-download the latest DMGs from https://github.com/robaho/seashore/releases
+Seashore is now on the App Store !!! If you add your positive review there, it will do wonders for the proliferation of Seashore.

+You can also download the latest DMG releases [here](https://github.com/robaho/seashore/releases), but these will no longer perform "update checks" - since this requires the App Store.
 
 **The current version requires 10.7+. If you are on an earlier OSX version, I suggest downloading the 0.6.6 binaries from seashore.sourceforge.net. Most likely you need to download the "hfs" version in order to open on an older Mac.**
