Pretty please. Have been asking for ages.
C'mon Tech.

Don't make me defect

This has been going on since March when Justine announced that MN had hooked up with Vodafone to develop an app.

It's a work very much in progress. We weren't happy with the first version so we're revising it. It's a complicated project and involves several people on three continents, so far. It's not like we're holding it back! We are really keen to make it available as soon as we can.

And Android...?

can i just ask - will it be possible for the page to turn sideways?

i use mn on the ipod, and my eyes are too old to cope with how small the text is if i keep the page upright, or i have to keep scrolling from left to right, which makes me travel sick!

WHERE'S OUR APP!!!!!!!!! Angry

Any news then? Dare I ask if there is going to be an iPad app next? Or will it work on both?

paisleyleaf · 05/10/2010 13:21

Do netmums have one then, hun?

YetMoreTech · 05/10/2010 15:04

We are building an app which will work on the iPhone and Android. It will work on the iPad too, albeit in iPhone x2 mode.

It doesn't currently support turning to landscape, but the fonts are a pretty good size and should be clearly visible to most people.

As for when, it'll still be a while I'm afraid. However, we do have a Mobile version of the site up and running which should work well on most devices.

We will release it all as soon as we can. Watch this space.

Watching...

JustineMumsnet · 05/10/2010 16:15

Ack it's taking a bit longer than we thought to develop - but we are in the back and forth ironing out bugs and glitches bit so it shouldn't be too long now. (If you detect a note of desperation in my voice, you're not wrong.)

TrillianAstra · 05/10/2010 16:17

Will you have super-duper extra-strength iphone apps so you can delete threads and expel trolls while in the bath?

MmeLindt · 05/10/2010 16:53

I think that MNHQ need one of those remote control wands that was on Dragon's Den a while ago.

Whooooooooooooosh and the post is deleted.

Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam and the poster is banned.

HelenMumsnet · 05/10/2010 16:59

Oooh, Mme Lindt - what a great idea.

Do you there could be an Expelliamus option, too - which makes, er, troublesome people drop their computers and lie helpless on the floor...?

TitsalinaBumSquash · 05/10/2010 17:02

Will it work on my Blackberry? hmmmm hmmmm

TitsalinaBumSquash · 05/10/2010 17:03

I need one of those wands in my life, i would pretend i was magic... and no im not sad... Grin

MmeLindt · 05/10/2010 17:55

Hmm, Helen. Not sure about the Expelliamus wand tbh. Can you imagine if Olivia had had one last weekend. She would have a serious case of carpal tunnel syndrome in her wrist from all the flicking.

RipMacWinkle · 05/10/2010 17:56

I'm with Tits (that makes me giggle)

As a technophobe, can you let me know if any of the above info will make MNing easier, quicker or better on a blackberry?

CountessVonKnackerstein · 05/10/2010 18:11

Mobile version? Have you got a link? :)

MrsShrekTheThird · 05/10/2010 18:14

hurry up then, Great Sir Tech

And Justine, better have some lemsip for those bugs

CountessVonKnackerstein · 07/10/2010 20:12

Linkety link for mobile version?

OP posts:
toddlerama · 08/10/2010 19:20

PLEEEEAAASE make it work for Blackberry too! Even just a mobile version of the site would be better than nothing...

CountessVonKnackerstein · 09/10/2010 12:43

Hun can we get this app?
thanx

Mumi · 22/10/2010 20:04

CountessVonKnackerstein · 22/10/2010 20:42
