 If you want better stats, you should probably use Flurry or Localytics or
 some other metric.

Do you know how to get the basic market stats (total installs, active
installs) using those?  For instance, I suspect there would not be much
difference between an uninstall and a user who simply hasn't used your app
for some time.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Total User Installs decreasing

2013-01-13 Thread Incorporate Apps

We are also seing totals going down for the last couple of months, which 
is ridiculous. Once again, Google is not responding to complains. It is 
also funny that some of the apps are not being updated on their totals for 
months either.  Some of the apps that were on the limit (lets say 50k) are 
listed as 50K+ on the Play Store where the download has decreased in the 
backend below 50 due to the recent bugs/changes. So it could be only a 
backend issue, but we doubt it.

I think this is a new tactic from Google where they will continue their 
effort in pushing out bigger non indie companies like Rovio and Disney to 
the top of the lists against the smaller ones...

Isn't that active user installs?

*Active User Installs*: Number of unique users who have the app *currently
installed* on at least one active device.
*Total User Installs*: The total number of unique users who *have ever
installed* this app on one or more of their devices.

According to the description, it sounds like Total is basically a
download count and should never go down.
