App features

Thought I'd create a separate thread as I've only even asked questions about it in others. I'd appreciate a reply that isn't 'in the near future'.

I use the app 97% of the time, for various reasons, but mainly because I find it much more accessible to me than the mobile version.

When will these features be available to app users?

  • the ability to quote a quoted post
  • voting

There are more things, but these are the most pressing for me as they impact my experience of the site.

Can anyone tell me when these will become available to users?

Any reason why features aren't available in the app when they're made for the mobile site?

Thank you, @NotAnotherBathBomb - we're working on improving the apps and so threads like this are really helpful. Please tell us what you like, don't like and what you want.

Apologies - I pressed post too soon!

We can't give an exact time frame right now but the work is underway and as we go further along, we can keep you more informed.

Hi @NotAnotherBathBomb, @Vexxa, @Ladybug14 & @SocksForceFive

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts on how we could improve the Talk app. Like YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet mentioned, we’re looking into how we can improve them, and we’re really keen to hear from users like yourselves!

We’re currently collecting app specific feedback, so if you have 15 minutes spare, could you please fill out this survey? Thank you!

Thanks for filling that out and sharing your thoughts @NotAnotherBathBomb, we really appreciate it!

@wineymummy Thanks for feeding back on the Android app. We're conscious that the iOS and Android apps are very different, and we're looking to address this. We'd love to hear from you via this survey too if you haven't completed it already.

Hi there @NotAnotherBathBomb.

We’re continuing to work on the new apps and are aiming to release the first version later this year. We’ll be reaching out to some users who completed the above survey this week to ask if they’d like to do some 1-2-1 testing, so keep an eye on your inbox if you’d like to be involved!

The technology we currently use for the apps is dated and clunky, so it isn’t easy to add new features to them in the way we do on mobile web. As part of the improving the apps, we’re updating the technology that’s used to build them. This will make it much easier for us to add new features in the future and bring them up-to-date with the majority of features on web.

Hope that gives you a bit more information, and hopefully the new app features will be worth the wait!
