Apps that display Apps other than your own for purchase or promotion in a manner similar to or confusing with the App Store will be rejected, unless designed for a specific approved need (e.g. health management, aviation, accessibility, etc.) or which provide significant added value for a specific group of customers

After watching the video and reading the FAQ, I still don&#x27;t really understand how it works. Is there some bar always hanging out at the bottom of my app that a user taps on to bring up the app discovery grid?<p>If so, I&#x27;m personally not interested. No offense, it just feels as painful of a user experience as iAd.<p>I&#x27;d much rather programmatically call up the app discovery grid based on some action a user in my app takes.<p>That all said, my comment may be moot, but I wouldn&#x27;t be able to tell because I haven&#x27;t been able to figure out how Xplode works from the Xplode site.

Stop with the buzzwords. How does it work? Tell me and I&#x27;ll pay you.<p>As it is, it looks like a bunch of BS. And Disney uses it? Really? Do you want me to email some exec from Disney to verify this? Because I have a contact.. don&#x27;t make me do it!

Your blue &lt;h2&gt; tagged text is underlined on hover, leading me to believe they are links. They are not.<p>Right away, I am unhappy.<p>Then I realize this is your how it works page and there is no text about how it works anywhere on the page.<p>-Actually, that&#x27;s not your how it works page, you&#x27;ve just got the wrong link in your faq, taking me to &#x2F;#how-it-works and not #!page&#x2F;how-it-works. Pretty confusing.<p>I don&#x27;t want to watch your video. If you want me to watch it, you&#x27;d probably do better by having a mid-sized box video preview, so I don&#x27;t worry that the player isn&#x27;t embedded.<p>You can&#x27;t have a CTR of 140%. That&#x27;s not possible. It would mean 40% more people clicked an ad than saw it. I&#x27;m not the mayor of Chicago; I can&#x27;t get more people to vote for me than exist in my district. Likewise, you have to see my ad to click it.

I would be really curious to see a ratio comparing user engagement and usage when they download from something like this vs when they discover you on the app store.<p>I would assume that app store or other inbound discovery that was within the context of their search would become a much more engaged user of my app - but I would really like to see data on that spread.

Does anyone have suggestions on their favorite static site generator for building a standard html&#x2F;css&#x2F;js website? Looking for basic templating and file formats sublime will understand how to work with.

I&#x27;d like to try it. But guess I need an invite. If you can send one that would be awesome.<p>Our company is currently looking for a new iOS monetization strategy.

Why won&#x27;t they be up front and explain how they plan to make money?

140% CTR? What does that even mean?
