I have recently decided to drag myself into current century and replaced my brick with a touch screen android phone.

I am slowly learning my way round it and I find sites like Facebook pretty easy to navigate, answer questions on etc.

I am struggling with the forum though and wondered if anyone had any suggestions.

I know how to do that thing when you stretch the window so it looks bigger but then it all disappears and I can't see buttons or post properly.

Any tips guys please? :D

I didnt even know it was on an android phone yet...is it on the iphone yet? x

My tip - still do it on the laptop;) Or maybe that's because my eyesight is pants x

Does this mean you're going to be even more efficient than you already are Sarah?
Hugs and good luck (I bought a new iphone last weekend and am too scared to use it)

:laughing::laughing::laughing:
I just got an I phone...but I have to make sure I have reading glasses to hand as I can't actually ready anything...unless I hold it a couple of feet away!!:D

Your still holding your fingers on it so it's reducing the size again Sarah :laughing:

Keep practicing and don't be scared ...unless you got thrown off like I was last night :laughing:

Im posting via my phone! Once I write in the answer I click done and then 'pinch' the screen back to normal size, I'm on an iPhone yours may be different though?

I have an Android, and think that the froum could have an app?? (Richardio??)

The only access will be through your internet, you need to slide and open the creen and type then reduce, I have found holding it Horizontal easier for typing posts and Fb messages x

i read the forum through my browser and hold the phone sideways! i'm usually increasing & reducing the page to read & write, then search/look/send!

enjoy!

On my android i simply tap the screen twice and this makes it fill the screen properly and you dont lose any of the buttons. Typing can be a bit of a pain as everything is squashed slightly but i always make sure i have mine sideways and this helps.

I will try sideways ... keep my fingers off it and use the little pen thing... and Ooooooo double tapping it works!! :jump for joy:

I really want to get it sussed before I go away so I can use it rather than dragging the laptop but I get the feeling I'll still need both for a while :o

Thank you guys! :clapping:

yesssssssssss

i hate touch screen phones :panic: am due for an upgrade but am going for a blackberry as I like buttons :blush::laughing:

I hate the internet unless I can see properly so won't be doing internet on my new phone - in fact I got it disabled on my current one :laughing:

I love my android phone using it now but don't ask me how:D

Please issue us with very basic instructions how to use the app, I can't use the childcare,co.uk one, I just get in a mess :blush:

Once the apps are launched I will post information on the forum.

They will be easy to use :)

Seeing as I already use my phone to access the forum will it make much difference using an app

I am not sure Richard will know what you are talking about - unless his wife has read it of course :laughing::laughing:

I have no idea to be honestI don't know whats a smart phone and android or whatever. I have an iphone4s i use it to sent texts and make telephone calls I learned how to use the camera so sadly I am going to be totally useless to you on this one but I wish you lots of luck:)

Please issue us with very basic instructions how to use the app, I can't use the childcare,co.uk one, I just get in a mess :blush:

Sorry to hear you are having problems with the Childcare.co.uk Android app.

It should be quite easy to use. What are you getting in a mess with?
