I don't believe this is the case: - Only my paid version dropped in install %, the free version is still the same as before. - My ranking in my category has dropped from 3 to 10 in the course of a week, for no apparent reason (no new competitors, no sudden 1- stars), so the only explanation is the install %. My competitors have not dropped in this time frame. - My app is a personal finance package costing $10. It's not something people buy, enter their data and then willy-nilly uninstall in droves. If it were a $0.99 calculator, I can see that happening, but not an app that people used to keep track of their money.
I believe what has happened to my app (and a few other posters on here) is limited to only some apps.
