    People discovering their apps watch them.

    Amazon is definitely going to plug that hole.

      It’s not a hole they see it as a service. You can even give feedback on their notes about you.

        Yeah they have removed it - between when I looked at it on my phone this morning while procrastinating about getting out of bed and now it has been removed from the UK website - the below link still works (modified to .uk)
