I published my first paid app yesterday and 60% of the ordered were cancelled orders and the totally sales (excluding cancelled orders) is only a dozen or so (no kidding). The cancellation reason is always "Other" with no further explanation. I really wish I could get some feedback from those who uninstalled. To make it more troubling , my app has a almost 4-star rating so it can't be that bad.
