MacDailyNews is pleased to announce the release of version 2 of our free MDN (MacDailyNews) app on Apple’s iTunes App Store.
With MacDailyNews in your pocket, even on the go, you won’t miss a story.
Just like MacDailyNews, the MDN app for iPhone and iPod touch features daily news about Apple, Mac OS X, the Macintosh platform, iPhone, and iPod, and more. It’s where the Mac community goes to discuss these daily Apple-related news items in their own words with real-time Reader Feedback.
The MDN app offers Push Notifications When enabled, the MDN app will notify users when each new article is posted.
As always, to control the various aspects of notifications (Sounds, Alerts, Badges), on your iPhone or iPod touch, tap Settings>Notifications>MDN.
We have now switched fully from Google’s AdMob to Apple’s Quattro Wireless. If you are asked for permission to use your device’s location services, that is for Quattro Wireless (Apple Inc.) to deliver more relevant ads to you. If you decline, your ads will likely be less useful to you; you might get ads for snow shovels in Singapore or ads for a Seattle pizza place in New York. The minimal amount of ads (1 per page on front, 3 per page in articles) remains exactly the same in this latest version of the app (however, we are currently testing some new Quattro Wireless formats, so thanks for your patience) and the amount of ads is unaffected by your decision to allow localization info or not.
Features include:
- Quick, up-to-the minute Apple-related news headlines
- Visited headlines change color; so you know what you’ve read at a glance
- Push notifications
- Easy-to-read layouts for both portrait and landscape modes
