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.

Did someone say there was a new app? Can we move to that one if this is broken?

It's still in the final stages of development, TrappersNewAccount, with final user testing going on. Goodness knows how long this latest business has set things back now though.

My ipad is still behaving itself this morning. I'm trying to think what I might have done that's different from the rest of you but apart from doing the upgrade to 8.4.1 a little back and clearing its cookies and cache - which I assume you've all done anyway - I can't think of anything, I'm afraid.

It's happening to me, too.

The app is working on my Android phone today.

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

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.

Dail mail sadface

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.

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).

It's even worse for me this morning.

I'm going to give up soon.

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

Still happening to me

Could mumsnet deal with this?

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.

Also me

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

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?

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.

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

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

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.

so the mobile browser version is working now?

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?

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

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