They're both native apps. You can hardly expect Jolla team to write every single app in the store themselves; what'd be the point of there having a store for people to add their apps to? :)

i dont expect and will never ask about apps like xbmcremote, poker even facebook or anything like this, but i will ask for apps what should be default from the phone developer, like calculator or flashlight, just 'tools' wich were included all the time

to your comment, if they making weather, why not currency converter, from my angle of view, i can take a look from window to check weather, but have to open some app to check currency

This goes slightly off-topic, but...

The reason why e.g. Google didn't provide basic essential apps for Android in the beginning was the fact that it would have had a negative effect on developers interest towards the ecosystem. Google has the resources and skill to make killer apps, but they try not to, since that would unmotivate developers app ideas since "an OEM app close to perfect" already exists. However, to date they have integrated some essential apps to Android (like calclulator and notepad (google keep), etc.).

I'm not saying that Jolla is (or should be) like Google, but what I do agree with is that the company (Jolla) should focus on the core OS (SFOS) and let the community build the surrounding ecosystem.
