How To View How Many Downloads an App Has

As an app developer, it’s handy to know how well received your app is. Apple’s Apps Analytics and Google’s Developer Console presents the number of downloads an app has, as well as other useful app-related metrics. Knowing how many times your app has been downloaded, will give you an idea of whether you’re on the right track with its functionality.

On the other hand, as an app user with multiple app options to choose from, knowing roughly how many times an app has been downloaded can help you to decide whether an unfamiliar app is worth a try.

In this article, we’ll show you the quickest way to find out how many times an app has been downloaded via your mobile device.
