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

 

But yes it's legit.

Unacceptable.. What kind of ship are you running here

 

COUNCIL,

RELEASE THE KRAKEN!

Well I wonder how long it was there for before it was discovered

Feb 7 as shown in the "app update" part.

I don't know, should I be worried?  Is the world ending?

I just installed it and logged in (posting from desktop now though) it seems pretty cool!

Thanks for subbing Evil Overlord!

Don't know if this will be the case but this may help with data usage [emoji2]

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)

[Mando]

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  message prompts, switched most off and now running sweet.

 

pocket-neowin  gets a big  from me.

K but what are your impressions?

[The Evil Overlord]

It's a little buggy, some usernames come up as 'unknown'
A little bit too busy, but otherwise it's OK average
Quicker than loading up chrome and logging in on my Oukitel

[The Evil Overlord]

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)

I also disabled the notifications

OMG how did I miss this!!! 

[The Evil Overlord]

^ lol

 

Also to the relevant teams, any updates? I had to stop using it for a while as some of the member names kept appearing as 'unknown' and ignored member posts were visible.
