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

[JustineMumsnet]

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.

Love the flip function!!

I've just updated - but now I can't get rid of the threads with [m] sticky. I could hide them before. Is there a function so I can off "stickies" like I have in the mobile site?

Yay, flip!

Anything else new/different I wonder?

Oh, that's amazing!

Updated to the new version and now I can't post! It says "oops you've lost your network connection". I haven't. I tried logging out and back in but have the same error message

I love the new version with the flip. What would be so cool is of when you swipe a post sideways you have the option to "quote post".

How interesting. It just let me post now because I deleted the emoticon :-{

Very happy now there's flip!

PMs next?

The flip is flipping fantastic.

You could do with the same thing on all versions.

BTW. - I can't actually post on the new version. I had to come out of it and post on my old mobile version.

I wanted to post re fab flipping from the updated version of the ap but I couldn't post from it either.

Oooh update with flippy flip. Thanks

Though I'm now getting this message when I'm
Hooked into both wifi and 3G

it let me post without eemocon

I like the post flipping, thank you.

I would love to have a "show original post" option for when you go into a bookmarked thread - currently to re-read the original post you need to show older posts and then scroll back to the top

And I was able to post from the app

It would be nice if you were able to look at a poster's profile as I've been on a couple of threads where the poster has put photos on their profile and I can't look at them on here

In general I really like the app and have found it easy to use

Hurrah, flip posts!

Hello all, thank you again for testing. Glad you like the flip!
We're just releasing a fix for emoticons not posting. Bear with...

Well that worked!
We'll be releasing a new update ASAP

Apologies, all. As you've noticed, your posts are failing when they include emoticons.

My fault. I've failed you.

If these emoticons came out ok ->

Very pleased about the flip, I was struggling to use it before.

Ok, while you're about, Pete, could you look at the share option? I'm out at the moment and wanted to mail a linky to my DP, but you're only offering Gmail, FB and Twitter, and that particular thread is definitely not for public consumption!

Oh and thanks for sorting out the emoticon problem...

Though this just didn't post with grin and wine...
