"I've found good apps through AppGratis and I've seen a lot of crap. We all know what the business is about for them and for app companies and for them to protest otherwise is just silly. Do they really think we buy this? The real story here is the irresponsibility of the CEO and of investors building a business around a clear violation of the terms from Apple whether Apple approved it in the first place or not. The lure of cash will get you, if you slack off on the due diligence or choose to ignore the potential threat.
