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

[tobee]

Just that.

It is much easier to read though (but that’s a bit annoying because now my kids can see all the moany threads I’m on!). It’s not as incognito as before when they sneak up on me.

Mine just updated automatically. I’m not keen on the app, the arrow flip thing is annoying but mn doesn’t work on any browser anymore.

The new one isn’t too bad at least you can edit now, although for some reason it feels less readable.

I hate the new app.

Yes I don’t like it but didn’t have a choice as it automatically updated

Yes it’s awful again like others mine updated without me knowing I hate the layout of it awful.

I like the new app in general. It’s taken a few days for me to come round to it (an Old Gimmer writes).

Bit stary with the bright white background (can I change that does anyone know?). But agree - the voting and the liking are pluses. The flipping is a minus.

Hate it.

I’m a lover

not sure why so many moaning about it 😛😛

I was on the trial of it and loved it and solved many issues for me

nice that can on the app

thank

It’s way too bright and the layout is horrible compared to how it was

Yes I’ve had eleventy billion notifications

You can do all of this without the app

But now they've stuffed up the browser version for some of us. Some of us have been enrolled in a stupid test which doesn't allow you to see pages. It's a nightmare.

So if you come out of the app and find yourself confused, you may be part of the test. Nobody volunteered to be part of this test.

It will be useful to edit on the app.

Currently if I want to edit I'm using the desktop version and that's a bit of a pain in the arse. Ditto the react feature

See look I can't edit on the app when I'm thinking it should be called the "browser" where I wrote "desktop"

yes but desktop was slow for me. The threads I’m on are often to 1000 and took forever to load

I did like desktop years ago but was hassle when they swapped it to mobile or vice versia

so I swapped to app then

the old app you couldn’t do what I mentioned above

dim your screen ?

Oh shit, I just updated it figuring it will be okay and
no, it bloody isn’t.
I like clean looking apps as much as the next person but this feels like I’m seeing a lot less on my screen, like it wastes a lot of space, and certain things (reordering comments, for example) isn’t as easy/quick to do as before.

I don’t regret it - it works great!

I don’t want to be having to change my phone settings every time I go in and out of MN. It was fine how it was.

Thank god another one

thought I was on my own loving it 😂

Yes, it looks really old fashioned. Text is huge. The old one was nicer.

It’s ok. I don’t like the new way of flipping to “newest first” is now two clicks and shows the OP at the top. I don’t think the design overall is great, big fonts and lots of wasted space. And all the emails!! Where do you unsubscribe from this bombardment

It seems to be working ok for me. The old version had stopped letting me reply to things.

It’s not as nice a layout as the old one, but functionally it works.
