Comprovisation

Ruby Helper is now available in the App Store for more than 8 weeks, so we think it's time to take a look at the download statistics. With the end of the 8th week of it's approval, the app has been downloaded 1679 times including 593 upgrades from 1.0 to 1.1. Relating the number of upgrades to the number of downloads before the release of version 1.1 results in an upgrade rate of currently 65%.

After the initial peak, the average number of downloads per week seems to settle at about 80. The lowest daily value was 9 downloads, the highest 119 downloads on the first day or 215 downloads when including the number of upgrades on the first full day of version 1.1 (4th of May).

Looking at the countries, the most downloads came from the USA with about 45% of all downloads. Second is Japan with 11% followed by Germany with 7%, the UK with 5% and France with 3%. All other countries are below 3%. (It would be interesting to correlate this data with the distribution of Ruby developers as well as sold iPhones in these countries...)

Last but not least, three user wrote a review in the App Store, two of them voted with 4 stars, one with 5 stars. The average value of all ratings (including those without text) is 3.5 stars.
