Hi guys we have built a search engine for local apps, 98% of the apps in the stores has less than 50.000 downloads, that is not a healthy ecosystem. For us each application has a place and each location is a store. Is no the first time we got rejected ;) Apple did not allow to publish our search engine back in July and later on they publish "Popular" Near me. We will keep fightint for a fair store and organic positioning for every indie dev. Hope you like what we are trying to do. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.mapplas.co... www.mapplas.com

I just want to warn you, google will also remove your app once they notice it. Apple & Google do not want anyone competing with their stores.
What are you talking about? Quixey.com is an app that let users discover apps and hasn't been removed from the android app store. Plus it has raised millions from Eric Schmidt's fund, Innovation Endeavors.
And xyo.net has an app aswell, google is not apple.
thanks mate, hope for the best prepare for the worst.
