Nothing stops a frontend to add features to the basic showing
functionality, for example the web frontend can also include those
social features to users to comment and rate the app, but the phone
front end just implement a search/install feature.

The idea is to define a good base to free/easey the
developer/matainers the work of upload an aplication somewhere else
than a repository.
