    Yeah count me in too :)

    Why not do it as a simple blog post though? I don't really mind that much either way, but PDFs can be a little clunky sometimes.

    still compiling data

    Hey guys,

    thanks for the interest

    at this moment, we are still compiling data, including the data
    of the lifetime of the durability of our ranking (not sure if that is a good english phrase)

    so we need about 2 weeks to compare data,

    as we told you, this is not going to be a simple blog post..

    but a nice pdf with fancy graphs.. so that it would really benefit all of us

    Thanks guys for the interest

    Anyone else interested? any questions?

    Thanks

    Anton

    We would be interested to see it.

    We've found similar results to the numbers quoted here. A free promotion that got our Bird Strike app to US#1 resulted in about 1.3m downloads in 4 days. The peak was 388,609 copies in a single day, on April 14th.

    Thank you, I don't know why the OP doesn't just tell us some numbers like so.

    Top paid US #5 = 7500 downloads on sat/sun

    Wow I knew it was exponential as you got higher up the charts, but that is a HUGE gap from #2 to #1... We peaked at #2 free game and saw a maximum of 140,000 downloads in a day. Of course it will vary depending on tons of different variables but still, that's a big difference.

    Anyway, more interestingly though is how did that kind of success (1 million+ users) affect your paid sales afterward, if you're willing to share?
