Android App "unable to connect with Mumsnet"

Hello. I've had difficulty with the Android app today and can't seem to connect. Is it just me? I keep getting an error message (hopefully I've attached a screenshot). I'm running Android 4.1.2 on a Samsung, if that matters.

Me, too.

Thurlow · 23/05/2014 18:16

Still no news? Really?

UncleT · 23/05/2014 18:24

Yup - no access for nearly 24 hours now. Very surprised there's no real response - surely this is a pretty massive issue?

Thurlow · 23/05/2014 18:26

I can't help but think it's pretty bad form, HQ - all those stickies on the front page and you can't have one saying that the app is down?

RunningKatie · 23/05/2014 18:54

For heavens sake will someone put 50p in the app meter.

tapdancingmum · 23/05/2014 19:21

I thought the 'essential maintenance' would have sorted this out - but apparently not......

I can't take the computer to bed with me so what am I going to read tonight. Oh god I will have to read a real book Grin

I even tweeted but no reply Sad

MyMelody · 23/05/2014 19:21

What's going on HQ?

AWitchThisWayComes · 23/05/2014 19:23

The app has been down for me since yesterday too. I would've thought that Mumsnet would have got this sorted out by now Hmm

SpineInABap · 23/05/2014 19:34

Hey everyone, while the app is down you can still go to www.mumsnet.com/Talk on your Android phone or tablet Internet browser. That's what I'm doing now and it works pretty well - I would recommend chrome!

Thurlow · 23/05/2014 19:43

I don't like the mobile site, I find posting messages really odd!

NickNackNooToYou · 23/05/2014 20:00

I'm using the mobile site thingy but if there is a Mumsnet app it may as well work or there's no point having it Hmm

It's time for the app to get on it's Bike Wink

wigglesrock · 23/05/2014 20:03

I find the mobile site even more cumbersome than the app. Right am away to see what preteen sitcoms my dds are watching - iCarly or Sam & Kat - see what you've reduced me to MN Sad

CatherineMumsnet · 23/05/2014 20:04

Hi all, thanks for posting. We are aware of this and we're very sorry. We're all working hard to get it back up and running, please bear with us.

Breezy1985 · 23/05/2014 20:04

Me too, am using the mobile site but it's so slow and I want to MN in bed :(

Marylou2 · 23/05/2014 20:44

Me too! Fine on iPad but I prefer the android app on Samsung.

FourForksAche · 23/05/2014 20:56

ooh, glad it's a known issue, thought my phone was just being a cunt.

alemci · 23/05/2014 21:17

It is awful on browser. So slow

FushandChups · 23/05/2014 21:30

So glad I found you all - frustrating as hell, but glad it's not just me! And agree with those saying the mobile site is shite - it is, that's why I installed the App..

C'mon MN - I know it's Friday night but I am trapped home with small DC and dog tired.. love a good MN, snuggled in my duvet Sad

RPopz · 23/05/2014 21:50

I've had this problem for days now... was contemplating deleting and reinstalling app but sounds like no point if its affecting everyone else too! Any news?

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 23/05/2014 22:43

Arghh, driving me bonkers too!

Galena · 24/05/2014 07:12

With Chrome I managed to post the same message 3 times on a thread by pressing 'back'. Ugh!

JazzAnnNonMouse · 24/05/2014 07:32

My iPhone app does it all the time! I've never known another app to be so crappy - especially from such a big site!

DuchessofMalfi · 24/05/2014 07:43

Just found this thread - was coming on here to have a moan about the Android App :o

I got thrown out of it two days ago, thought it was my phone that was playing up. I changed my password, thinking that was the problem, but no that wasn't it.

So, in complete frustration I've deleted the MN App from my phone. I shall feel lost without it, but it is completely unusable.

LuckyAugust · 24/05/2014 11:20

Still not working for me either! Please fix asap!!!!
