After watching the video and reading the FAQ, I still don'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?

If so, I'm personally not interested. No offense, it just feels as painful of a user experience as iAd.

I'd much rather programmatically call up the app discovery grid based on some action a user in my app takes.

That all said, my comment may be moot, but I wouldn't be able to tell because I haven't been able to figure out how Xplode works from the Xplode site.

Good points! Integration is completely customizable. The bar is optional, and you're free to programmatically call up the grid using breakpoints defined in your code. If you do choose to integrate the bar, it can be completely customized to fit the style of your app. It can also be placed on the top of your interface if this is more appropriate.

We're allowing complete customization so that the developers that know their users best can decide how to implement it in their apps.

Ahh ok - that's much, much more appealing. I would definitely consider something like this.
