HiddenApps is a new App Store application from David Goelzhaeuser that lets you hide stock apps, launch field test, and disable iAds without jailbreaking.
The official description reads, "HiddenApps is a simple and easy app that shows you tips and tricks about your iDevice." However, in actuality the app lets you: Hide apps, Disable all iAds, and launch iOS Diagnostics, iAdOptOut, and Field Test. Unfortunately, you will need to rehide apps after a reboot but that isn't too difficult.
It's highly likely that Apple will remove this app. We'd suggest downloading it now if you haven't already.
You can download HiddenApps from the App Store for free.

This app should remove ads from apps, right! Well, it didn't.

No you are wrong. It only hides ads from ( iAd ) and does not or is suppose to hide ads coming from the app itself when you open an actual app itself. The reason for the app mentioned above is so that apple does not treat your device, that you worked so hard on purchasing like a junkyard. Otherwise you would be carrying a 600 dollar junkyard in your pocket....

Its because apple knows what this does and apple wants to sent unsolicited ads to your devices when ever they want. This is why they currently trademarked ( iAd )... Soon people's devices will be receiving ads without consent. If you want to use a apple device you have to accept the EULA to receive ads when ever apple wants to send such ads.

It says cannot download Poof. Don't worry though. That's how the exploit works. When it says that, simply click Done and delete the empty Poof! app, and voila! Gone!

I got it as soon as I read this article 4 hours ago Apple pulled it rather quickly though. Having an article highlighting that Apple would pull it probably didn't help This is a sort of high-profile blog that engineers in Apple more than likely monitor

When install (and failing) with "poof" what it is doing is hiding the chosen app. Just delete the poof icon after the failed message.
