Yes it's been a long and somewhat painful wait but it's here at last!

Get yourself into the iTunes store, search for Mumsnet and it will appear before your very eyes. It is not a mirage.

Android app following soon! (nb the mobile version of Mumsnet is at already available at m.mumsnet.com)

Hope you like it...

(Any complaints to [email protected] Grin)

Thanks for all your feedback, we're extremely relieved pleased that most of it is positive.

We can't answer every question on this thread but hopefully this covers quite a few.

On a general note, this is version 1.0 of the app and we will be collating all the suggestions here into a list that will inform improvements to version 1.1 or 2.0 or whatever the tech team decide to call it. We fully realise that version 1.0 doesn't replicate the full Mumsnet Talk experience quite yet but we'll do our best to get somewhere close to it in the next iteration .

We have no plans to stop the mobile version of the site as we've spent some time over the last few months making improvements to it and now think that it's rather good.

As Justine wrote earlier, the Android app will follow in the next month or so by the end of summer. Blackberry app plans are being considered.

That's it for now, keep the feedback coming and enjoy the app.

Oh I do like the smiles Grin.

Can we get that on the main site?

Now you just need an easy way to do links!

GypsyMoth · 08/06/2011 15:10

then transfer it from comp to phone that way? sometimes works better

RustyBear · 08/06/2011 15:22

Fine on iPhone, doesn't work at all on iPad, just closes instantly first iphone app I've ever found that won't work at all on ipad

PotteringAlong · 08/06/2011 15:23

I am trying on my computer! left iphone at home - will try it on that later

DarrenMumsnet · 08/06/2011 15:26

My apologies for forgetting our panel of beta testers, without whom the app wouldn't be anywhere near as good as it is. Thank you all.

Like the smiley gallery!

Tee2072 · 08/06/2011 15:31

Just wanted some acknowledgement, Darren!!

Y'all should have seen the first version...no, let's not talk about it. ::zips lip::

Paschaelina · 08/06/2011 15:50

Smile but I wanna bookmark, hide and colour my posts to show I'm most important please.

And where are the Wine and Brew on the gallery then? Norman will be disappointed..

Malvapoeding · 08/06/2011 15:55

Tee - thank you for getting us acknowledged :)

It is sooo much better than the first one we were let loose on!

PrettyCandles · 08/06/2011 16:03

Mmm, so-so.

Looks good, smileys are good.

Bbut limited display, does not respond to rotating the iPhone, and no customisation or preview.

Also, had to post this via regular main site - on my iPhone! - as connection appears to be very unstable.

notwavingjustironing · 08/06/2011 16:06

Thank you very much.
