This one needs a caption badly. The best caption gets a promo code for ICHC Premium.

I’m planning to release a 99¢ ad free version of I Can Has Cheezburger as well as the free ad supported version. I’m debating whether it should also have any pro features not in the free version.
In particular, I’m adding support for the Cheezburger Authentication API, which would allow LOLs submitted by registered users [...]

I Can Has Cheezburger 1.5 is now feature complete, with only a few cosmetic issues to fix before I submit it in the next few days.
New in this version:

Use Cheezburger API to submit LOLs to ICanHasCheezburger.com

Fixed non-working movies by embdding them in a web page, which can be clicked, rather than opening the [...]

I’ve finally had a chance to get back to work on I Can Has Cheezburger and I’ve now implemented the Cheezburger API for submitting LOLs to the site. Here is the very first LOL created from the app.

I’m still not satisfied with the submission window, which I think looks too cluttered. I haven’t [...]

Site changes at I Can Has Cheezburger and the related sites have affected the feeds I use in the iPhone application. We’re all working on a fix, which hopefully will be up soon.
UPDATE: It’s working again

I have been working on implementing the new Cheezburger API in the ICHC app, but I’m starting to become unhappy with the user interface. In particular, the bottom toolbar is too cluttered and I don’t really like the action sheet I use for creating LOLs.
I’ve started redesigning it to use a navigation based user interface, [...]

I Can Has Cheezburger 1.1.1 is now ready for sale, only two days after I submitted it. This version fixes the unresponsive swipe action.

I submitted I Can Has Cheezburger 1.1.1 to the app store. It has two fixes and no new features. I’ve changed the swipe action to work the way it did in the original version: I only detect horizontal movement.
In version 1.1 I also checked that vertical motion is less than a minimum amount. As [...]

I’ve had several reports that swiping no longer works in I Can Has Cheezburger 1.1. A small part of it is that when the image is zoomed, it will not let you swipe to switch images since that same gesture will reposition the enlarged image. Double-tapping to un-zoom will once again let you switch images [...]

I Can Has Cheezburger 1.1 has been approved and is now available for sale in the app store. I’m now working on the submission API (which is still preliminary) for version 1.2.

I noticed a big surge in I Can Has Cheezburger sales on Dec. 24, as several other developers have noted.

On another note, I resubmitted version 1.1 today with the compose icon changed to a pencil (even though I think the compose icon was appropriate).

Apple rejected I Can Has Cheezburger 1.1 because they objected to the compose icon being used for the LOL composer. It sounds like they never got past the photo selection before it opens the editor.

This is what they object to:

This is definitely a composition screen, which makes that icon [...]

I’ve submitted the version 1.1 update of I Can Has Cheezburger, although I doubt if it will be approved before Christmas. Rather than wait for the server-side submission API, I’ve decided to make the other improvements available.
New in this version:

Application starts up with the last image viewed instead of starting at the beginning.

I have an update to ICanHasCheezburger almost ready to go, but I’m waiting for a server side feature before I can release it. I was going to try to release it before Christmas, but Apple says the approval process is backlogged and new submissions most likely won’t be ready before Christmas. Instead, I’m trying for [...]

I’ve submitted the official I Can Has Cheezburger iphone app to the app store. Hopefully it will be approved. I also removed the original LOLcats from sale, to avoid any confusion.
Unlike the original LOLCats, which searched Flickr for public photos, the new app uses RSS feeds from I Can Has Cheezburger and related sites, including [...]

My “offishul” I Can Has Cheezburger app is feature complete. Once I finish testing it I’ll submit it to the App Store.
This app is a complete rewrite from the original LOLCATS. Instead of searching for images on Flickr & Zooomr, which are often mislabeled and incorrectly tagged, it uses the feeds from ICanHasCheezburger, IHasAHotdog, FAIL [...]

LOLCats 1.2 is now available in the app store. The major change in this version is support for Zooomr as well as Flickr. This will be the last update, unless a critical bug is found.
This application will be superseded by the Official LOLCATS application, which will get content from I Can Has Cheezburger and several [...]

I just submitted LOLCats 1.2, which will most likely be the last version. The major new feature is Zooomr support.
I’ve shifted my attention to the Official I Can Has Cheezburger app, which will use RSS feeds from that site & related sites. Most likely I will pull this application when I release the official [...]
