It's definitely an outage at Apple; thousands of apps are affected by this.
The "in-app purchase" system has started returning invalid data which is crashing apps on launch.

There are two workarounds I know of at this time:

1) turn on Airplane Mode or disconnect your iOS device from the wireless network
2) disable in-app purchases on the device. (Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases = OFF)

The second option means you can stay connected to wireless or 3G. The problem only happens when the app queries the in-app purchase server (which it automatically does on launch, normally) so if you're not online or you turn off in-app purchases, it should avoid the problem for now.

No ETA yet on when Apple will have this fixed, but I will keep on it.

Thanks!

Amos

whatever was happening on Apple's side may have been fixed by now; I just re-enabled in-app purchases and Animoog did not crash on launch. Perhaps the storm has passed!

The app is still showing 1.02 after installing 1.03 but the crashing is now fixed.

See my post on page 1. The 1.0.3 iPad app has an incorrectly labeled splash/startup screen. If you downloaded 1.0.3, you are running 1.0.3 despite what the splash screen says. To verify on iPad:

Settings/General/Usage/Show all Apps(if Animoog is not displayed)/Animoog

The correct version will be displayed here.
