I'm not sure I understand who this is for. The copy reads "Acorn allows you to
piggy back off the market leader and give you much higher visibility. With
Acorn, the results of a query are shortened to just those apps that do what
yours does."

So I can use it find competing apps. That's fine, cut why would a consumer do
that? They don't want apps, they want to do something. Seeing a map of a bunch
of other apps that are similar to something they already use I think is
somewhat useless.

Do people want new apps to do the same thing their existing apps do? Or do
they want new apps that change their lives and do something new?? I suspect
the later.

I am guessing that as a consumer you may want to find a better option to what
you are already using or thinking about using.
