How do I rewind to the old app! Just can’t get on with this.

I want to see the latest posts first. But I can’t see that option.

Yay! We got the flip back for OPs posts! 👏

Not on iPhone app I don’t.

JaneJeffer · 02/04/2025 11:06

@BeckyAMumsnetthe MN emojis aren’t appearing on the app but can be seen on the mobile site

JaneJeffer · 01/04/2025 14:27

Now we’ve got disappearing emojis on the app?

I still can’t get on with the new format. I can’t see where the latest post is. I don’t like the colour changes. Awful

I see the flip has been fixed which is great! Could we also get the flip back when filtering by OP posts only? Real pain having to scroll all the way to the end, particularly when OP has posted a lot

wherearemypastnames · 21/03/2025 13:23

The colours problem hasn’t been fixed - stay with the black and orange Halloween colours

The flip is still the annoying two-step process on mine…

Show quote history

from reading other threads I think it’s only rolled out to the iOS app so far. Hope it comes to you soon too.

Ooh you fixed the flip! Thank you @BeckyAMumsnet et al! Is the colour sorted too? I am still on the iPhone black /orange invert so can’t tell.

Not being able to select text is rubbish - not only for quoting a small amount of a long post, but also for being able to look up words/names easily.

bookmarks seem to be a law unto themselves, and paragraphs aren’t capitalising the first letter <—-

the old app wasn’t great, but it was better than this mess. I’m now finding I’m reluctant to open Mumsnet, which is good for my productivity I suppose!

Same regarding reluctance to open mn

@mumsnetis there a way to remove threads that have been deleted from your watchlist? It just gives me an error message. Thanks

I would like to know this too - there is a thread in mine that has been deleted and I am unable to unwatch or remove it from my list - if I select unwatch, I receive an error message and there doesn’t seem to be any other way to remove it.

@HebeMumsnet
@BeckyAMumsnet

Are you able to help?

cinnamongirl123 · 19/03/2025 18:56

Agree with comments above - I preferred the old app

HowToBuy · 19/03/2025 18:47

Oh, another thing I really dislike… you used to be able to click on ‘Active’ or ‘I’m On’ etc twice and it would bring you to the top of the series of threads.

Am I missing something that I now need to scroll alllll the way back up to refresh the thread?

joshingaround · 19/03/2025 18:25

I hate:

  1. white background, makes my eyes hurt
  2. flip now needs extra clicks
  3. flip OP’s posts is now impossible
Norugratsatall · 19/03/2025 10:18

I quite like it except for the ‘flip to newest comments first’ as mentioned by a pp, two actions now needed and I use this feature a lot. The white background is a little harsh but I’ve got used to it. It’s nice to be able to vote but suspect the novelty will wear off.

I've now turned off notifications because I'm getting repeatedly notified of old posts on threads I'm watching

I had to do the same my phone was constantly pinging

HowToBuy · 18/03/2025 16:38

Ohhhh, was hoping for this thread! I’m really not vibing with the new app.

I hate the way you can no longer just ‘flip’ the thread. You used to just press the arrows and it would bring you to the latest posts. Now youve to select the arrows, choose Newest First, and it still comes up under the OP and just isn’t as user friendly as before.

like above, you now can’t ‘flip’ if you’ve filtered by OP posts only. It was so easy to filter by OP and just flip to their last post… now that’s not even an option anymore! It’s a pain.

Dont like how the bottom nav (Active | I’m On etc) disappears when you’re in a thread now, used to be able to easily toggle over and back.

The primarily white background, as opposed to the old blue, is garish and hurts my eyes!

Im sure there’s more… but I’m really not loving the updated version

Runawaaybaby · 18/03/2025 10:54

i dont like that as im scrolling on my phone, i either hit an advert that opens in my safari, or i scroll down and it pops up the comment bar - it's highly inconvenient as i usually use this app when ive been woken during the night.

Moier · 18/03/2025 09:40

You can just use the Internet and not an App.. that's easy to navigate .

I think I’ll withdraw, it’s too difficult now to follow a thread. Really don’t I set stand why they had to change things. If it ain’t broke, leave it alone.

UnpropitiousNightmares · 18/03/2025 04:06

Also commenting to say how much I dislike the new changes I've seen so far.
The white background is the worst one of all quickly followed by the changes to the reverse thread function.
