Would you like to test an early version of our Talk app?

Hello,
We've been working on a test version of a new Talk app and could do with your help putting it through it's paces.

If you have an iPhone with iOS8 (sorry no iPods, iPads or android for now) and you'd like a sneak preview then head on over to this sign up page and sign up so we can send you an invite (it doesn't have to be your Mumsnet email address just one you can access).

The app is very much a beta version and everything may not work perfectly. If you find something that's broken or think there is something missing, please let us know.

Ideally we'd like you to use the app to read and post on threads and do whatever you normally do in Talk. Please note, this version of the app is LIVE and anything you post will appear on the Mumsnet site for all to see.

At the mo this is for registered mumsnetters only so if you can't see the sign up page please check you are logged in.

Thanks in advance for your help - looking forward (I think) to your feedback.

I tested a talk app before and really really liked it. In fact I miss it Grin

kaymondo · 16/07/2015 16:11

That link didn't take me to a sign up page Hmm

Hope the new app is going to let us see pictures and sort out the posting thing on iPhones where the keyboard covers the space you're typing!

LateToTheParty · 16/07/2015 16:44

I'm not getting the sign up page either from that link. Would be happy to test.

cozietoesie · 16/07/2015 16:49

I'm getting the sign up page from the link - but I haven't got an iphone with IOS8.

Do you think it's feeling lazy and is pre-selecting?

TheOneWiththeNicestSmile · 16/07/2015 17:22

I got the sign-up page and I do have an iphone with ios8

but I'm not on it just now so I managed to fool it Grin

urbanturban · 16/07/2015 17:26

I'd be happy to test the app but I'm not getting to the sign up page from the link above?

MagpieCursedTea · 16/07/2015 17:37

Signed up, more excited than I should be Grin

Nagasaki · 16/07/2015 17:49

Signed up.

Is there going to be photos? Please let there be photos!

LuisSuarezTeeth · 16/07/2015 18:26

Sounds interesting, I've signed up Smile

cozietoesie · 16/07/2015 18:27

ShamTech and PeteTech were posting images on the thread just down a bit and I think they were pre-testing the App - so every chance I reckon. Smile

SpottyTeacakes · 16/07/2015 18:35

I'm not getting the sign up page either Hmm

withalittlebitofluck · 16/07/2015 18:56

I put the wrong details in! Would love to test this

cozietoesie · 16/07/2015 19:13

with

If you slipped up and gave them eg a misspelled email address, why not drop MNHQ an explanatory note at [email protected] - they might be able to assist on that one.

cozietoesie · 16/07/2015 19:16

PS - thinking about it, it might be best to re-link, put in the correct details and re-send it if it will let you. (You only need to ask them to disregard the first one then.)

cozietoesie · 16/07/2015 19:48

Not a happy bunny, MrsW ? Wink

Flisspaps · 16/07/2015 19:51

I'm not getting the sign up page either (running ios8) Confused

cozietoesie · 16/07/2015 20:01

I actually got the sign up page on ios8 on the ipad as well as on the laptop. (Not an iphone, though.)

I guess it doesn't like you for some reason, Flisspaps. Grin

You need to already be logged in through your browser for the link to work, otherwise it just defaults to the MN homepage.

MimsyBorogroves · 16/07/2015 23:52

Done, btw Wink

withalittlebitofluck · 17/07/2015 06:38

Thanks cozie, I put too many dots before the com! ????

Greenrememberedhills · 17/07/2015 06:39

Can you clarify please that if you sign up using your usual email address then anything you post with the app will display your username, and not your email address?
