Are we sure the rewind list isn't decided by one staff member at Apple, who ticks a few boxes one morning at their cubicle?

Somehow I knew the app wasn't going to be free after reading the article: "I just have no idea, except maybe that's it a really quality app [that you too can feature on you homescreen for just 99 cents]".

That seems overly cynical. He designed a method of vectorising images in order to ensure quality of resized stamps - I don't think you should be complaining that he's charging for such work.

What I don't understand is why Apple wouldn't indicate why an app is featured - if for example high quality and innovation are prized then this should be lauded aloud to encourage others.

So I bought the app and checked it out. I may be cynical, but I also buy apps, (and my right to be cynical).

I made an image with the app just now: http://i44.tinypic.com/aua3ic.jpg

Review: 3 stars Good UX path on loading the app, guides you through steps. The designer of this app has done well to make a sensible interface, with only some work needed on the settings screen and the labeling choices there.

Replay value is another question. There's no sequencing layout tools or anything relating to more than the single image you're working on. Tools are not that powerful, but they do their job ok. It does one trick, and most people will probably use it one time.

Yep, the vector thing is pretty cool.

Now it just needs the ability to arrange and re-arrange multiple images, and swipe through them as a slideshow. Throw in a library of sound effects to assign each slide, with animated visual effects for little movie-making mobile graphic novels... and THEN it'd be a paid app worthy of promotion in my mind, but this is a good start.
