Mumsnet App: delete or wait --til hell freezes over-- or it's fixed?

Seen numerous threads in site stuff over mumsnet app, but answers tend to be thats tech is looking into it but not with an actual fix date. I've said about problems with the app on a thread with no reply.

So on app you can't: highlight the op or mn towers
Decide how many posts per page
Can't always bookmark
If you type a message in app the switch to app then data is lost.
It refreshes pages multiple times

My biggest bugbear is that if you click on a link, anyone including the Mumsnet ones, they open (safari on an iPad) and connect to the Internet site! In that case why would anyone use the app?? Sad

In theory I don't mind waiting for a fix, in practice I would like an ETA!

Is anyone else having app issues? Am I being unreasonable to delete the app from my phone and ipad til Mumsnet declare that tech has fixed the bugs and the app is user friendly? Hmm

Hello. And we are so, so sorry about all this.

We know the app is, erm, less than perfect in its current form. And, though it may not look like it, we're are working ridiculously hard on trying to get it improved.

Unfortunately, some of the work involves outside agencies and we're having some issues moving that work on as fast as we'd like. We are jumping up and down in a very scary way, though, we promise you!

But, straight up, we can't give you an ETA right now. If that changes, we'll let you know ASAP.

In the meantime, you might well be better off leaving the app alone and using the mobile version of the site - which is much more glitch-free.
