Neowin has upgraded to TapaTalk Premium, apps on the way


Recommended Posts

Yesterday I enabled the Premium package for TapaTalk which means we'll be getting branded apps for Android and iOS. They are currently pending review.

 

The TapaTalk forum plugin was also updated yesterday, Smart Banner is now truly disabled, and instead I have left the option to display a (one time) message to download the branded app on a supported device whenever anyone accesses the forum on Android or iOS (once the apps are actually available).

 

Sigs are also disabled, and forum topics no longer have a TapaTalk favicon when linking in other programs (Slack/Skype etc).

 

Another important note: I have had to enable "allow sign in from Tapatalk for known users" which uses your Tapatalk account - this is required for the branded apps, so, current members please ensure you check how you are signing in! 

 

It costs $10 a month, which is an additional cost on top of everything else, so it goes without saying that I hope I can rely on our most active readers to (first of all) sign up and register on Neowin, which results in fewer ads inline on pages, assuming you guys are kind enough to whitelist us.

 

We also have an ad-free option for $28/year (non recurring) for those that want to show a bit of additional support!

Oh yes, I have Android and I really didn't look at the "tabs" option I don't really understand them :s But if the first version needs updating I will be sure to make sure the tabs do what we want.

@John. do you have an example website I can check on TapaTalk for their app/layout/tabs? (and link to Play store app pls) :p

not right now but if I find one i'll link you

I know this would probably do better in a site issues thread, but I'm looking forward to the app, mainly because of the slight issue with the menu layout. 

 

The amount of times I've opened the deals page when I was trying to see notifications is huge.

EDIT: Sorry for attachment size, bloody iPhone

Ugh, well the header is being updated at the moment (completely recoded) and should solve those issues moving forward. (Y) Hopefully not too long now.

@John. just want to check if you are using Orion sticky navigation or the default Orion theme (since I have pinged the dev to this thread). The Sticky nav theme is outdated and broke in parts mate.

...Changed to default Orion and it's sorted. You absolute star! I can use the site!

I got the notification on my phone when I opened the site just now that the app is available.

    • I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."
    • “Could” … in the IS the healthcare is run by insurance companies that make indecent profits denying basic treatments to people that are paying money for nothing. Besides, where are all the Trump epigones who were stating that the tariffs were going to paid by foreign companies and not the US citizens? …
    • Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is set to receive a couple of new features soon, including a dedicated Recap app and a rather controversial location tracking functionality. The Redmond tech giant has also explained how it has made online communication and collaboration a lot more performant this year. Now, the company has detailed more secure bot admission mechanisms, as first reported by us in March 2026, and now available in Teams. As the use of AI has expanded across enterprise environments, Microsoft has begun allowing users to integrate bots into their meetings for various tasks, such as note-taking. While this has a tangible productivity benefit for users, Microsoft has highlighted how misconfiguration has allowed bots to join meetings that they shouldn't. This has created security and privacy risks, which Microsoft is now combating using a new Teams admin policy that allows organizers to control how external bots access meetings. Admins can leverage a policy called Manage external bots and their access to meetings. The default configuration is "When detected, require approval before joining", which places detected bots in a lobby before they are explicitly admitted into the meeting. The other option disables the experience. Microsoft has also requested admins to only allow organizers and co-organizers to manage access to a meeting, so that other people don't randomly allow bots into meetings. Teams will now be able to leverage infrastructure signals to intelligently detect and distinguish between bots and humans. Microsoft will soon also trial a registration experience for independent software vendors (ISVs) to build a system that registers a bot with Microsoft, so it is marked as a "known" bot. Teams will also categorize bots as trusted and suspected threats so that organizers can quickly identify which bots they want to allow into a meeting. Additional safeguards to block accidental admission of a bot into a meeting include: No one-click Admit option for identified bots Confirmation prompts when admitting participants that include bots Warnings when organizers choose Admit all, and bots are included Microsoft has begun rolling out this experience, and it will be retiring the current CAPTCHA verification implementation. In the future, the company plans to roll out new capabilities like allow-lists, organization-wide policies, admin reports, audit logs, and more granular controls.
    • With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.
