Now that Apple is going to have their own App store it will be interesting to see what happens to apps like these and Bodega. In fact if enough developers switch to Apples app store sites like Macupdate may not be needed in the future. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this all shakes out.

I would rather find software at MacUpdate and then get it from the App store than go directly to the App store. Apple has not shown itself gifted in rational searching of content in either iTunes or the iOS App store, and they censor content in a way that MacUpdate has not. An independent location and review site is important, IMHO.

Being a developer myself the App Store from Apple has its good and bad sides. The good sides are a good exposure to the customer and there's no fuss in terms of selling apps. On the other hand, Apple treats developers like dirt and doesn't give a toss if you e-mail them about a problem or not. They don't need more developers too badly.

Bodega was an idea I was initially excited about, but exposure to the customer is relatively low and it was a pain to implement their "rev share API", as we were using Open Cart.

My prediction is that Bodega and this app too will die out and that the App Store will continue to dominate the market - Apple's grown so big they can afford angry developers and still be the top choice.

Warning - check this app has a proper un-installer or un-install instructions before installing.

At best, the various associated files spread around the HD at time of installation, mean that even after trashing the app, its processes are still running in the background, unnecessarily using up cycles.

At worst, this app still flashes up on your desktop even after it has been trashed.

In my experience, it has proven very very difficult to completely get this app and its various associated files off the HD.
