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

It's fine during the day. Come 7pm it's horrendous.

ballsdeep · 27/01/2020 22:49

It's been absolutely dreadful for the past few days and is getting worse.
I keep getting kicked out of threads and asked to log in, then my log in details aren't recognised and I'm logged in all along!!!!!

CinderEmma · 28/01/2020 09:28

I find it's only on an evening that I have any problems

BlackWhitePurple · 28/01/2020 09:34

I've been thinking for a while that they maybe need to rebuild the app from scratch - it's generally quite buggy. I imagine it's how most people access the forums, too. Needs a redesign to be easier to quote existing posts, search through posts etc. The iPhone version is ok, but the Android one isn't great (I can never manage to produce paragraphs when I use it).

I've been having the connection problems too, though not as bad as some people here seem to be!

AuntieMarys · 28/01/2020 10:55

Same here ballsdeep

RedTartanLass · 28/01/2020 11:29

Can't even get on it now!! Took me ages to open this thread!! iPhone App
Driving. Me. Mad!

JaneJeffer · 28/01/2020 21:19

Really bad at the moment...

PanicAndRun · 28/01/2020 21:31

Pretty much unusable at this time of night. Have to refresh many times which sometimes doesn't even work or takes ages , hit and miss whether I can post. Normally I just give up, go on something else then try again later.

MozzchopsThirty · 28/01/2020 22:14

This every single thread I look at
All day
Every day

What's going on with the app
It's rubbish at the moment

PennyRoyal · 28/01/2020 22:53

Still the same here.
@CarolineMumsnet Has anyone got to the bottom of it yet?

OhCisOff · 28/01/2020 23:29

I've been having same issues on iPhone X running latest iOS.

I don't think it can be linked and probably just coincidence but so far it's only happening to me on WiFi (not just my house WiFi but my friends and also my Mothers) I switch to mobile data and it works fine, go to WiFi and shit won't load again.

thesunwillout · 29/01/2020 00:15

I started this thread last week, I don't think anyone's looking into it.

Hi, thanks for all the reports on this. We're still trying to get to the bottom of the issue, and will let you know when we have a solution. Flowers

Nomorelaundry · 29/01/2020 21:21

Please please fix this 😭 I'm on the verge of actually having a conversation with my husband.

TokyoSushi · 30/01/2020 07:35

Please try harder Mumsnet, the app is virtually unusable in the evening!

Nogodsnomasters · 30/01/2020 08:38

I also can't start threads on the app and have to open my browser through Google if I want to start a new thread. I thought it was my old crappy phone but last month I got a new phone and the same thing is happening. Also get the "oops bad connection" when I don't, even when im on my WiFi. It also makes me log in repeatedly.

Sharpkat · 30/01/2020 20:23

Here we go again......

AuntieMarys · 30/01/2020 22:07

Getting fed up. Shocking tonight!!! Bad connection message almost constantly

AuntieMarys · 30/01/2020 22:11

Driving me mad tonight! Saying bad connection constantly

tinytemper66 · 30/01/2020 22:12

I get this on the app many times a day! It isn't my phone or my wifi so it is your site!

Ihavechangedmyname2manytimes · 30/01/2020 22:33

Same for me since yesterday. I am on iPad.

tinytemper66 · 31/01/2020 06:50

Don't rush to fix your errors mind!

TwoPointFourKidsAndADog · 31/01/2020 07:39

It just did it to me on this thread just now - 07:38 this morning, but after a few seconds it refreshed itself without me having to do anything.

RedtartanLass · 01/02/2020 22:23

FFS I can't watch threads now! If I swipe to select watch nothing comes up! What is going on?
This is in the app

tinytemper66 · 02/02/2020 20:06
