Why do people use the app?? The mobile site is far better and on an ipad the full site is perfect.

TheNightIsDark · 18/04/2014 08:36

Can we also get pictures on the app please?

Still not seeing the £ sign on it.

Tech are keeping an eye on this thread and working out the bugs. Keep posting to let us know what's been fixed / is still broken.

hollyisalovelyname · 19/04/2014 20:34

CatherineMumsnet the best thing Mumsnet Towers could do is somebody working there with an iphone, get the Mumsnet app and try and write a message with letters and also using non letter and number characters- e.g. the pound sign, the euro sign, an accent, an umlat etc.It just turns out to be unreadable gobbledy gook. It has been like this since you 'upgraded' the app over a year ago.

I gave up on the app because of this and went back to the mobile site.

MissRainbowBrite · 22/04/2014 14:13

Just wondered if the tech team were back at work after Easter and were looking at this?
It would make money threads sooo much easier to read.

RowanMumsnet · 24/04/2014 11:23

Hello

Apologies for this. We've flagged it to Tech to see whether they can implement the fix they put in last time - we'll let you know their response when we have it.

� = pound sign for a while now
full site, IE6 (I know I know very old)

Nocomet it's a letter in Icelandic & Old English called a thorn.

Sorry Puddock - most MN things work in IE6 but there are a few things that don't; we fully support IE8 onwards I think (the most recent version being IE11?)

I get 'ampersand pound semicolon' for a pound symbol. On other people's message I get that weird string of sixes and threes.

Oh - so not just the app?

Your pound sign shows up normally for me (Windows OS, Chrome, desktop site). How are you viewing the site?

tethersend · 24/04/2014 11:40

Hmm. I'm on the mobile site on an iPhone, and can see the £ sign on some posts on this thread, whereas on others it is a little square.

picnicbasketcase · 24/04/2014 11:41

I'm using the iPhone app. Pound signs have never worked on it since it was updated and all the smilies changed, as far as I know.

tethersend · 24/04/2014 11:42

Will try and CnP other posts to see what happens:
