Bug Description
I'm a developer on the Polarr team for Linux, and users should be able to find the Polarr app under the Photography category of the Ubuntu Software store.
I attached a screenshot of the Photography category in the Ubuntu 16.04 Software store. The other categories are similarly non-functional.
As you can see, there are only ellipses where there should be icons and descriptive text for each of the photography applications. Clicking on the items doesn't do anything.
