In this context, what is a load? It sounds like you're asking about apps that 
few or no people have loaded into their phones, but somehow that just doesn't 
sound right. But, if that is what you're inquiring about... Google Play doesn't 
give precise numbers of installs, but I did I sniff around and find a pretty 
obscure app:

If that link doesn't work, do a Google search on Donate to Tim Hutt

Installs 10 - 50

Did I just waste my time writing this post? In all likelihood, yes. But, it's a 
rainy, ice stormy, Sunday morning, and I'm just sitting here, sipping a mug of 
Coffea arabica rasayana, waiting for the far infrared sauna to warm up, so it's 
not like I have anything better to do.

Alex, I always laugh when I read your posts.  Nice of you to share.  I'm just 
sitting here, drinking a cup of strong coffee, feeling like I have many better 
things to do, but unwilling to disturb the quiet of sleeping teenagers and 
outside wet, damp, cloud-covered calm after a huge rainstorm last night.

Every day when a developer uploads a new app it would have zero loads 
for a while.  Depends on the app too.  If it free then there are more 
likely to be more downloads.  People don't like to pay for apps.  Guess 
they figure developers must get food and shelter free. Google's counts 
are off too.  They've tried to fix them but their reports are even a 
little screwball.  Google has all kinds of statistics for developers to 
use about their apps but how accurate they are is anyone's guess.  On 
the consoles they will show total and active installs.  IOW, some 
folks will install then uninstall the app.  Then they may decide to 
reinstall it again.  It's all pretty crazy.
