Why can't you jump to the last post in a three (it takes ages to get to post 500).

Why can't you refresh a thread to show new posts?

It is just rubbish.

AIBU?

It drives me nuts that I can't find a topic when I want to start or sometimes find, a thread. Elderly parents for example. - mn stuff, in the club, becoming a parent?? I spent ages and have done frequently because I can't work out which heading the subject I want will be under

There's an app? I just have a shortcut to the AIBU page on my homescreen.

YANBU. Just use safari instead.

Press the plus symbol and flip messages to get to the last post. I wish you could remove topics from my topics though.

I've not found it to be too bad at all

kenleeeeee i din't know you could do that, i always go google app as the MN app is terrible

LetsKateWin · 20/08/2012 21:40

It is pants, but it works quicker on my phone than trying to use WiFi/3G.

ThePhantomPlopper · 20/08/2012 21:44

YANBU - I hate that the search function never bloody works!

KenLeeeeeee · 20/08/2012 21:44

McHappyPants2012 - yeah, just open the page in Safari then press the little arrow at the bottom of the screen. One of the options there is 'add to homescreen', so you end up with an app-like icon but without the fuckwittery of the ackshewal app.

Yanbu

It's mumsnet, on my iPhone Grin easily pleased

JethroTull · 20/08/2012 21:48

I use the phone app all the time, works ok for me. What phone do you have?

ErikNorseman · 20/08/2012 21:48

YAnbu! Use the mobile site in safari.

DozyDuck · 20/08/2012 21:48

Flip messages Grinxpost but I was clicking next next next for ages until I discovered this!

technodad · 20/08/2012 21:49

Flip messages - thanks for that hint.

Still shit though as I should be able to drag it down and let go to refresh (like EVERY OTHER APP IN THE WORLD, but I can't)

Also, why does it auto flip when you post a message in non-flipped mode?

I am glad it is not just me - I thought it was my X chromosome causing the problem!

thank you

But if I use Safari I get loads of extra data charges for downloading the adverts and pictures etc.

I have an iPhone 4
