My game publishing experience on Google Play (5) -- App's ranking in Google Play

   An year ago when I was excited about our old app's first launch, I found an app analytic tool with marvelously beautiful user interface, which happened to be App Annie. However, not until recently when our App reaches Rank 500 in some specific countries did I realized what App Annie shows us.

    App Annie records the full country rank charts on app markets, which frees you from repeatedly changing your phone setting and manually scroll-through the whole chart. In addition, it keeps track of the history rank of each app, which are not shown in your Google Play back-end.

    Following is an example of our app's performance:

Figure 1. The statistic of our app shown on App Annie, Oct 5, 2013.

    As you may already know, there are six charts on Google Play:

1. Top Paid
2. Top Free
3. Top Grossing
4. Top New Paid *1
5. Top New Free *1
6. Trending

    App Annie provides all of above excepts "6. Trending". My guess is App Annie doesn't show it since it is not a strongly ordered list.

    *1 "New" is for apps that are published in last 30 days.

This is a series sharing my publishing and cooperating experience on Google Play game.
