Thanks to all MacDailyNews app users for your patience!

MDN is MacDailyNews in your pocket! Now, even on the go, you won’t miss a story.

Just like MacDailyNews, the MDN app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch features daily news about Apple, Mac OS X, the Macintosh platform, iPad, iPhone, 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. To control the various aspects of notifications (Sounds, Alerts, Badges), on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > Notifications > MDN.

If you are asked for permission to use your device’s location services, that is for iAds (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 amount of ads remains exactly the same in this latest version of the app and 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
- Full article display with dynamic Reader Feedback
- One-button tap for instant, dedicated feedback
- Easy login screen for registered users
- AAPL stock ticker with NASDAQ index

What’s New in version 2.2.9:
- Adapted for new MacDailyNews website.
- Dedicated server for Push Notifications.
- Content loading/reloading greatly improved.
- Numerous bug fixes and improvements.

Reminder: To manage Push Notifications on your iOS device goto Settings>Notifications>MDN. There you can designate Sounds, Alerts, and/or Badges to be on or off.

If you already have the app, you should quit it – or even delete it – prior to installing the new version in order to avoid any first run issues.

NOTE: Push Notifications will not be active right off the bat, but will start ASAP. Thank you.

Since everything changed with the new site, some to do list items remain, including:
• Integrating WordPress logins
• Formatting content area and font size adjustments on iPad version
• Other minor and backend adjustments
• Push Notifications to be activated ASAP!
