App downloads trends analytics

08 May 2021

Following the release of WOWidget as a free app, downloads has skyrocketed.

I announced the price on Indie hackers and Hacker news.

All of these new downloads resulted in a total of 1 review. Compared to historical data, it makes me think that all these downloads were artificial. I can't think of a valid reason why someone would do this, but the chart spike sure does look nice :)

UPDATE: It seems that the spike was caused by my re-published reddit post. I originally posted WOWidget on reddit back in May 2020, but only recently did I realize that my submission was flagged and made private.
