What is going on with the app on Iphone?

It just took 5 minutes ( not exaggerating) to write 3 lines here then the page reloaded because a problem occurred and it went.

I'm on iPad but on the web page not the app and it’s nearly unusable. I’ve just given up trying to read the Alan thread due to it freezing constantly and also saying I wasn’t logged in when I tried to react to a post.

I want to follow the Sandie Peggie submissions tomorrow, please get this sorted.

Another thing is that I’m getting AIBU posts when I don’t follow it in my settings on both app and mobile site.

Never seen the desktop version so bad. Unusable.

For me it’s not the app I’m using, the website on a browser on my iPhone 13, up to date software etc. freezes constantly, prevents use of other windows on the browser whilst on mumsnet and is unusable at more times that it is usable. It’s been going on for a month I’d say.

iOS update might solve this

Yep, it’s making my iPhone hot too, suddenly. I seem to remember this being a big problem a few years ago…

The new app is rubbish and full of bugs (often new ones appearing as some of the old ones get fixed). I’ve given up on it and deleted it.

Oh, yes - I’ve been reporting the strange proliferation of duplicate posts for at least a week …

Same here.
iPhone is very hot.
Brightness is going up and down.
Constantly crashing.

There are a huge number of duplicate posts on threads too- not sure if this is related to the App issue.

I mostly use the app on the iPad. I’m pretty sure the issues started after the last iOS update. I’m not sure but I think some other apps including safari aren’t behaving as well as they should either.

on a few occasions I’ve had a very bad lag - seemed events are queuing up and not being either processed in a timely manner or discarded.

Now it’s causing my phone to completely freeze when it gets stuck on a page and won’t let me shut it down

All of the above! The overheating when using the app is the most worrying. (iPhone 15, all up to date and working perfectly well outside MN.)

Yep, it’s getting ridiculous now. Constantly freezing too when im scrolling or typing. Ive been on 10 minutes and my phone is burning and battery just gone down by 10%. This happens every few months on mumsnet.

The app is a shocker, whatever team developed the app (internal or third party) should be got rid of and the app started again and designed/developed properly.

Half the issue is the external ads, whilst MN need to maximise revenue, littering the app with adverts is not the way to go. Any half decent developer would see this as a performance issue.

I’d also say any QA/testing undertaken is limited at best.

Phone getting soooo hot for me and draining battery fast as well, what is going on? As soon as I close down the MN app it cools. On iPhone 15, all updates installed.

It’s really awful. The app will freeze, quit and I think ks slowing my phone sown

It absolutely ridiculous how bad the app is and then when I try to use the mobile site instead it won’t load

The issue I find is that following a link - say from an email - doesn’t go to where it’s supposed to.

I get emails - either a sort of popular posts round up or notifications someone has commented on a thread I’ve also commented in - so I click on the link from the email either because the topic has sparked my interest or because I want to know what else has been said on a thread I’m interest in…. and it takes me to a menu of topics/threads - usually none of which are the thread I clicked a link for.

I then have to come out of the app and go back into my emails to click on it again.

also why does it not automatically have a capital letter at the start of a new paragraph as my phone does in every other app?

No problems with the app on my iPhone 🤷‍♀️

Yep! Still happening to me today too.

I’m having this too, phone is bloody burning after a short time of being in the app. Once I swipe off Mumsnet every other app is fine and the phone starts cooling down.

I’m having this issue too! Last night my phone was on charge at 80%, the app kept freezing so i would have to close it down and start again! Then it completely froze on the app wouldn’t even let me come out of it and my screen went black with a little round circle in the middle (like it does when the battery dies). It then came back on and my battery had 1% even though it was on charge and at 80% before. Had to re start my phone and then the MN app wouldn’t even load so I gave up!

I’m not having any problems using the app on my iPhone

I’m having this on my iPad. It’s the number of ads they try and cram on to a page, I’m sure of it. There’s an ad wedged in between every five replies and it’s just too many for the app to cope with.
