Will Samsung change it's false advertisement of Tizen Incentive?
Can Samsung-developed apps and preloaded apps be listed in the Top 100?
Samsung-developed apps, preloaded apps, Samsung staff-developed apps and apps funded with more than $10,000 by Samsung are restricted from participating in the Incentive Program and are excluded from being rewarded, but such apps can be included in the Tizen Store Monthly Top 100. (The Monthly Top 100 is announced based on the Tizen Store download calculation method.)
 
What do indie developers have to gain in participating this challenge when Samsung is not willing to exclude apps which were developed by Samsung and it's partners etc.? 
Each month the number of apps that will get rewards will keep coming down. Feb it was 56, then March 45, April 30, May 15, June 5, July 0, Aug 0, Sep 0, Oct 0. It's not worth it to spend time time in writing apps in C/C++ ( == takes lots of times approx 5-6 weeks even to develop a simple 3-4 screens app.
Bottomline: quit developing for Tizen. 
Bye bye Tizen!

looks like they will not. Thay will not get good quality apps with this approach, just prank and (more or less) fake apps...

How do you know that there is 45 winners in March?

does anyone notice that when your apps get 20000 download you will be remove from new free store list, and also it looks like there was some apps curration on top free list, we developer just need fair play right, than please make a good terms and don't make adjustment behind the screen, thanks

top free depends on downloads count and Tzien Store internal factors, so apps from top free do not have to be in top100.
