We’d like your help testing a new release of the Mumsnet Talk App 3.0 (beta).

This app is for iPhones and iPads on iOS8 only at the moment.

We'd love it if you can give the app a good workout - using it as you normally do - to read and post in Talk. please do bear in mind that the app is still in beta version, so some things may not work perfectly. We have made a few changes since our last test release.

Sign up for Talk app testing here

You can use any email address to sign up.
You need to be logged in to sign up. (If you can't see the sign up page, make sure you are logged in.)
It is LIVE. Any posts you make will be seen on the Mumsnet site for all to see. We'll send you an invitation to download the app (it will arrive via the TestFlight service).

Talk app users

This app will replace the current Talk app (2.1) on your phone if you have it.

Recent beta Talk app testers (Testflight 1.0)

If you have been involved in recent app testing, you will end up with two app icons (1.0 & 3.0) on your device. You can uninstall the previous beta app (it will stop working this week).
If you previously signed up for this - but didn't accept & download the app - you will need to sign up again.

Please do give us your feedback on this thread.
Many thanks Flowers

Groovee · 14/09/2015 15:48

Deedeecupcake · 14/09/2015 16:14

Just downloaded and testing that it works! ????I'm not sure I like how active convos looks though Hmm

CleverPlansAndSecretTricks · 14/09/2015 16:35

My login works????Just a little thing, I tried to update a thread and a box came up saying mumsnet had deleted the thread, then the app crashed.

CleverPlansAndSecretTricks · 14/09/2015 16:36

No idea where those question marks came from. I just had a new line there on the preview. ????Testing????Testing????

CleverPlansAndSecretTricks · 14/09/2015 16:37

Ok so typing return to start a new line works on the preview, but then on the post it comes up as a bunch of question marks instead.

Simurgh · 14/09/2015 16:44

OK.

Just testing that.

Smile
Simurgh · 14/09/2015 16:45

Seems to work OK on mine.

LovelyFriend · 14/09/2015 16:59

Login works????£££££??

Simurgh · 14/09/2015 17:07

Well - sort of. (For you, LovelyFriend. Wink)

Deedeecupcake · 14/09/2015 17:10

Yeah, looks like it did the question marks for me as well.

Testiiiiiiinnnnngggggg

Deedeecupcake · 14/09/2015 17:10

And no it's working fine Confused

Simurgh · 14/09/2015 17:17

I don't think Local Boards have been included in the App from the look of things.

CleverPlansAndSecretTricks · 14/09/2015 17:32

CleverPlansAndSecretTricks · 14/09/2015 17:32

All good now!
Weird

petetech · 14/09/2015 17:48

We are looking into the random question marks.????If any of you that experienced the problem are reading this, could you let me know your iOS version.????Also are you using any third party keyboards that you installed from the App Store or just the normal iOS one that looks like the attached picture?

Ah it just happened to me, so never mind what I just asked! That will help us find the source of the problem hopefully!

Hufflepuffin · 14/09/2015 17:54

I've had to log in again twice since the update. Might be fluke, will keep you posted.

Simurgh · 14/09/2015 18:25

That's not exactly what my keyboard looks like, petetech - eg the Return on mine is up to the right of the 'L'. (I don't know whether this is relevant.)

Flisspaps · 14/09/2015 19:47

RipMacWinkle · 14/09/2015 20:44

I'm logged in ok. But just posted on a thread and have ????? all over the place.

I do love the purple colour background but need to get used to reading on it.

RipMacWinkle · 14/09/2015 20:45

Oh and I forgot to say I love the side sliders to hide or watch etc.

LOVE!

RustyBear · 14/09/2015 21:27

RustyBear · 14/09/2015 21:30
