How do I rewind to the old app! Just can’t get on with this.

@mumsnetis there a way to remove threads that have been deleted from your watchlist? It just gives me an error message. Thanks

I would like to know this too - there is a thread in mine that has been deleted and I am unable to unwatch or remove it from my list - if I select unwatch, I receive an error message and there doesn’t seem to be any other way to remove it.

Are you able to help?

Not being able to select text is rubbish - not only for quoting a small amount of a long post, but also for being able to look up words/names easily.

bookmarks seem to be a law unto themselves, and paragraphs aren’t capitalising the first letter <—-

the old app wasn’t great, but it was better than this mess. I’m now finding I’m reluctant to open Mumsnet, which is good for my productivity I suppose!

Same regarding reluctance to open mn

Ooh you fixed the flip! Thank you @BeckyAMumsnet et al! Is the colour sorted too? I am still on the iPhone black /orange invert so can’t tell.

The flip is still the annoying two-step process on mine…

from reading other threads I think it’s only rolled out to the iOS app so far. Hope it comes to you soon too.

The colours problem hasn’t been fixed - stay with the black and orange Halloween colours

HowToBuy · 22/03/2025 11:41

I see the flip has been fixed which is great! Could we also get the flip back when filtering by OP posts only? Real pain having to scroll all the way to the end, particularly when OP has posted a lot

CaptBirdsEar · 01/04/2025 09:41

I still can’t get on with the new format. I can’t see where the latest post is. I don’t like the colour changes. Awful

Hello @CaptBirdsEar please keep an eye on Amelia's updates on this thread - we are working through all the issues reported and updating here.

HowToBuy · 01/04/2025 13:34

Yay! We got the flip back for OPs posts! 👏

JaneJeffer · 01/04/2025 14:27

Now we’ve got disappearing emojis on the app?

@BeckyAMumsnetthe MN emojis aren’t appearing on the app but can be seen on the mobile site

Not on iPhone app I don’t.

CaptBirdsEar · 02/04/2025 20:11

I want to see the latest posts first. But I can’t see that option.

CaptBirdsEar · 02/04/2025 20:22

It’s frustrating I go to a thread I’m watching. I want to see the latest post first. Please tell me how I do this because at the moment I have to swipe swipe swipe to get to the latest post!

@CaptBirdsEaron iOS go to the ⬆️⬇️ in the top right corner and it’ll flip to the latest post

No it doesn’t. I have to keep swiping down that’s my problem

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 02/04/2025 20:28

That’s weird

Yes

I wish they hadn’t changed it

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/04/2025 20:53

You can’t cut and paste parts of comments, you can only quote full posts.

When you tap out of the comment you are writing to re-read something, you can’t tap back in to continue your edit.

There is no dark mode.

JaneJeffer · 02/04/2025 21:07

I can’t get used to this new app at all. There’s so many issues with it. When you @ someone the next word you type gets joined to their name
