Unless I'm on the desktop like now.
I'm on Android, have re installed the app etc.
Not sure what's going on, it's been happening all day

Come on mumsnet sort this out!

ChipInTheSugar · 26/01/2020 21:26

And then this ... (iPhone 8, latest update)

Sometimes putting airplane mode on for a couple of seconds sorts it, but it's a faff and annoying.

Struggling on the App with iPhone & iPad.
Threads don't open, have to keep refreshing.
When they download if you try and flip them to see the latest posts that takes ages!

Just mumsnet - nothing wrong with my WiFi ☹️

Yes. Has got worse for me this afternoon and evening. All other websites are working fine. This has been days/weeks now.

JaneJeffer · 26/01/2020 21:49

Been really bad the last few days.

Me too. iPad using the app.

PickwickThePlockingDodo · 26/01/2020 22:36

It's pretty unusable now.......

Seeline · 27/01/2020 07:29

I wanted to post last night but things were so bad I gave up.

Active threads wouldn't load, then the thread wouldn't load and then it wouldn't let me post.

Yes, it is always far worse in the evenings, but problems do occur at other times.

All my other apps work without any issues.

Android app on Motorola phone.

SittingontheSidelines · 27/01/2020 08:11

iOS App on iPhone. Keeps telling me I've no connection. I have everything else works fine.

Runnerduck34 · 27/01/2020 09:20

Yes I get that message frequently on the app, or the threads flash up for a second then the screen goes completely white ( no error message) very frustrating, never happens on pc, so I think the app is a bit flaky. I'm using an android phone ( pixel).

YellowJellyfish · 27/01/2020 10:51

Yup seems to be getting worse no matter what time of day. I was on at 1am. Still had the error message!!

iPhone app

Hi, thanks for all the reports. We're taking another look at this and will be in touch if we have any updates. Thanks for your patience. Flowers

JaneJeffer · 27/01/2020 21:01

Any joy?

TabbyStar · 27/01/2020 21:03

Tonight seems even worse.

Luaa · 27/01/2020 21:25

Mine has been months now. It started with bad connection message when clicking on some threads, then I couldn't open any topics unless they were my favourite topics, could only go to active threads and I couldn't start threads.

I'm on the app on an android device

AuntieMarys · 27/01/2020 21:28

Nightmare. Android...have uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it is still shocking. Bad connection message.

RosieCockle · 27/01/2020 21:33

I get this all the time. iPhone. No problem with WiFi on other apps.

FawnDrench · 27/01/2020 21:40

It's bloody terrible tonight - on Ipad app.
Slow and sluggish, threads won't load etc.
Constant oops message, and it's definitely not my wi-fi.
Took me ages to get on this one "live".

TwoPointFourKidsAndADog · 27/01/2020 21:41

Yep, it's as bad as ever. Tried to log in at 21:35 tonight and the first thread said my connection was failed.

IPhone 7 with iOS 13.3, everything up to date app wise.

TwoPointFourKidsAndADog · 27/01/2020 21:42

It's painfully slow at loading and posting too. I've never known it this bad!

PennyRoyal · 27/01/2020 21:44

Tonight is worse than ever. Says I have not internet connection, but I do! Took 5 mins to see anything, then another 2-3 mins for thread titles to load and more to actually open a thread.
iPhone up to date iOS and up to date app.

Oopsinamechangedagain2020 · 27/01/2020 21:51

On the iPhone app. Tonight is really bad. Slow at loading threads and slow at bookmarking.

chilling19 · 27/01/2020 22:01

iPad app - really problematic tonight

thesunwillout · 27/01/2020 22:05

It's so bad why isn't it being sorted out.

TokyoSushi · 27/01/2020 22:08

Can hardly even get this thread to load! It's been absolutely dreadful the last few days, worse than ever - if that's even possible!

Love Mumsnet, hate the app!
