Hello, I believe that this is some systemic issue with Android Market. Look at average deltas of my two apps. Both dropped significantly around August 28, 2010 and now they are getting slowly to original values.
One my app: Date Average daily delta 3.8.2010 20:00:00 1 018 5.8.2010 8:00:00 1 081 8.8.2010 20:00:00 1 056 15.8.2010 20:00:00 888 19.8.2010 8:00:00 788 25.8.2010 8:00:00 445 28.8.2010 8:00:00 158 28.8.2010 20:00:00 31 29.8.2010 20:00:00 318 30.8.2010 12:00:00 835 Second my app: 3.8.2010 20:00:00 71 5.8.2010 8:00:00 74 8.8.2010 20:00:00 86 15.8.2010 20:00:00 40 19.8.2010 8:00:00 13 25.8.2010 8:00:00 13 28.8.2010 8:00:00 7 28.8.2010 20:00:00 18 29.8.2010 20:00:00 48 30.8.2010 12:00:00 77 I WANT EXPLANATION FROM GOOGLE as I don't trust number from Google. How I can be sure that sales are measured correctly?
