Congratulations to the Pebble team, I'm a big fan and have a app on their store[1].

But the store needs some improvement:

* Paid apps are not allowed

* Sections default to the recently updated list which is encouraging frivolous updates to apps

* Developer support requests can take several weeks

None of these problems will stop me from developing apps for the Pebble platform. I just hope they are at least thinking about app store discoverability issues.

Neat app. My first thought was to put IAPs in the iOS app that controls the pebble, and use IAPs to configure what the pebble application is able to do.
