This MeowMeowBeenz app is a parody of the appthat showed up on NBC's 'Community'. No, it doesn't categorize thepeople in your life. (Seriously, would you want to do that anyway?)So, if you've landed here and expected to find an App thatfunctions just exactly like the App on NBC's Community, well, thenyou'll likely be disappointed with this version of MeowMeowBeenz.It doesn't (as in, "does not") pit you against others, manicallytrying to reach greater and larger numbers. Showing someone thatyou're a "5" will not necessarily get you a free Starbucks latte(but it is rumored to allow you to adjust Greendale's thermostats).On the other hand, if the idea of loading up a friend's photo,assigning them an onscreen MeowMeowBeenz level (complete withmeow-meow sounds) then turning your phone around and sayingsomething like, "Ha! I've given you the same level as Abed!" You'dprobably get one of those priceless moments where your friend looksat your phone, then back at you, and wonders, "What just happened?Am I now a FIVE???"It'd be one of those silly only-do-it-once kind of funnymoments. And that would be it.If that sounds like fun, and might bring a smile or two, thendownload away!** MeowMeowBeenz **Want to add yourself? A friend? Tap the main graphic once forcamera. Press and hold to get to your device's gallery.A customname can also be entered at the top, just type the area with theflashing cursor.Ready to bestow the beenz? Tap one of the five cats along thebottom. The rating should change appropriately. I've been havingfun taking screenshots and texting them to friends (They're all5's, of course.) (My Galaxy S3 can produce a screenshot by holdingdown the main and power buttons simultaneously. Your mileage maydiffer.)Have fun, and see you at Community! :)FAQ:Q: What episode/show of Community did MeowMeowBeans, uhhh,MeowMeowBeenz show up?A: Season 5, Episode 8 "App Development and Condiments" - March 6,2014http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3278596/?ref_=tt_ep_ep8Q: Does the MeowMeowBeenz App actually transmitdata/rankings/ratings to the Community College Servers?A: No data is transferred from the app, nor can others see how youmay have rated them.This only attempts to be a fun mock-up of whatwas depicted on the show.Q: Do folks listen to Britta more when there's *brown*, ratherthan *yellow* mustard on her face?A: This has yet to be tested. Someone have her give me a call andI'll break out the Goulden's.Q: How can I make my own photo (or a friend's) looksuper-authentic with the App?A: Create a graphic/photo with the dimensions of 325x220 pixels.It'll size much better, especially if you're using a mobile devicesimilar to what showed up on the show.Q: Is there anyway to save the photos?A: Other than taking a screenshot from your device, there iscurrently not a way to save a custom MeowMeowBeenz setting. But Iam still kicking around some ideas, so stay tuned.Q: Will my MeowMeowBeenz count drop for not rating your app with5 stars?A: Why even take that chance. ;)
