Square has updated its iOS app with few new features for both merchants and customers. Version 2.2 introduces the ability for merchants to reward their regular customers with discounts. Simply define what makes for a “regular customer” (i.e. how many visits per month) and assign an automatic discount to their tab when they check out.
The other new thing is support for physical receipts. Square can connect to receipt printers, allowing merchants to give their customers a physical evidence of their purchase, if they fancy so. In addition, there’s the option to wirelessly open the cash register, which can be handy for cafés where a person might pay by card but want quarters in exchange for a dollar bill to get a paper.
Finally, the application now features the new “tips” field on the checkout screen.
Square has recently surpassed $2 billion in payments per year and we’re pretty confident that’s just a start (with more to come)…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
