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...

I am happy to have it free with ads Grin

MmeLindor. · 08/06/2011 20:27

Ooops, Rusty. You are right.

YAY MUMSNET HQ. THANK YOU.

No, doesn't work on iPad but also unbothered as MN is good on iPad.

baguettecut · 08/06/2011 20:30

I can't get past the title page.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 08/06/2011 20:33

Ooh me likey. It's weird but me likey Grin

Al0uiseG · 08/06/2011 20:36

Brilliant, thanks MN :)

RubberDuck · 08/06/2011 20:53

Awesome - love the ability to keep track of favourite topics and the quick smilies! Smile

LawrieMarlow · 08/06/2011 21:18

Can't get it to download on my ipod touch :(

freshprincess · 08/06/2011 21:22

I like the purple and the easy smilies SmileGrinSadWinkAngryEnvy

BUT the logout doesn't work properly. If you hit the back button you're straight back in. Prefer on the mobile site where it logs off after a while.

MinnieBar · 08/06/2011 21:38

  1. You need to be able to get to the last page more easily (PITA with long threads)
  2. Bring back bookmarks (see above)
  3. OP posts need to be highlighted so I can skim read to the juicy stuff

Like the font and the smilies though Grin

SmileGrinSadWinkAngryEnvyBlush

Wooohoo!! (easily pleased)

prolificwillybreeder · 08/06/2011 22:04

Darren- can we highlight OP's posts and our own on the app?
For your next version/update: Please could you add a 'top of page' option like on the mobile version?
Perhaps a customised home page?
Otherwise it's great Smile

lisad123 · 08/06/2011 22:05

Love it!!

WickedWitchSouthWest · 08/06/2011 22:09

ooo must make time to play with this! probably when I'm up all night nursing poorly ds

Tee2072 · 08/06/2011 22:36

Uh oh seems to not show all the threads I'm on!

I post on the Apprentice thread but have Telly Addicts hidden as a topic. The thread from tonight is not in Threads I'm On in the app.

Paschaelina · 08/06/2011 22:38

What is "My Topics" for in the settings menu? Theres nothing in it.

LawrieMarlow · 08/06/2011 23:28

It is now downloading :) Will report back on my findings soon

LawrieMarlow · 08/06/2011 23:29

Spoke too soon :(

It has now downloaded but if I try and use it, it says "verifying your connection" and closes.

I'll go back to the mobile version again.

LawrieMarlow · 08/06/2011 23:38

Think I've found the problem - think I may need to at last upgrade my iPod to OS4.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 08/06/2011 23:44

Ahh Lawrie, that's what was happening to me.

I shall try the upgrading too.

Cheers fellow apple procrastinator.

ReadyToDrink · 09/06/2011 01:33

On my iPod touch now. So far so good SmileGrinSadWinkAngryEnvyBlushHmmBiscuitConfusedBear

lalalahahaha · 09/06/2011 02:50

Seems to work ok but I'd like to be able to jump around the threads more easily eg to different page numbers.

Also you can't read the thread titles properly, only the first few words. So mumsnet mobile is easier to use so far.

WorrisomeHeart · 09/06/2011 05:43

paschaelina you need to add your face topics. If you go to the Topics section and then one of the individual topics (ie _Chat) then press the + sign in the top right hand corner, you will get an option to 'Add to My Topics'. Hth! Grin

WorrisomeHeart · 09/06/2011 05:43

Fave not face!! Grin

Bizkit · 09/06/2011 07:15

I logged out last night, but come this morning I've opened the app and Im still logged in....I don't like this means my OH can snoop at what I've been writing, should he decide to have a nosey through my phone Angry

MissTinaTeaspoon · 09/06/2011 07:21

I just tried to highlight some text to copy it and the whole thing crashed Sad
