An iOS app like that would run into trouble

"Applications that include filtering, bookmarking, searching or sharing recommendations are not considered significantly different from the App Store, therefore they cannot be approved by Apple."

"Appidemia has managed to acquire more than 200,000 users"

At the moment the web version is handling iOS. We are working on the iOS app. We'll see in two weeks how it goes...
A really popular iOS developer just had one of his app updates rejected because it linked to other iOS apps: https://twitter.com/marcoarment/status/554119074893275137

He was only linking to 5 or so apps, and it was hidden away in a Settings menu.

I really wouldn't invest too much in having this work for iOS.

I know this is a risk, but we have done our best not to make it a store. We'll know soon if that works.
