I've been fiddling with the bloody annoying useless ugly unfriendly app for ages on my phone and now I discover the heaven that is the mobile site? Why only now? Why is everone you hiding it??

Never. Going. Back.

Everyone needs to switch. Now.

Where do you find it?

ThePearShapedToad · 15/10/2013 00:23

It's amazing isn't it Grin

I first discovered MN on my phone, if I try and read it on my laptop or iPad now it just looks weird!

NoComet · 15/10/2013 00:25

Much better, nice on my kindle fire too (no android ap anyhow)

Discovered it when the ap had a massive fit and stopped working

Never went back.

I love the mobile site, the app is incredibly unfriendly. Mobile site is plain and uncomplicated. Bliss.

DumDum32 · 15/10/2013 00:33

yep the mobile app is fab & doesn't require much fiddling. I've logged in once & ever since all I do is refresh the page to update comments. I couldn't remember my password if I tried Blush

GhastlyMoiraKroesig · 15/10/2013 11:48

I bloody well TOLD you.

I use it on my laptop as well as iPad and blackberry. It's far better than the normal site. And the app is becursed.

VinegarDrinker · 15/10/2013 11:50

I only ever use the mobile site. Tried the app - seriously crap. And the desktop site is so cluttered and unwieldy, it looks like something from the 90s.

KateSMumsnet · 15/10/2013 13:20

Hurrah for the mobile site Flowers! It really is a beaut isn't it?

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 15/10/2013 21:04

At the very, very, very bottom of the page, below the emoticons and the shortcuts, below the Registered Address and everything, there are two little magic words.... Mobile Site

Click on those and be transported Grin

I've always used the mobile site and sing its praises on all the app bashing threads. I tried the app once but it was far too busy. Clicky emoticons on the mobile site is the only thing which could improve it IMO

PedlarsSpanner · 15/10/2013 21:07

Yes its fabby

TheBuskersDog · 15/10/2013 21:10

I'm probably being thick but how do you use the mobile site on a laptop?

TheBuskersDog · 15/10/2013 21:12

sorry, cross post.

All I ever use is the mobile site. T'is awesome.

When I do go onto full grown MN I feel confused and a bit overwhelmed

ihatethecold · 15/10/2013 21:23

I love it when people link stuff from the app and it takes me to the mobile site.
I had no idea how to access it. Confused

PoppyWearer · 15/10/2013 21:24

Thank you for this thread.

Time to delete the app...

SconeRhymesWithGone · 15/10/2013 21:26

It is also easier to switch to your alter ego(s) name change on the mobile site. Halloween Wink

PoppyWearer · 15/10/2013 21:29

Wow. I liiiiiiiike! Thanks

PoppyWearer · 15/10/2013 21:29

The parentheses worked too!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 15/10/2013 22:00

For me on my ancient iPad it loads waaay faster, probably because of lack of ads and pictures. And I like the lack of said ads Smile

I miss the I Started button though. Agree about the clicky emoticons, that would be awesome!

I reckon MNHQ ought to promote it more, but then again maybe they don't want everyone on here instead of the main site (advertisers, sponsors, wink wink)

I hate the app. The app is crap!
