Polarr is a Snap, but the bug I intended to report here is that on
16.04, none of the items in the category list display or are clickable.
The screenshot attached to the original bug report illustrates the
problem. I couldn't say for sure whether Polarr is in the list or not
because each of the apps display as a box with an ellipsis inside: no
icon or text. One weird thing I when switching between categories is
that none of the items in the list for each category render or are
clickable, but there are different amounts of items in each category. I
know I had an internet connection because I was on a video call.

During a demo of the new Polarr Snap I was asked whether the Polarr Snap
is in the Software Store and if it showed up under the Graphics
category. I could bring up Polarr by searching for it directly. It was
kind of embarrassing though when none of the categories in the store
worked. We link our existing users to our snapcraft.io/polarr page, but
we're not featured, the categories were broken on 16.04, and we don't
show up under categories on 17.10, so there is currently no way for new
users to find Polarr in the Software Store.

Thanks for your patience, I know that y'all have a lot of work to do
with all the new Snaps coming out. I've seen categories in the Software
Store work before and maybe this is just a temporary regression; I just
wanted to share this in case you weren't aware of the problem.
