A couple of comments on the android app. Firstly, thanks for making one! It is looking pretty good. I will agree that we need to have the op posts highlighted throughout the thread - I can't cope without that!

Often when I open the app the advert at the bottom flickers between the bottom and the middle of the screen. this stops when I refresh the page. I'm using an HTC one X.

Finally, when I type a message the keyboard doesn't automatically put a capital after a full stop like it usually does. Not sure if this is an issue with the app or the phone though.

Thanks again!

I read some of the early reviews about the Android app & nearly didn't bother to download. Very glad I did though, I really like it! Read lots using it & posted a little. Do have the little problem of no auto capital after a full stop...

Using the Android app in the car right now while waiting for DS to appear from school. Like the easy smileys!Smile Smile

Good job mumsnet. But why doesn't it automatically put a capital at the start of my sentences, like all other applications do? Strange.

Can I just say that the title of this thread is so good it has made me cry a little bit at the thought of little apps running around.

Damn the invisibility cloak of the pointy brackets!!!

I also added some mad hormonal thing no doubt

I have discovered another problem. Confused
I was just trying to use the search function and limiting it to one topic- pregnancy.
Unfortunately the drop down list to choose from only goes as far as Mumsnet Local in the alphabet, so Pregnancy has no chance AngryAngrySad

Biscuits - presumably it's just the Android app having capitals problems.

Another problem with the search tool is if I choose the post (rather then thread) in the search list results then it just displays a blank white page.

Hope that makes sense.

Can you make it so you can log in with either your username or email address, like the website, rather than just your username?

Pointy brackets turn things invisible for me too. It keeps crashing, and I used to really like the 'Most Active' option on the old (iPhone) app, which I can't find. The only thing I wanted was to be able to bookmark! Sad
