Hey Taptu-ers,
So our big news is out and so is our brilliant, new universal Apple App available for iPad, iPhones and iPod Touches.
Packed with a full host of features that let you get in that DJ booth to mix your news around your widest interests to your most niche passions.
In the StreamStudio, Add, Remove or Merge sources from more than 15,000 of our very own pre-loaded, Taptu curated streams or start with a fresh canvas and build your own streams by simply dropping your feeds on top of each other to start a new mix. Best of all, you can easily share any stream, especially the ones you create, with your Twitter followers or publish to your Facebook friends. Emailing stories and streams is also a cinch with one click. Mark any story with the bookmark tab on the reading pane to create a saved story stream of your favorites so you can go back later and check out your favorite stories.
Speaking of Facebook, Taptu got a facelift on our Facebook page so check that out. You can easily gift our Taptu App to your closest friends and colleagues.

Happy DJ-ing! We can’t wait to hear your feedback.

Looks really cool. Any chance of a Windows Phone 7 app??
Possibly. We are monitoring the situation with NOKIA and will consider accordingly.
thanks a lot,

Hi, really cool app! I’m wondering if I could put forward a couple of requests:
1. You know there’s the 3×3 preview queue on the right side of each stream? They’re too small to be informative, and only take up screen room. It’s a good concept, but not that useful.
2. Deleting streams should be faster. I would prefer not to have that confirmation dialogue.
3. The greying out read articles feature is really cool. Any chance you could also add a “mark all as read” button?
Thank you!
Bill
Hey Bill,
thanks for taking the time to comment on our blog. Please see below a few thoughts:
1. This is what we internally call a downstream, and we plan to convert this to minimised version of the stream. We find in some case when a photo is available, that it gives you enough context to click on the card. ie. on fb or twitter the avatar may be enough info for you to click on this card.
2. A confirmation dialogue is almost standard practise, but i hear you. You can always delete a stream on the streamstore, via unselecting already added streams.
3. We are considering this feature. A lot of Taptu users have requested that. Please watch this space, i think it will be a feature we will introduce very soon.
I hope that’s helpful,
KP
