Please can you update this? It only has limited icons and there are so many things that need improving!
If enough MNers post suggestions can we get an update for the app please MNHQ?
TIA

I wondered if there's a way to view the full thread title as mine seems to cut off and turning the phone makes no difference. Does anyone know?

Grumpla · 03/03/2012 09:09

YY full thread titles please!!!

And more emoticons. If not, bin the smile and give me the sideways eyebrow one instead.

And PMs? Can't they come up on the app too?

Jnice · 03/03/2012 09:10

Plus there is no way to see personal messages (I think) a if there is I haven't found it. Also navigating through topics is hard, is there a way to make the section heading (chat for example) navigable?

claireinmodena · 03/03/2012 09:14

Also not able to "unwatch" threads on it?

eggtimer · 03/03/2012 09:18

It still doesn't work on my iphone

Mumof1plustwins · 03/03/2012 11:08

Yay some traffic! Grin

YY the thread titles, the emoticons need a serious update! (where's wine and a cuppa?!) and unwatch threads please!
Need a way to access PMs, and scroll through the post when you make a discussion!

And looks like a bug fix maybe needed for some?

And bookmarking. I don't bother with the app except on very long threads, then it has its uses as it doesn't crash.

CupOfBrownJoy · 03/03/2012 11:12

I couldn't get much at all out of the app on my iphone. Can it be more like the mobile site (maybe they are the same, I don't know Blush)?

savoycabbage · 03/03/2012 11:14

Hmm is this the sideways eyebrow? If so, it's on the app, you have to scroll along.

Mumof1plustwins · 03/03/2012 11:20

SmileGrinSadWinkAngryEnvyBlushHmmBiscuitConfusedBear

Are the only emoticons on the App.

I find the mobile site good but the App seems much quicker for access, unfortunately it's just a little dated and abandoned! Sad

OP posts:
CupOfBrownJoy · 03/03/2012 12:22

so a mixture of the two seems the ideal. The quick access of the app and then what is basically the mobile site once you've accessed it?

That must be possible...?

SparklyGothKat · 03/03/2012 12:26

I'd like to view profiles and be able to upload pics to my profile too. Grin

Tooblunt2012 · 03/03/2012 12:44

Agree with all of the above. Please improve the app!!

ItsallGreektome · 03/03/2012 12:46

Yes to profiles and upload pics.
Also full thread titles. Sometimes its hard to know what the poster is talking about as you don't get full title and poster doesn't put it in the main post

Mumof1plustwins · 03/03/2012 12:54

Would love someone from MNHQ to pop in and let us know if an update is at least on the list?

OP posts:
AuntieBulgaria · 03/03/2012 12:59

I still have trouble with links in app posts. I can't remember if it's just in-site posts or external too but something doesn't work.

NoWuckingFurries · 03/03/2012 13:02

It's the ones linking to other threads that doesn't work. Vair annoying! Angry

singersgirl · 03/03/2012 13:07

Yes, the external links work but not the links to other threads. Also if it's a really long thread you can't find the bit you left it at - whichever way you flip it. Titles a problem too.

Mumof1plustwins · 03/03/2012 14:21

Just thought of another, the options at the bottom of the screen...sometimes I'm engrossed in a thread and my finger brushes the bottom of the screen causing me to go 'Home' or somewhere other than where I was thus losing my place and sometimes even losing the thread I was reading! SO could we have that as a drop down (/up) menu instead so it's not in the way?

Also a refresh screen button? I don't like having to jump in and out of threads just to see an update.

OP posts:
Grumpla · 03/03/2012 14:44

You can SCROLL ALONG?!?!?!

HmmBiscuitConfusedBear

Hahaha!

CarryOnMatron · 03/03/2012 15:04

I want to be able to bookmark threads please Smile

SleepyFergus · 03/03/2012 15:19

Yes, please update the app. It does feel a bit unloved compared to everything on the main site. YYY to showing full titles, and having a refresh button. And being able to unwatch threads. Also, it would be good to delete old or unnecessary threads on 'I'm on'. Also, please make it easier to find thread names. I'm always forgetting where AIBU and Chat are located.

Anyone from MNHQ care to comment?

NoWuckingFurries · 03/03/2012 17:04

Yeah. I hate hate HATE that on the app you can't just skip forward pages but have to scroll through. And I always do the accidental touching of a button and losing a thread Angry

C'mon mnhq - are you going to update the app or what?

mynameis · 03/03/2012 17:25

Joining the update petition.

Also didn't realise I could scroll along Blush Hmm Biscuit Confused Bear
