Pierre, thanks for the great post. I have one question for you:
I've heard that the download:rating ratio for iOS apps is around 30:1 and you can, therefore, estimate an app's downloads by multiplying ratings by 30. Do you have any thoughts on this?
You seem to have a higher ratio based on your numbers and the ratings in the app store.
Thanks again.
- PierreA 13y agoI've never heard about this. Some apps have a lot of "fake" 5-stars rating and are not performing very well...
- josephlord 13y agoI think the ratio for at least free apps that don't pop up a request to review the app is MUCH higher. It is at least for my small scale app. I don't have any fake reviews (although there might be two or three from friends and family) and while I don't have metrics for the number in active use the number of updates downloaded on a recent update was 130 times the number of reviews I have and the total number of downloads is well over 400 times the review count. Review counts and download numbers global. A user generally only sees the reviews in their own country's app store I think. I really don't want to do it to the user experience but I might have add a pop up requesting rating when a user has used the app enough, I've only had a couple of reviews in the past few months.
