App Store rank tracking that (hopefully) doesn’t suck
Published on 9/01/2012I’ve recently become fairly obsessed with watching the ebb and flow of App Store rankings. This started recently, following the release of SpriteRight, but has since extended to encompass a number of unrelated applications.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find a simple, uncluttered web interface for viewing historic App Store ranking data. Which is why I spent this weekend knocking up AppStoreRank.net. It’s a fairly simple site with a fairly simple objective: display data and don’t piss people off in the process.
I use it to track my own applications and to also get an appreciation for just how turbulent ranking can be towards the lower end of the top 100 scale. Hopefully some of you find it interesting too.
