Hey,

does anyone know why the ranking of AndroidPIT differs very strongly to the Android Market Ranking even if the option "Market Ranking" is activated.

Yours,
Peter Pan

Hi Peter, Google has certainly own algorithms to show a ranking. AndroidPIT has its own as well. Thus, the ranking sometimes differs. But in general, you'll find more or less the same same Android apps in this ranking.

If you have a look at "medical" or "financial" apps for instance, you will see completely different apps.

I thought "Market Ranking" refers to the Android Market. AndroidPIT already crawls most of the Android Market information, why is the ranking excluded? Is the algorithm for Android PITs "market Ranking" a secret?

Are you talking about the 5 star user rating or the order of apps? The five star ranking can be different because it shows what the androidPit users have ranked the apps vs. what the google market users have ranked it. The order of apps listed is different too, because AndroidPit doesn't have all the apps the google market has. So they won't be the same when you look at the "financial" section. If your looking on the AndroidPit website and want to browse ALL the apps not just the ones available on the AppCenter then try clicking on: "All Android Apps" tab at the top next to the "AndroidPit Shop" tab.

Well, we are facing the same problem. Finance Mastery :grin: for instance is ranked in the Android Market at position 7 in the category "financial". Finding our app in the AndroidPit ranking (called "Market Ranking + downloads") is not that easy. We are ranked at page 3.

EDIT: If one chooses merely "Market Ranking" the full verison is not even listed.

As Fabien said, AndroidPit's ranking differs slightly from google's. But I have no idea what the difference is.
