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.

BeeMyBaby · 20/07/2015 14:54

The font seems a good side to me, easy to read

BeyondTheWall · 20/07/2015 14:55

Possible problem here?

My report went through, but seems to have gone as spam even though I didn't click the spam button?

I think the font is a bit big, too - the font size on the mobile site is perfect IMO. Smile

That's funny - it's not for me - must be my individual settings... will check out

Me neither. I'm on an iPhone 6+.

Silverturnip · 20/07/2015 15:23

Testing here too. Smile

Silverturnip · 20/07/2015 15:26

How do I hide topics??

JustineMumsnet · 20/07/2015 15:29

Hmm it's not my settings, i think it may be because I have an iphone 6 plus (get me!) Anyone else also getting large font?

You can swipe your first pic across to view the second one

Loveleopardprint · 20/07/2015 15:56

iPhone 6+ here. Font is large but I don't mind it. Find it easier to read tbh

BeyondTheWall · 20/07/2015 16:14

When i use an iphone app on my ipad, it zooms it in to take up the whole screen, making the text humongous.

So if you're using a 6+, i guess it does the same thing? Maybe?

BeyondTheWall · 20/07/2015 16:16

Here is the new app on my ipad, for eg. You can either choose 'real' size, or zoom in so it fills the screen

My I'm on page is all out of sync. Seems to be just random rather than last one with a reply.

MrsWembley · 20/07/2015 17:02

How do we refresh? Or does it do it automatically?

ThursdayLast · 20/07/2015 17:07

If you drag the page up or down it should refresh MrsW

Is it possible to see the thread while typing?

And is there a way to get to the most recent post on a TIO that I'm missing? -- ----Testing

Hmm my score through didn't work.

Apologies for pic only non identifying one I had

BeyondTheWall · 20/07/2015 17:15

I thought my tio were just upside down, but i spotted a thread that isnt showing at all? Confused

Loveleopardprint · 20/07/2015 17:22

I don't like the way that when I go back to Active, after looking at a thread or topic, that it does not automatically go up to the top/most recent threads. It just goes back to the title of the last thread I looked at.
