MajicRank is designed to give iPhone App Developers an easy way to see how popular their applications are around the world.
MajicRank downloads the latest top 200 statistics for any iPhone app, for any category for all App Store regions. It displays all results in a colorful chart, and can graph the results over time.
SHANEV If you have a ranked app in the App Store, MajicRank is essential. I use it daily. Try doing what the app does manually. It'll be painstaking and take you hours. This tool frees up a lot of time and helps me spot surprises and abnormalities in rankings. It's also a great tool to compare your rankings with competitors and/or similar apps. The UI is also beautifully done. I keep this running all the time and refresh it at least once a day. (Version 1.3.2)
ANCIENTMOOSE Pros: Definitely beats rummaging around through all the regions to see how you're doing. It's simple and neat, and you can't complain about the price.
Cons: You won't be able to leave it alone. Your daily happiness will be directly affected by whether the graph went up or down overnight. (Version 1.3.2)
FUNKBOY Nice app to see how your app is doing through the only official data Apple posts - the Top 100 lists for each category and overall.
The history graphs are helpful to see trends over time. It ships by only showing the biggest sales countries, but you can track your app (or your competitor's!) on every single app store worldwde.
Only improvement I can think of is faster graph drawing (which the author has already promised is coming). Overall it's a great program that I use many times during the week. Plus, it is free! Glad to see a nice app made available for free like this. (Version 1.3.2)
NICKTMRO Cool little app if you want to keep track of how your app is doing in the itunes charts.
Suggestion: Rather than top 8 countries and all world it would be cool to have a list of countries to select (e.g. checkboxes for all the itunes stores?)
Bug: The application id is erased in the following scenario:
1. type App Id:
2. Change Category 1 or 2.
Workaround: select category before typing the app id.
I had to give 5 stars to the app to compensate for the first review and to say thanks for making this free! (Version 1.3.2)
If you app is not in the top 100 of your category, it will not appear. So ... not really much point for 99.95% of users, and those who have popular apps will, I suspect, be capable of measuring sales in other ways.
Not sure why they imposed this artificial limit, but it really renders the app almost meaningless. (Version 1.3.2)
ANONYMOUS It is not an artificial limit, it is very real. iTunes only shows the Top 100s, and MajicRank uses this data. Real top 1000 data is not available, and any such data you find is made up from unreliable sources.
Also it is not intended as a way of measuring sales. It measures how an app is doing relative to other apps, something that is not possible by looking at sales statistics.
I'm not sure why you would give an app a one star review for not doing impossible stuff it never said it did in the description. It's free too! People like you make people like me think twice about bothering to make free tools like this for fellow developers. (Version 1.3.2)
