Default AppRanking Tool - for FREE

Hi together,

I have developed a OSX tool which can connect to the itunes appstore and fetch the rankings of your app. It is free. If you should have any bugs or problems please leave a comment at “AppRanking for FREE” by Michael Dorn | Dr. Touch



Best regards
Michael

Very cool app, although when you have apps like mine which are never in the top 100 in any category for any region, then just always seeing ">100" has no meaning, except that I am a loser and can't sell any apps.

Seeing it's free and very useful, it seems cheeky to ask for extra features but as you are asking .... it would be even more excellent if it saved the app number and the selected countries. I'd also like to second the request for a "select all" button.

Version 1 showed lower numbers without a leading zero, which I prefer (eg 12 instead of 012). Will you be reverting to that style?

And thanks again, it is very handy .

Hi,

To select all countries, just click on the header. It is a hidden function due to it can hold up the network traffic in whole a company (I tested it with a 20Mbit line).
The leading "000" format is because of sorting as a string and not a number. I will try and make a change in that. I guess I will try build in a save function during the easter holidays.

I will let you know when the new version is ready.

Best regards
Michael

Thanks for having this great app. Is it possible to have multiple app numbers entered at once and save the output to file. And thanks again for having this great app

I am trying to get Michael (the creator) to rewrite this app as an objC class that we can reuse in desktop and iPhone apps. But currently he'd rather concentrate on LuckyWheel artwork updates and some new projects.

Now, if those people who like it much would donate a couple of dollars then THAT would probably get his attention and show him how much we appreciate his invention.

Maybe he'd just make the source public then? It's really a nice piece of software, but not quite useful as it turned out. It doesn't even save the settings, and I should select the countries and categories every time.
And it really need some way of tracking the evolution of an app. Current place is not as important as a change from yesterday.

Who ever wants to reprogramm AppRanking, can do this with a little search in google. As far as I can see you can you find scripts to show the same what I have got in AppRanking. As written before, I will sit down this week and try make a lot of helpful functions:
  • save appID with names
  • search with multi appID
  • get the sorting into a nice format
  • save search results by date/time
  • have a chart view
  • maybe build a xcode class

You must just be patient. I will send Oliver the new version on Sunday if not ealier. Check out this thread for more information or Dr. Touch for further information.

Modifying the working app is not quite the same as writing it from scratch . What you did in one day will probably require me at least 3-4, and I don't really have time for this.

This sounds awesomely great, these features are about all I need in life right now! I'm happy you didn't abandon it.

I get this message: "Die angegebene Anfrage kann vom gegenwärtigen Anwendungspool nicht ausgeführt werden"

Not too sure what that means

Thanks for noticing. The name of the file on my server was incorrect. I changed it, now the download link works.

Are you aware that you can simply click on the header above the country checkboxes to select/unselect all?

Just in case any nice person who wanted to donate for the betterment of AppRanking but could not.... I just fixed the 3 donation buttons.

If you still want to donate a couple of bucks, go here and use the new and shiny donation button.

Also I've added AppRanking to my Mantis so that people can add their wishes/bugs/feature requests, which is here.

You are welcome, but you need to thank Michael Dorn (mmdbs18) for this great Mac app. He's doing the logic, I am doing the logistics. :-)
