+1. In fact I'm one of the users who had no idea that home page was for featured apps.

Why "Apps"?
How about we change it to "Discover" instead of "Home"?

Sure, we could do Applications instead of Apps.

The problem with "Home" as well as "Discover" is that is conveys no information about what its content is. Users want to know: "What am I seeing here?" They're seeing a list of featured/curated apps, but they don't know that unless we communicate it to them. "Featured Apps/Applications" communicates that; "Home" or "Discover" doesn't.

Okay, makes sense. Can you leave it at just "Featured"?
