Old app going to browser

[0x530x610x750x630x79]

Whenever i navigate around the app it takes me to a browser and then complains the address
Sorry, the website ads1.mumsnet.com cannot be found.

[BeccaMumsnet]

Hi everyone - huge apologies for the delayed response. As you may now be aware, the app has been taken offline for the time being. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused.

[overthemill]

Oh my app won't open now. Says its offline. Bloody hell. So having to use safari. At least I get my colours back...

[Simurgh]

Yes - my device gives me a message only that the App couldn't connect with Musmnet which is not wildly explanatory.

[Pigeonpost]

Ah, I've been wondering why my app won't connect, I thought it was our broadband being shite.

[Simurgh]

That has now been superseded. The old App has already been zapped.

I don't know about the mobile site, I'm afraid. I have to assume it's working fine?

[0x530x610x750x630x79]

so the mobile browser version is working now?

[Simurgh]

Part of a very recent post from SarahMumsnet so you're all aware of it.

'We're going to take the app offline as of midnight tonight, as we can't be sure it's secure. We'll be launching a new one using https in a few weeks, and in the meantime, we'd encourage everyone to use our mobile site instead. Sorry to all the app users for the inconvenience.'

She should be posting a thread about it shortly.

I had this. The only way I got the app to work again was to delete it and reinstall it.

[RedYellaGreen]

simurgh - no I'm Apple all the way I'm afraid

Hi Becca, definitely all fixed here. It looked like the app was trying to reach an ad server, but couldn't resolve the fully qualified domain name.

[Simurgh]

Did you by any chance install Win 10 on something, RedYellaGreen - or contemplate doing so? I suspect that my App knows that I have a somewhat fractious relationship with my new Win 10 software and is playing Goody Two Shoes for a while. There's a definite whiff of smug 'Well if you will reject me for that!.........' in the air.

[RedYellaGreen]

Mines back on! Someone's obviously looked into it.

Can I ask whether it's possible to see discussion of the day within the new app?

[Simurgh]

Mine's still fine. Doesn't mean to say that it's not just waiting till I'm really vulnerable though!

[OhHolyFuck]

Also me

[BeccaMumsnet]

Hi everyone - if you're still having trouble with the app, could you please upload a screenshot for us? Thanks for flagging this to us.

[overthemill]

Could mumsnet deal with this?

[BoGrainger]

Still happening to me

[TrappersNewAccount]

It seems to have stopped for me now - not sure if someone has changed something?

[ShooBeeDooBeeDoo]

It's even worse for me this morning.

I'm going to give up soon.

[Noregretsatall]

I wasn't even aware there was a 'new app' and an 'old app'! ???? how do I get access to the new one (assume I'm on the old one).

[RedYellaGreen]

The old app is working (apart from discussion of the day, which tries - and fails - to load threads I'm watching!) but the new app has been down since the first attack.

[froomeonthebroom]

The old app isn't working on my android phone today. Been down since the last DDOS. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it's still not working.

[stardusty5]

The new app has been down for ages, since the first attack at least. Or at least mine has.

[Hygellig]

The app is working on my Android phone today.

[EvianBaby]

It's happening to me, too.
