Installs you can defend. Measured, not modelled.
Google Play publishes an exact lifetime install count for every app, behind the band on the store page. AppMetis collects it for 5.4M apps and keeps the history, so growth is a subtraction, not a guess.

The problem
A band like 10M+ hides most of the story
The public store page rounds every app down to a band. An app showing 10M+ could have 10 million installs or 49 million.
- Bands move up only at 1, 5, 10, 50 style thresholds, so growth stays invisible for months.
- Most tools fill the gap with a model and print the estimate as if it were a count.
- Model errors compound once you derive growth, revenue per install or market share from them.
How AppMetis solves it
Use the number the store itself keeps
The listing data carries the exact count. We collect it, keep every reading and label it measured.
- Exact counts for about 2.25M apps, with history at each app's cadence.
- Growth per day and per week is a subtraction between two real readings.
- Trending lists rank apps by measured installs added, not by a predicted curve.

Band versus count
What the store shows, and what we measure
The public install bands
Google Play shows one of these labels on every listing. Each band covers a range that is 2 to 5 times wide.

Use cases
What exact installs make possible
Real growth curves
Daily or weekly installs added, so launches, featuring and campaigns show up as they happen.
Check other estimates
Hold any vendor's download estimate up against the store's own count.
Size a category
Sum measured installs across a category or a developer instead of adding up rounded bands.
Revenue sanity checks
Revenue per install bounds what an estimate can plausibly be. iOS revenue estimates are in beta.
The honest limits
- The count is global and lifetime. It is not active users and it does not subtract uninstalls.
- Google does not document the field. We check that it only rises and agrees with the public band before showing it.
- No data was collected from 9 September to 7 November 2026. Totals across the gap stay exact, the daily shape inside it is unknown.
- The App Store publishes no install counts. iOS download estimates are coming soon.
Measured installs questions
Where does the exact install count come from?
Google Play's listing data carries an exact lifetime install count next to the public band such as 10M+. AppMetis collects that number directly. Google does not document the field, so we check it for consistency before it is shown.
Are these installs per country?
No. The count is global and lifetime, across all countries and devices. Installs by country are on the roadmap as an estimate and will carry an Estimated badge.
How often is each app updated?
About 250K fast-moving apps are collected daily, about 580K weekly, about 1.4M monthly, and the whole catalog at least every 14 days. The cadence is shown on each app profile.
What about App Store downloads?
Apple publishes no install counts. iOS download estimates are coming soon and go live only after they pass a published back-test.
Why is there a gap in some charts?
No data was collected from 9 September to 7 November 2026. Charts show that window as a gap. Because the count is cumulative, the total gained across the gap is still exact, only the day-by-day shape inside it is unknown.
