I agree, this is really bad. You wrote "If your app is one of the *TOP*downloaded apps when you put it online, it will go in Top [Free/ Paid] New." But a new app can't be one of the top downloaded apps when it gets online. It always has 0 downloads first.
So the only possibility to get good downlods for new apps is to launch massive advertising campaigns for them, am I right?
