Boxcar 2.2

Boxcar just let us know Boxcar 2.2 [Free/in-app purchases - iTunes link] has been served up piping hot to the iPhone (and iPod touch) App Store. Here are some highlights:

  • Push for RSS feeds (powered by Superfeedr)
  • Push for Growl notifications
  • Now supports TweetDeck and Natsulion
  • Toggle off hidden Facebook and Twitter re-tweet API notifications
  • All new inbox that brings the pretty and the function

Boxcar remains one of the most popular options for enabling push notifications when and where they’re not natively supported in other apps. Once again, the first push service is free, and additional ones cost $0.99 via in-app purchase, so you can pay for just exactly what you want.

If you’ve been waiting to get your RSS or Growl on, or your Facebook or re-tweets off, and you give Boxcar 2.2 a try, let us know how it works for you.

    The Boxcar competition (Letmeknow) has many more features and has become one of my favorite apps. As a systems engineer the ping subscription let me know when any of my servers go down. Priceless!
