Guys I upgraded our Tapatalk account to premium, they build the apps, not me :p I wasn't even notified that the Android app was in the Play Store :s 

 

But yes it's legit.

Unacceptable.. What kind of ship are you running here

 

COUNCIL,

I hope there's some way to relay the feedback to tapatalk from here, as the home site dev team have an understanding of queries within the site, as opposed to contacting a third party app dev, and they respond with 'I don't know what you're talking about'

Of course we'll relay back and forth as need be, I just wanted to make it clear that we can't fix things directly ourselves. Feedback should be posted on Neowin, and then we'll collate and relay it to our contact there as need be

Can you give examples of what you can and can't change?

Essentially we can change nothing. There's an API installed on the forum that they use to grab the data, but once they have it, how they display and format it etc, is entirely down to them.

Back to the serious stuff

Could a suggestion be relayed regarding notifications?

Could they be grouped? As in, if there are multiple notifications in one topic, instead of 15 separate notes, just have it change to one notification stating the 15 responses within, bit like the one for facebook?

(I get a lot of individual notifications that have to be mass cleared or removed individually)

tbh its shaping up quite nicely, running quickly and for me responsive adding quick replies, chrome on my G3 had a habit of going a bit haywire sometimes, but this is smooth.

 

Had to switch off notifications though dammed device wouldn't stop dinging :p message prompts, switched most off and now running sweet.

 

pocket-neowin :) gets a big (Y) from me.

All in all

it's ok for what it is, (in my opinion,)

 

I use it as a shortcut, as logging in via chrome on my phone takes longer, had to turn off notifications though, one day I'll have to fine tune them a little (which is doable within the app itself)

    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.

      You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂

      Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
