I've been there, had an app I used daily in my job. I valued it for how fast it got me the information I needed (aviation weather) without features that I didn't need getting in the way. A few friends thought it looked useful so I put it on the store and got the same rejection. I added a couple of features that nobody uses (saving weather for later viewing) and got it through. I always suspected it was that I wanted to charge Tier 3 for it and they didn't think that was justified.

Private cloud: "but it allows you to use private servers and directory systems for authentication, keeping the entire system behind your firewall and never touching AeroFS' servers". Their first product, Hybrid Cloud, used AeroFS servers for authentication.

I wonder if he gave 100% to THQ.

Thanks for the feedback lena. I am happy to say user profiles will be in the next version as we are working on them right now. Also thanks for the feedback about the Dutch description, I will fix that.

As for extra leaderboards, we are looking into it. We didn't do it at first because we thought having 15 leaderboards would be a bit over the top.

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

From what I have worked out I believe the "What's Hot" section may be automatic based on current download trends. The fact that most apps from the New and Noteworthy section end up in there is because they are suddenly getting a lot of downloads.
