After CEO Tim Cook’s apology to Apple’s customers over the inferior nature of the Maps app this morning, the company has put its money where its mouth is with custom map recommendation sections in the iPhone and iPad App Stores.

Pocket developer Steve Streza noticed the sections this morning. You can get to them from the main page of the App Store on any Apple device or in iTunes.
