I've only been here 4 years and never really used the website. I've just realised you can DIRECT MESSAGE people! Do most of you use the website or the phone app?!

Website.
The app was shit. I couldn't even read all OPs comments and it glitches like hell

PlipPlapPlop · 16/06/2024 23:28

Website. Don’t like the app, plus I’d cringe at anyone seeing the MN app on my phone 🤷🏼‍♀️

Website on my laptop, app on my phone.

Website.

Website.
The App isn't very good.

I didn't realise how amazing the website is compared to the app. It's going to be a struggle getting used to it. Feels very 2010. I love it.

Website- I wouldn’t want people to see the app and it seems there are lots of functions not available on it.

AlltheFs · 16/06/2024 23:37

Website on phone, the app is shite.

SwordToFlamethrower · 16/06/2024 23:43

Only from my phone. I absolutely hate this app. Can't do anything but read and comment, even making a brand new post only works 40% of the time. Can't thank or see thanks, can't look at op replies. I never k ow if anyone has replied to me, and can't see messages.

CJ0374 · 16/06/2024 23:45

Website. Never tried accessing it from my phone.

Have you not got access to a computer/laptop?

FrothyCothy · 16/06/2024 23:50

Website on my phone.

CodenamePliskin · 17/06/2024 00:15

website is better as can save the whole thread as a hard copy to the hard drive to read as and when

pizzaHeart · 17/06/2024 00:18

Website, both on my phone and on the laptop.

XenoBitch · 17/06/2024 00:23

Website on my laptop

ErrolTheDragon · 17/06/2024 00:28

I mostly use the app on my iPad because (now being longsighted) it's much clearer to read.
But I use the website if I want to to anything it doesn't support. It doesn't have to be an either/or.

Rarely use it on my phone.

AbraAbraCadabra · 17/06/2024 00:44

I use the app on my phone. Don't have any problems with it.

Grendell · 17/06/2024 00:47

Website on a desk top computer while I'm eating meals because I have never seen any disgusting or unappetizing ad or image pop up without warning.

Linnet · 17/06/2024 00:47

Website on iPad, app on phone. I don’t really like the app as you can’t look at all the OP posts like you can on the website version. But sometimes I like to read mumsnet on my lunch break so I do that on my phone

Is your phone an android? You can filter the OPs posts in the app on iPad and iPhone.

Devilsmommy · 17/06/2024 01:00

App on my phone but if someone private messages me then I just open the browser on my phone

Vergeofbreakdown23 · 17/06/2024 01:00
