If I update to the new Mumsnet app will I regret it? (Apple)

[tobee]

Just that.

Bump

yes but you don’t have much choice

Well I don’t - it’s an improvement imo!

If they alter what it looks like, probably not. Otherwise yes. I’m back on the website mostly

Yes I'm delaying my update for as long as possible.

Im usually an early adopter but I just don't know if I want to update right now. I want these things to be an upgrade.

Hopefully I'll be agreeing with @MarjorieDanvers when I have to.

Yessss, I can’t get my head around it and I’ve had 269684 emails since

I don’t really like it

Yes mine forced an update yesterday and now I’ve deleted it completely. It’s terrible.

It’s not as good as before.

Yes you’ll regret it.

Agree with the above, the update feels really “cheap” and clunky to use now. I definitely haven’t being using Mumsnet as much since I was forced to update (Apple).

Yes, you’ll regret it! Wait as long as you can.

Thanks for the replies.

Allowing for the fact that (maybe?) people are more likely to post if they have negative opinions, it sounds like I should definitely hold off.

I daresay there are some likers out there somewhere?

No. Its fine once you get used to it.

Mine updated itself a few days ago. I prefer it.

I prefer it

I think it’s far better! You can vote on AIBU and you can “Thank” people, which is handy when you like what someone said but you don’t want to add a pointless post saying so.

Mine also auto updated, no choice in it. I don't mind the new version but it does have a lot of ads. But I usually use my lap top and have Premium so not really a problem (I'm sure I could log in with the same username etc on my phone to get Premium but I CBA, I only tend to look on my phone when waiting in a car park for DD).

I don’t like the new version and it’s putting me off using it sadly.

I’ve got it - my phone auto updates. I don’t mind it! It’s a bit different but you can vote. Also easier to see quote responses (they’re nested!) so not a negative.

I moved over to the app to avoid the annoying ad / disable ad blocker thing. And I much prefer the new one. It’s way clearer / cleaner than before. I like the new features too, eg thanks

It’s annoying how there are 2 clicks to reverse the threads ie the arrows no longer work…

Personally I don’t like it and wish I could have stayed using the old version. It’s clunky in my opinion and I don’t like the way there are more steps to ‘flip’ a thread.
I'm not using the site as much as a result.
It’s a shame we can’t go back to the old one.
Hopefully I’ll get used to it eventually. Or I’ll just give up and stop using Mumsnet 🤷‍♀️

And when you do, instead of getting the newest post at the top, you have to scroll past the opening post to find it. Maybe not a biggie on a large screen but flipping annoying on a phone!

Agree! Why the double click though, that’s not an improvement on the previous version.
