<h1>The Idea:</h1> A Steem "App Store" would revolutionize the free app model for developers.
This store would function much like steemit, except instead of using votes, it would use downloads and reviews.

**High downloads + good reviews = more money.**

Reviews should of course be weighed far more than downloads, as to prevent low quality "click-bate" apps from rising to the top.

**This model would effectively kill off both microtransactions AND advertisements.  Both of which hinder the user experience, and generally make aps worse!**

<h1>Implementation</h1> The appstore could be a subdivision of the upcoming Steem Market.
It should also allow users to create "premium" apps, in which they can charge Steem Dollars for.

<h1>Conclusion</h1>I think this would be a fantastic way for devs to release high-quality work, reach their audience, and still earn money for themselves **WITHOUT** hindering user experience.  Let me know what you guys think.
