I'm surprised too. Isn't this essentially an ad? I guess it's OK because it's a free app.

So many things on HN could be considered ads. People often post about even non-major releases of SaaS products. The launch of a brand new powerful app and the entry of a big company into a new market seems a lot more newsworthy than most of those.
Isn’t everything an ad? Even when someone posts a GitHub link to their project?
Yes but they're not trying to sell their open source project to us
Should we ban new iPhone releases from being discussed here? Other tech released as well?
The app is free
