WhoNews version 2.01 is now with Apple waiting to be reviewed and released.

This version increases iOS5 compatibility and more importantly adds a new channel where artists, writers and creative Whovians can publish their work. Included in the new section is the Daily Dalek by Tony Naylor, Beck Seashols wonderful and cute Doctor Who Doodles and Jim Wilkins The Void Noir

The channel is growing all the time and I’m always happy to add Who related fan material, so if you know someone or would like your work included contact me on Twitter at @Who_News or email address at the bottom of the page.

New feeds have recently been added to WhoNews. So welcome to the Doctor Who Reprint Society whose aim is get affordable reprints of classic publications into the hands of fans that want to read them.

Also stepping aboard is Gary Gillatt, writer for Doctor Who Magazine, who has just reviewed Frontios on his blog. His blog is called Squabbling Rubber if you want to find it in WhoNews under the sites view.

If there are more feeds you like added to WhoNews just let me know.

I’ve had a few enquires on how you can turn off the the push notification alerts in WhoNews.

Notification settings are handled outside of WhoNews but here is how to do it:

1. Tap Settings on the iPhone/iPad Screen
2. Tap Notifications
3. Scroll to WhoNews and tap it to configure notifications just for WhoNews
4. Select whether you just want the alert sound off or the alert to be disabled as well. Badges are not currently used by WhoNews.

If you need further help just contact me using the Contact Developer button in WhoNews.

If you would like to put a link to WhoNews on your website and potentially earn a commission on every download of WhoNews you generate then take a look at the new Affiliate page

I’ve provided details of how you can easily add this to your website and added images which you can use if required.

Don’t expect to become a millionaire over night though

If you have any questions just let me know.

I’m afraid I’ve had to add a little filtering to the blogs collated and reported by WhoNews. It has come to my attention that certain sites actively promote the downloading of episodes of Doctor Who and Torchwood from the internet and whilst they do not host the videos, they do actively promote links to other sites.

This is not something WhoNews can endorse or support and consequently I have put in place measures to actively removes news articles which promote such downloads. If I don’t take action I run the risk of WhoNews being accused of actively promoting such activites, especially since it actively pushes out over 11,000 updates a day currently to users. This could result in WhoNews being removed from the App Store.

I hope you understand why WhoNews won’t report all the articles from some sites now and the reasoning behind it.

WhoNews receives notifications of news updates and now I have also added blogs and podcasts. Each update is either prefixed with News:, Blogs: or Podcast: to indicate where you can find the update.

I’m also pushing all the news, blogs and podcast updates to my twitter feed @Who_News so this can be a great account to follow if you want to stay in touch with all the latest news.

The headline page now also displays the latest headlines for News, Blogs and Podcasts. You can take a look here
