Breaking news - AppGratis is gone from the App Store
Out of nowhere, after a pretty mundane weekend, the ground-breaking news has arrived - AppGratis, the famous app discovery service, is gone from the App Store. Apple has removed the app and if you click on “Download on the App Store’ badge on http://appgratis.com you’ll be directed to the French App Store but you won’t find the app there either. Apparently it was removed from all App Store local versions.
As usually with such sudden issues there aren’t any comments on the AppGratis side but I’m sure they are in talks with Apple at the moment. Perhaps there is a technical issue with the app’s latest build and the situation isn’t that scary as well all collectively assume. Stay tuned - we suppose to have a clearer picture of what’s going on within the next day or two.

Bad move by Apple. This will discourage developers, the prospect of someone else having 100% control over your revenue stream is a scary one...

Well, no, not in the slightest.
