhone. Keeps telling me I've no connection. I have everything else works fine.

Seeline · 27/01/2020 07:29

I wanted to post last night but things were so bad I gave up.

Active threads wouldn't load, then the thread wouldn't load and then it wouldn't let me post.

Yes, it is always far worse in the evenings, but problems do occur at other times.

All my other apps work without any issues.

Android app on Motorola phone.

PickwickThePlockingDodo · 26/01/2020 22:36

It's pretty unusable now.......
