Hi all,
I just released a free app, called "Android Market Rank" that let's you find an app's elusive android rank. You can see exactly what an app's current rank is, what was the lowest (best) it's ever been, and what the highest (worst) it's ever been. It also has a graph that shows how the rank has changed over time. As a developer, this is really useful information because the higher your rank is, the higher your visibility to all android users.
What is android rank and how is it calculated?
No one knows how google calculates an app's rank but many have their theories. Your rank corresponds to what place you are in the category list of apps. For example, in the Arcade & Action free list, Angry Birds is #1 (of course), Glow Hockey is #3, and Robo Defense FREE is #9.
Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions.
