Posted by Jeanna Barrett on February 3, 2010 · 1 Comment 

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.

Proximity Based Notifications & Granular Settings

Posted by Danielle Morrill on October 9, 2008 · 2 Comments 

Is your feed overflowing with activity?  Worried you might miss the chance to connect with someone nearby because there’s just so much going on?  Now you can choose to receive alerts from Whrrl based on where your friends are in relation to you.

Configure your notification settings with any of these proximity levels:

  • Nearby (1/4 mi)
  • Walking distance (1 mile)
  • In your neighborhood (3 miles)
  • Everywhere

Get Content You Care About

Beyond being notified when a friend checks in nearby, you can customize what activity generates a notification with our granular notification settings:

Cut Through the Noise

If your friends are attending a conference or event and their activity is cluttering up your feed, use the mute feature to block notifications from them specifically.  Search as you type to quickly create a list of people you want to mute.  You can un-mute them again at any time.

Are there other notification settings you’d like to see in Whrrl?  We want to hear your ideas, please contact us at feedback@whrrl.com or drop us a note on Twitter @Whrrl.
