Don't really know anything about the app store but maybe there should be some sort of listing by rating of people that have paid for it? It seems a bit stupid

It seems a bit stupid that to see more copies you need to have a high volume to crack into a best selling list.
- credo 17y ago>>It seems a bit stupid that to see more copies you need to have a high volume to crack into a best selling list. Why do you say it is stupid ? Shouldn't a "best selling list" be created based on the definition of a "best selling list" ? Btw rankings based on the standard "best seller" definition cannot be maniuplated the way that rankings based on "ratings" can be manipulated. imo Apple's current ranking policy - ranking by best-seller-list and also ranking by most-revenue-earned (i.e. the top grossing list) - is good.
- stonemetal 17y ago>>rankings based on the standard "best seller" definition cannot be maniuplated Why not?(I don't have an iPhone, so I really don't know anything about it.) It would be fairly easy to buy your own app. A $0.99 app and 30% fee to apple, you could buy your app 300 times a week for $90. If it is really that much of a hit driven market it might be worth it. Apple would love it(cash and being able to claim the next billion sold that much faster.)
- JacobAldridge 17y agoLike what movie studios do. The general 'most popular' list is the highest grossing films of all time, which is based on box office receipts not the number of tickets sold. Apple could do something similar - highest grossing games, not just number sold. Would balance out factors like those the OP discuss.
