Since the app discovery process in the Apple's own App Store (or on an iDevice) is far away from acceptable user experience, it is not a big surprise that companies like AppGratis are trying to fill this niche.

Apple's ban does not help in improving users' [that's us] experience. A better response from Apple would be fixing core of the matter.

I recall that couple of years ago Apple purchased app search&discovery start-up for circa $50M. Looks like reverse integration took place... unfortunately.

I discovered more high quality apps on HN than in App Store.
