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)

      By Copernic · Posted

      AIMP 5.40 Build 2721 by Razvan Serea AIMP is a powerful audio player that allows you to listen to your favorite music with an outstanding sound quality. Its appearance resembles that of another classical audio player (Winamp). The program includes a 20-band equalizer, a visualization window to display rhythmic visual effects and a playlist editor to organize your audio files. A nice fading effect makes your list of songs look like an endless music loop and a handy volume normalizing feature avoids drastic volume changes between tracks. Also, the players main functions can be conveniently controlled by global hotkeys. Besides playing music, AIMP features three extra utilities which also enable you to record any sound on your computer, convert audio files from one format to another and view or edit tags. AIMP is based on the well-known audio engine BASS, so its easy to connect new plug-ins (from the plug-in library included in the program) and expand the players functionality.

Bookmarks and Playback Queue: Facilitates creating bookmarks and managing a playback queue. Rating and Auto-Marks: Collects statistics on track listening and automatically calculates ratings and marks for listened tracks. Plugin Support: Allows the addition of new utilities or extensions to existing features through plugins. Built-in Scrobbler: Supports Last.fm, Libre.fm, and ListenBrainz services for scrobbling. Cloud Integration: Supports OneDrive, Google Drive, DropBox, Облако@mail.ru, Яндекс.Диск, and custom WebDAV clouds. Podcasts: Offers podcast support for subscribing and listening. Hotkeys: Allows configuration of local and global hotkeys. Multi-User Mode Support: Supports multiple users working on one computer. Multi-Language Interface: Provides a multi-language interface. 4K and High DPI Support: Supports scale factors of 125%, 150%, 175%, and 200% for high-resolution displays.

    • Notion is shutting down its email client one year after launch

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Notion is shutting down its email client one year after launch by David Uzondu In April 2025, Notion launched Notion Mail, an AI-powered email client that acted as a customizable overlay for your existing accounts. Instead of replacing Gmail entirely, it reimagined how users interacted with their inboxes by offering features like intelligent auto-labeling alongside automated calendar scheduling. Now, a little over a year later, Notion has announced that it is shutting it all down on September 22. Since Notion Mail is a frontend client, most of your Gmail data will remain safe inside your Google account, but the company said that you must export stuff specific to Notion Mail, like snippets, custom auto-label instructions, email drafts, and scheduled drafts, before the deadline. Starting today, June 25, you can export that data directly from the app or the web interface, and this grace period will last all the way until September 21. Once September 22 arrives, Notion will permanently delete all unsaved local assets, including files you attached to snippets. Your existing database syncs and mail blocks will persist, though they will stop receiving new messages after the shutdown. Notion advises that if you or your company operate within a regulated environment, you must transition off earlier than the general shutdown date to maintain compliance. Companies that rely on HIPAA coverage face an even tighter timeline and must transition away from the platform by June 30th. Notion, in its X announcement post, basically said that it doesn't see the point of maintaining a standalone email client, especially when users have shifted their habits toward automation. The platform pointed to its Notion agents, which it claims "more than half of Notion Mail users" already employ to manage emails without ever opening an actual inbox, so it is "going all in" on using these agents to run your inbox. Notion introduced Notion Agents last September at the "Make With Notion" conference, giving users AI-powered digital assistants that can do stuff like run in the background on specific schedules (e.g., summarizing your daily open tasks every morning at 8 AM).
