Are MN going to fix the android app?

I'm wondering if MN are working o fixing the issue with the android app that has been raised be others but never seems to get any response. The issue is the sponsored discussions continually building up in the active list with the only way of reducing them being that you have to log out then in again. Annoying enough in itself but then when I do log back in even though my 'reading direction' still says it's like a book it actually isn't and the only way to solve it is to flip direction then flip it back again. There must be a way of only having the usual 4 or 5 sponsored discussions as it is on the desktop site so please could it be fixed if you're not already in the process of doing so? I know it's not a major issue but it is increasingly annoying.

Hi all,

Sorry if you're feeling ignored!

Just letting you know that we have seen this thread - we'll get our Tech folk to give you an update as soon as possible.

Hello

We're really sorry that the app is so rubbish, and that we've made anyone feel ignored about it.

As Justine explained in her post linked to by Tweetinat, the existing apps were built by a third party and making changes to them - even for something apparently simple - is just prohibitively expensive. The whole thing has been a massive Learning Experience for us.

We do know it's horribly frustrating for those of you who prefer to use the app.

We're almost at testing stage with the new app and the improved mobile site and we hope to roll it out ASAP.

It's def going to be paid for (the mobile site will remain free). Not sure whether it's a one-off or a sub - will try to find out.

Thanks for the feedback - we will take note, and of course completely understand if people won't want to pay. The aim is to make the mobile site utterly super, so the free option will still be very good.

Hello

Just to update you: turns out the decision about making the app free or paid-for hasn't been made yet; it's all yet to be decided via user testing. Apols for giving out nonsense information...
