Neat, but I can't think of a single case in which I'd actually use it. In almost all cases the icons are displayed with text under them that show the name of the app.
It's certainly a cool idea, and very novel and non-obvious (at least to me). Well done.
I'd be concerned about getting many users to install/use it, though, because it always takes up a space on the Home screen, when it'll only very rarely get used. I wonder if we'll see more uptake of apps like this when users get on OS 4 with its folders... I could see myself keeping a few folders of "rarely used utility" apps. As it is, I wouldn't keep this app on my device just because of the "clutter" aspect.
The App Store comment saying it should be cheaper made me laugh.

Two use cases where it may be useful:
1- you snap an app from your friend's iPhone screen and tap on the Install button (i.e. app sharing)
2- snap an app from your computer screen (a review site for example) then Install/Bookmark

It was pretty expensive a few days ago: $1.99 :-)
