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

Oo goody, please do spread word MNers about the App, I really think if we get enough posters they will pop in!?

I think if a thread that you're 'on' doesn't receive any posters after a few days on the app it disappears? But would prefer an option to remove it myself.

Yes please for an update Smile. Would be good to be able to view profiles, and also some links on threads just don't work?!

SleepyFergus · 03/03/2012 18:43

Yes, links not working is verrrrry frustrating. Esp when they are blue and underlined and taunt you.....then do nowt. Arghhhh!

Didn't realise that threads I've posted on but haven't been active for a few days drop off 'I'm on'. I must pay more attention in future. But would be nifty to be able to delete them when I want.

And yes! to accidentally hitting something and exiting a thread, and then spend ages finding it again and scrolling through page by page to find where you were. That's bloody annoying so it is.

HelenMumsnet · 03/03/2012 18:56

Hello. Sorry it's taken us a while to respond to this thread.

An update for the app is in the pipeline. Not quite sure of the ETA but it's certainly being worked on right now

SleepyFergus · 03/03/2012 19:10

Ooooh thanks HelenNM, that's great. We'll point away our pointy sticks for the time
being.....

SleepyFergus · 03/03/2012 19:33

That should have said "we'll take away..." but you get the gist...

MrsSnaplegs · 03/03/2012 19:35

Wow I didn't know you could scroll along the emoticons!!

MrsSnaplegs · 03/03/2012 19:37

BearConfusedBiscuitHmm more emoticons

Throughgrittedteeth · 03/03/2012 19:42

Also adding page numbers to apps would make a lot of difference to my MN experience Grin

Mumof1plustwins · 03/03/2012 20:59

Oh that's great news HelenMN!

Hope our suggestions will be included and the update is soon!!

OP posts:
Mumof1plustwins · 03/03/2012 21:28

Just thought of another one, highlight the OP's posts'. Would make it so much easier to follow the thread especially the really long ones!

OP posts:
ZenNudist · 03/03/2012 23:36

Wishlist for app:
1)Full thread title (v.annoying)
2)being able to click through pages of a thread from the top of the thread without having to scroll down
3) Being able to highlight OP and your own posts so they stand out
4) for 'I'm on' to last longer than a few days.
5)being able to watch threads
It could be so much more user friendly... But it took so long to even get a vodaphone sponsored app, what are the chances of it being improved?!

Bohica · 03/03/2012 23:43

Can I add book marking or highlighting my posts and Wine to Zen's list please?

I really hate the scrolling through and then accidently pressing a button and loosing all my hard work, I read a few vary long thread like Brave Babes and Nobdies and they are a complete pain on the ipad app.

Be really great please

NannyPlumIsMyMum · 04/03/2012 00:17

Well at least I have learnt I can scroll along the emoticons ...

Jnice · 04/03/2012 01:28

You can scroll emoticons? Confused

Ooh look at that Bear

Mumof1plustwins · 04/03/2012 07:26

You can watch threads, it's under the "..." bit at the bottom vvv

OP posts:
Mumof1plustwins · 04/03/2012 07:27

Oh and you can name change, also under "..." and "settings" Smile

OP posts:
Mumof1plustwins · 04/03/2012 07:32

"..." means "more" Hmm Had to have a look after my post as you can't see anything when you write a post.

OP posts:
SleepyFergus · 04/03/2012 08:06

Yeah, it's a bit annoying that when you go to type a message you can't see anything else, like the OP or any of the replies.

snala · 04/03/2012 08:16

Yes to an update please!!!
•Icons in a different place, I'm always catching them and loosing the thread I'm reading.
•The ability to strikeout.
•Full titles.
•To be able to refresh a thread when I get to the end of what I've read but others have added posts while I have been reading iyswim?Blush
ATM I have to leave the thread, go back on it and flip the messages. A right pita.
•To be able to click on posters name for profiles would be good.

I have no laptop ATM and I'm relying on my phone for all things Internet !!!!
And breathe!!!!Grin

SleepyFergus · 04/03/2012 08:24

snala you can do strikeouts!! You need to put a double dash -- in front and after the words with no spaces between them. When you type a message, hit the 'i' box at the top right of the message box and it gives you instructions on how to do bold, strikeout etc. I only discovered this recently!

snala · 04/03/2012 08:28

Oooooh thanks Blush
I'm so stupid

Also "threads I started" never has anything in it (despite me starting several threads)
