I have been using my phone to get on KYM when i'm out and about, and it doesn't work all that well. I think it would be awesome if KYM made their own phone app/mobile sight; does any one else agree?

No, I'm opposed to anything to do with the iPhone or anything that has to do with touch screns.

As long as it does not affect KYM in anyway I could not give a rat's ass.
@Adam:
Have you ever used a touchscreen device? They're far, far superior to those without touchscreens.
@Thread:
Yes, we do need a mobile app or website. I do believe that Gleuch was considering adding a mobile site in the future. Though I'd like to see an iPhone and Android version. Maybe a Windows Phone 7 or BlackBerry app as well.
But yeah. I had to increase my Android's Dalvik heap size to 38MB before I could load KYM alongside a few other sites without the browser crashing. I blame Flash.

Thank god for Free Market.
What about integrating KYM into facebook? That would bring in a whole lot more users…
^I think it would bring a whole lot of people who would just try to spam us/unwanted trolls if we did that, but who knows?
KYM has already 2 Facebook pages (one from fans, the other from the staff) with daily uploads of the recent confirmed entries.
There are a lot more users clicking on "like" there than active users around here.
Yeah, but i'm talking like the kongregate app on facebook, like you can access kym through facebook, and tie
How about no.
I thought there already was a KYM app for Iphone?
If this happened, I wouldn't be able to concentrate even in school.
KYM is crack, dawg.
What would you guys want this to do? Entry info + comments? Forums…?

Meme searching for phones might let more main stream non elitist in, and to screw those few elitist over I would love it.
I would mostly want more forum support (it crashes on my phone alot) and the ability to just browse the Menes on my phone.

I think touchscreens is a stupid idea, you get the screen all smudged up. And besides, surfing the internet, watching movies, all on a minature screen? I don't think so!

But nothing beats a bigger screen. Besides, I listen to all my music on Windows Media Player and I don't need a cellphone since I have no social life

They should invented Mobile porn, give me something to do in class.
A KYM app would rule, it's impossible to comment in the I-phone safari, furthermore you have a minor inconvenience when looking at zoomed in pictures
I find that both Mobile Safari on iOS and Android 2.1-2.2's browser work reasonably well at commenting, viewing images in meme entries, and so on. Though KYM is obviously not optimized for mobile, which makes for a cumbersome, sluggish experience. This is why we need either a dedicated app or a mobile site optimized for touch. Much like what Facebook and Twitter have done. Personally, I'd rather it be a dedicated app. Having dedicated apps would allow for much more features.
@Adam:
Windows Media Player? Really? I didn't know people still used that.
The term "phone" is somewhat of a misnomer. Modern smartphones are more powerful than ever before. They offer feature sets that would be unimaginable just a few years back. No longer is a phone a phone with a few extra features, rather, it's a small computer that just happens to make phone calls.
You don't always need a large screen. Small screens work just as well as, and in many cases better than, their larger desktop-style counterparts. I know I like Twitter, YouTube, and media much better on my Android. It removes the focus from the device and software, placing it where it belongs--the content.
@Shadowfury, If you said that you tried using Mobile Safari on iOS devices or in Google Android's web browser? I tried to go to KYM using Opera Mini™ on my Nokia phone and it turns to the mobile site version. It is not perfect for mobile phones and it is too sluggish Why they don't make a KYM mobile site (such as m.knowyourmeme.com or knowyourmeme.mobi) or make an app for an iOS devices, Google Android phones, BlackBerry phones, Windows Phone 7 devices and for Nokia phones.
@Adam, Windows Media Player? really? Did you mean PC is better than a mobile? Did you hate cellphones? Smartphones are now too powerful and it has more features. You don't need a big-ass screens or someone else from the computer.
@Adam, and why did you hate some touchscreens? My mom and my big brother got a Samsung touchscreen phones. And why you hate mobile phones? Because you had a fucking laptop. More people get fucking pissed off.
@jason…..this may sound stranger than hell coming from me…..but you double posted, dude……
A KYM app would be fuggin' amazing. I would finally be able to browse the newest memes smoothly and at a decent resolution (the site resolution is fucked on my iPhone).
