Ok guys, how the heck do you track worldwide Google Play rankings? AppAnnie was good for that with iOS, but as far as we can see, rather worthless for Android. Meaning: I see that our game was ranked #190 in new free apps (Action / Arcade) in US on my Android phone. Been that way for over 24 hours and has risen since to #154.
However as of now, still AppAnnie says “Not ranked in any country” and this is true for every day since release. What??? Is there a better service for this?
Apparently it’s some sort of temporary new problem with AppAnnie. However I would still like to know any alternatives. Anyone?
Hi Brian
Nick here from App Annie. I just did a little digging for you and I think I can see what’s going on.
On 22 May, Attack of the Wall St. Titan was ranked at 128 in US - Games - Arcade Action - Top New Free
We picked up this ranking here: http://www.appannie.com/top/android/united-states/game/arcade/?date=2013-05-22
The reason this doesn’t show up in your Rank History or Daily Ranks report is that these reports don’t include Top New Free or Top New Paid. They only cover Top Paid, Top Free Top Grossing.
I realise this is annoying, and it’s certainly something we we’re planning to axdd in the future.
Cheers
Nick
Ah, ok Nick. Thanks for the update.
