    Hi Guys,
    I just checked the app store and everything seems to be out of place...
    All the games in the top categories are misaligned....

    Top paid app is iglowstick and top paid game is "Worlds Hardest game"

    Did the store got hacked?
    :confused::confused::confused::confused:

    Hmmm Skee Ball is still first in games for me.

    Edit: so it depends when I refresh! Sometimes its 1, sometimes its 13, another time it was 7! That was my base app to look for - the rest were always different!

    I monitor a lot of games and they are all screwed up in their rankings....

    Glowstick I hope enjoyed it while it lasted!
     
  19. Yeah something is definitely up. My game just went from #64 to #6 in word games... and Scrabble seems to have fallen off the chart entirely. Such a tease... :p
