The app isn’t working properly on iPad

It looks like the app has autoupdated to the new version - the Active/watching etc buttons are now at the top rather than the bottom which is much less easy to use. But the big problem is that I can read but not reply or start a new thread (I’m having to do this in the browser which is much less easy to read) and none of the settings buttons seem to be responding,

I logged out and in again, that didn’t help.

Yes thanks that does work

I’m amazed they have the gall to try and make this site a paid for service with stuff like this happening so often.

Indeed!

I've had it suddenly happen this morning, all was fine yesterday and there's been no iOS update.

Cyclistmumgrandma · 09/03/2025 11:32

Still a problem here this morning.

Thanks @verityveritas for the workaround.

I think my Nutracheck app has just changed the position of its toolbar from the bottom to the top like the MN one today, on my iPad but not iPhone. However, all of its buttons still seem to work.

Yes my iPad app has changed and cannot post

chilling19 · 10/03/2025 02:45

Using quote test (clicking the x button)

Worked

Tiredmumno1 · 10/03/2025 09:04

Agggghhhh it's so annoying having the menu across the top please MNHQ put it back 🙏

MadKittenWoman · 10/03/2025 10:25

I can’t post or reply on the iPad app either. Buttons have moved to the top also but this doesn’t bother me.

As I mentioned upthread the menu seems to have moved in a similar way on another app I use, I don't think this is a deliberate change by MN.

Same here, also an iPad user. Hopefully they will sort it soon!

Defiantly41 · 10/03/2025 16:23

Not working for me either, have tried deleting and reinstalling. Also the buttons at the top are really inconvenient

Given it seems to have been the unexpected consequence of a change by apple, I'd have been astonished if they could have analysed, worked out a solution, adequately tested and published it in one working day.

Phew not just me then! Thanks for the tip to quote.
Although I've managed a straight reply on another thread using my iPhone.

nokidshere · 11/03/2025 11:12

I have all the same problems on my iPad & iPhone. Cannot use the app at all other than to read.

Cismyfatarse · 11/03/2025 16:54

Not working here either. Still.

ErrolTheDragon · 11/03/2025 17:03

It's still working ok for me on the phone but I don't have auto updates enabled on that
