Any place that offers Windows 8 App downloads is either a scam or just a site that displays and links to actual store apps. So I'd honestly just recommend using the store or official web store kemical linked above as I see no real benefits to using a third party one. You may in fact be putting yourself at risk.

With utmost respect, Mitch, that is not the complete story. In 90% of the cases, with store apps, when you click "install", the user will notice there is a warning that the procedure needs to use the internet. / "FaceGooThis App has permission to use your internet connection."
The reason for this is it then links to the original web site and downloads from there.
You can, alternatively, search, If you have some idea for what you are searching! with Google and get the same result.
Try this, if you doubt, for example, with FaceGoo. Find it in the store, or Google , FaceGoo App. You will get the same result.
The web site would be https://www.facebook.com/FaceGooApp
As you can see, this one hides under the misrepresented secure prefix HTTPS.
