Most recent update: +113 downloads, -131 active installs. Numbers just don't add up. I would not think by chance that this would happen, consistently over a 4 day period when a months worth of data says that both the downloads increase as well as the active installs. So far I've lost 16% points and I've gone down over 20 positions in the popularity list. Is my application just all of the sudden performing very poorly even though I consistently get 4 and 5 star reviews? Or is there something going on with the stats?
Could anyone with any knowledge about this please respond?
