Not sure if this is the proper forum for this, but I had a question regarding app rankings. A new health and fitness app, 'Fitness XT' came out that is #1 ranked in the category and I believe one of the top 200 overall. I read some reviews (already 199 reviews posted in a matter of days), which said that they artificially
bumped up the app to remain ranked that high.
How does an app that was out for only few days (which is not advertised on other outside websites through google searches, beat iFitness and other well-established apps in 'grossing' rankings)?
