App Store Pulse FAQ

What does the App Store Pulse measure?+

It summarizes apps and chart activity observed by AppStoreStatistics during the displayed period, including indexed releases, updates, ranking snapshots, countries, categories, and daily movers.

Are chart movements the same as downloads or revenue?+

No. A chart movement is a change in an observed relative position. It is not an exact download, install, sales, revenue, or proceeds figure.

Why can a report show partial coverage?+

A report is marked partial when one or more expected ranking days, mover days, or a complete period-end statistics snapshot are missing. The exact coverage remains visible.

What is a largest observed daily mover?+

It is the largest stored one-day position change found during the period. It is not a net change from the first day of the month to the last day.

Can this report be cited or downloaded?+

Yes. The report provides a citation, JSON, CSV-Light, and press-notes download generated from the same stored report payload.
