Mobile app and Fairy advert

44 replies

marmiteloversunite · 02/08/2016 21:17

Is this the new advertising deal on the mobile app? A fairy advert at the end of each post. I am finding it intensely irritating sand keep clicking on it by mistake trying to refresh the thread.

The "back to top" button is gone too Shock

NotPennysBoat · 02/08/2016 21:21

It's driving me insane! Why on every post??

ninenicknames · 02/08/2016 21:41

Yep. Doing my swede in

Footle · 02/08/2016 21:43

It's putting me off both Fairy ( my usual washing powder ) and MN.

The person the baby is lying on looks like they're made of dough. It's bothering me.

Hughpughbarneymagrew · 02/08/2016 21:45

And when I start the app "sponsored" has been spelt wrong

Shock that misspelling just takes the biscuit!

Hughpughbarneymagrew · 02/08/2016 21:46

It's making my inner pedant itch

SarcasmMode · 02/08/2016 21:52

Ive clicked on it a few times - very annoying.

I thought the woman was a mannequin.

marmiteloversunite · 02/08/2016 22:09

I didn't even notice the woman! She looks like the pilsbury dough boy!

Glad it's not just me! Grin

Are turquoise silicone goggles a thing ?

MissBeaHaving · 03/08/2016 03:08

I have been wondering about this today,it's so annoying!

Also,threads about babies in headbands tend to descend into chaos , seems that baby eye masks are the way forward.Wink

chocolateismyweakness · 03/08/2016 03:15

I thought the person the baby is lying on was a cushion! Blush

twittwooery · 03/08/2016 03:46

Takes up ~50% of the screen

It's a person?! I thought it was a pile of freshly washed towels!

LyndaNotLinda · 03/08/2016 04:04

Euew just noticed the creepy hand. I thought it was laundry too.

CaitAgusMadra · 03/08/2016 10:10

The typo is wrecking my head too. Not to mention Super Baby Confused

TimMumsnet · 03/08/2016 10:25

Hey guys, thanks for pointing out the typo, sorry about that Blush

We've fixed it and have begun the release process, so it should hopefully be on the App Store in a few days - hang in there!

Footle · 03/08/2016 10:32

Tim, what does that mean ?

TimMumsnet · 03/08/2016 11:02

Footle the release process is where Apple have to approve the app, every time we make some changes to it.

So even when the changes are really minor, it always takes a few days before it will be approved, then update on your phone. Does that make more sense?

peaceloveandtwirlywoos · 03/08/2016 12:53

Ehh why does this thread need to be hidden? Are Persil cross because we don't like their doughy mannequin?

cozietoesie · 03/08/2016 12:53

Gosh. What did Tim say? Grin

cozietoesie · 03/08/2016 12:57

I'm guessing that MNHQ are trialling new advertising on the app to see what proves acceptable - to all parties - and what doesn't.

TimMumsnet · 03/08/2016 14:26

Sorry guys, nothing that flammatory - the post just repeated itself, so it was deleted. In reflection, it now looks far more suspicious...

Footle · 03/08/2016 14:29

Thanks for replying, Tim. So the mobile app will or won't be treating us to the space-baby and similar ads ?
