It's currently Mac only.

App Store only too. God I hate the way the Mac app store wants my password even for free apps. I've got to switch to my browser, enter my nice long lastpass and copy and paste it into the app.

I've never got the non-browser lastpass working.

I despise the fact that you need a valid credit card number on file to download or even update free apps.

Not true, you can create an iTunes account without a credit card: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT204034

Have you tried changing the free downloads password setting? See http://lifehacker.com/allow-free-downloads-from-the-mac-app-...

It's set and I just tried to download a free app - and it asked for my password.

It was only yesterday that I entered my password for another free app so it's not just a '30 day expiry' thing.
