How is the Android app SO bad?

Paragraphs are non existent, I can't tag other posters, no matter what MN emoji I use it always appears as a bottle of gin for me, there are no thread deleted messages just a loading error message and it seems to default my topic randomly which is how I ended up asking property for hair care advice yesterday!

Hi OP

We're going to flag your feedback to our app developers.
We're working on quite a lot at the moment, and do have lots of plans for improvement in place - please do bear with us. Flowers

Hey everyone - you're right, the Android app is a long way behind the iOS app! We're working on the Android app currently, but it has a lot of catching up to do.

@Seeline I'm currently struggling to adapt the Android app to accept heic images, although normal png and jpg images should be fine. We released a new version 4 days ago in the Google Play Store that has made some improvements, can you let me know if it makes any difference for you?

@floofycroissant thanks for mentioning those other issues, the deleted messages one I didn't realise, and I know what you mean with the incorrect topics bug. Both should be fairly easy to fix.

I'll pop another message on here when I've made some progress, thanks for your patience!

@Seeline fair, socials login is also on our list to add!

@floofycroissant I've just released a test version of the app that shows deleted thread messages and removes the default topic selection in the thread composer, could you take a look before I release it to all users?

You can sign up for it here: play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mumsnet.talk then you'll need to go to open the Talk app in the Play store and download the test version of the app.

It's really helpful to know:

  1. Does it fix what was broken?
  2. Does anything else go wrong (crashes or other bugs)

Thanks!

@floofycroissant that's strange! Well I've now released it on the Play Store, so you should be able to update the app as normal here - I hope it helps!

@floofycroissant also just found the bug with paragraphs in the Android app. I think it was breaking whenever there was an emoticon in the post. I'll add it to the next release we make.

Hey @sunnymondays, unfortunately you're right, there's a number of things that are missing in the Android app that are in the iOS app. Currently we're working on social login, but 'filter by OP' is on the list. Thanks for letting us know you use it, we'll get there!
