Posted by Jeanna Barrett on February 3, 2010 · Comments 

We’re always movin’ and a shakin’ here at Whrrl – proud to be constantly pushing out new updates and features that our users have been requesting.

All iPhone users should have a Whrrl update in the app store available for download now. This update includes two significant features that we’ve been working hard to include:

  1. Push notifications
  2. Merchant offers (deals available near or at the place you check in at. To read more about our merchant offer program, go here: http://faq.whrrl.com/merchants)

We’ve also fixed a few known bugs in this version too. To get the latest app, got to http://whrrl.com/getiphone.

As usual, we love to hear feedback from our users. Shake your iPhone to send in feedback, or email any thoughts, bugs, ideas, etc that you might have to feedback@whrrl.com.

  • This sounds like a good idea, but Foursquare is already doing [something like] this. I'd like to see some more uniquely Whrrly opportunities for co-promotion. As one possible example, during a visit to Matthews Cellars in Woodinville, I saw that they were offering tasting discounts to people who took a photo and posted it to Twitter. Here's a photo that I took (and posted) of the sign advertising the offer: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gumption/3767239286/

    I think the integration of photos (and notes) with places (and people) is one of the coolest features in Whrrl ... and so I wonder whether promotions that combine the photos and notes with checkins would offer a more distinctive value proposition for merchants.
