Hello all!

Before ios 11 we did release two games and all of them were affected somehow by each purchase. For example, each purchase in UK raised app rank a little up.

However now we released new application and we observed the following behavior:

3 purchases in UK => nothing changed in app store rank (out of any rank)

1 purchase in Finland => affected

1 purchase in Poland => not affected

1 purchase in Poland day later => affected

So basically some of the app purchases are affecting app rank, some not (most of them not).

Is this expected behavior? Somehow connected to new App Store?

ranks are checked with appannie and other similar websites

I think this is the intended behaviour. It is especially visible at the Mac App Store: We have several high priced apps at the MAS and Top-Grossing-Ranks are varying between 20 and 200 despite very steady and even sales every day.
