// QUESTIONS
What people ask about the numbers
Are the revenue numbers exact?
No. They come from our own algorithm, and they can be wrong. Use them to compare apps and spot trends, not to count income.
Where does the data come from?
From the chart lists Apple publishes publicly on the App Store. Our algorithm turns those rankings into revenue and download figures.
How often do the numbers change?
Figures are updated daily.
Does AppHitlist cover Google Play?
No. It covers the Apple App Store only.
How should I use a figure when I pick an idea?
Look at the direction over several days more than at one number. A big gap between apps or a steady climb says more than a single figure. Then check the idea against the real reviews of the app.
