    When the CEO of Apple takes time out of his busy schedule to personally approve your app, you know you’re on to something. After all, if you haven’t heard of Charlie Hebdo by now, you must be living under a bridge. In Guatemala.

    Whereas an app normally takes a while to receive Apple’s stamp of approval the Je Suis Charlie app has been fast-tracked onto the market. According to Mashable:

    …one of Cook’s assistants responded a mere ten minutes after the initial email was sent and the app was live in the App Store soon thereafter.

    As you may have guessed by the name the app (available for download HERE) helps users around the world show solidarity with the Parisian magazine, connecting you with fellow ‘Charlies’:

    The app opens with a map of your location and a counter that keeps tabs on how many “Charlies” there are. To add yourself to their number — nearly 89,000 as of this writing — tap the Je Suis Charlie logo, which geotags your current location with the raised fist holding a pencil.

     

    I suppose it makes a pleasant change from people using location-based apps to find easy one-night hookups, although we won’t hear a bad word said about that.

    You can download the app HERE.
