At the moment, there is no user facing message about this - the app just does not appear in the list of available apps.

+    there is a genuine bug in the app that prevents it from running Please refer to the comment section in apps.owncloud.com to check if others have raised similar problems. Note that the score and download numbers of an app are a helpful, but not a sufficient measure of the quality and security of an app.
