I suggested a part of this bug as an idea in Ubuntu Brainstorm (idea #28234: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/28234/), but they closed it and told me that I should report it here.
So I copy it here again.

For "Apps Available for Download" I think three solutions are possible:
1. Showing a tooltip under the mouse pointer for each app, including a short description of that app, would make it more clear.
2. It is not useful having this section in Unity applications luncher. So, it is better to remove this part. People who want to download new apps, know that the way is going to software center.
3. New users may not be familiar with Ubuntu Software Center.
So, completely removing "Apps Available for download" from Unity applications luncher may make it confusing for them.
Replacing this part with just a link (for example "Download more apps...") to open software center will make it easier to use and learn.
It also would be an easy shortcut to software center for old users and software center's icon can be removed from Unity side-bar.
