Great news: we just launched MailChimp Mobile v2 for iPhone and Android. The app has been totally re-written from the ground up. Its design now more closely matches our recent re-branding, and it has some nice new features pulled in from “MailChimp proper”:

Better reports:

• shows tweets and retweets of your campaign
• see opens by location
• track eCommerce orders (warning: highly addictive)

• see recent subscribers
• list member view with gravatars
• user-agent stats (show you what email program they use)
• subscriber geo location

Miscellaneous enhancements:

• supports multiple MailChimp accounts
• passcode lock screen for security
• log in with API key and phone’s camera (especially handy for our Google Apps users). Only supported on iPhone for now, but Android coming soon.
• Android app has support for widgets, and iOS has a “report card view” for your 5 recent campaigns

Install it free:

MailChimp v6.5 was launched Monday and Tuesday. All new features should be live in your account now.

Here’s what’s new:

• ZIP code data backfilled, so you can geo-target without asking for address info
• New templates, including Thanksgiving
• Unsub notifications can be turned off

Sorry for the late post on this, but we launched v6.4 on Monday. The changes were subtle, but significant:

1. Totally rebuilt our Facebook integration to make it easier
2. Local currency options: Euros and British Pounds
3. New templates for the holidays
4. AlterEgo native iPhone and Android apps

We launched AlterEgo, our free 2-factor authentication service, back in May (here’s the back story, if you missed it). When we first launched, it was only available as a web app, which is nice and universally accessible, but not quite as snappy as a native app on your smartphone. And when it comes to logging in to an app, snappy’s really important. So the guys in our mobile lab built AlterEgo apps for iPhone and Android. Now, it’s super easy and super fast to add an extra layer of security on top of your MailChimp account. If you haven’t tried AlterEgo, you should activate it for your MailChimp account (it’s free), and then download the app to your smartphone:

• Download AlterEgo for iPhone
• Download the Android app

MailChimp is about to hit a pretty special milestone—we’re fast approaching our millionth user. This calls for a celebration, and since we always celebrate by giving away free stuff, we’re really going over the top for this one.

When we hit a million, we’ll give away 1,000 plushies, 2,000 chimp hats (the chimp hats for humans, not to be confused with the the chimp hats for cats or our Pyow-cat-shaped hats for humans and dogs) and 10,000 shirts. If history is a guide, they’re going to disappear in no time.

If you want to get in on the action, bookmark this countdown timer.

You can also sign up for our marketing list to get notified when the giveaway is imminent, and follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

From all of us, thanks for using MailChimp. Here’s to another million!
