@yome Really good question. It is different for all platforms, but: - Android: more than 100k+ downloads, but lower than 3.2 rating - Chrome extensions: more than 30k+ downloads but lower than 3.2 rating - iOS: more than 100 reviews but lower than 3.2 rating (I couldn't figure out how to get the downloads from the Apple marketplace) - Web apps (from PH): more than 250 upvotes but again, lower than 3.2 ratings. I hope I answered your question. Edit: I covered a LOT, but sometimes instead of scraping I used APIs (third parties), so I just got the apps directly. But for example, I collected 106,000+ chrome extensions, and only 1226 of them met my criteria. Other platforms were similar.

My first successful product - Validated ideas - got a lot of good feedback. Many of you found it useful, but it only had Android apps. Validated ideas 2.0 is more: it contains Chrome Extensions, iOS Apps, Android Apps and even a few Web Apps. 2021 is about to start. I hope everybody will have a good and successful year. And I want to help: for the first 500 buyers, it is $6.9 instead of the original $14.99. Sample Airtable: https://airtable.com/shraOsT3Z9P... Ask me anything and if you buy it, please, tell me your opinion, I would really appreciate it!

@jozshuszi @sameer_syed2 Hi there! Are you viewing this from your phone or desktop? I don't use google spreadsheet, but after clicking on the three dot above the headers, there is an "Download CSV", maybe that could work for you? Please let me know if this solves your problem. By the way, you can email me any time if you have any problem! Feel free to reach out. :)

On the sample spreadsheet ios apps are showing price instead of downloads/upvotes. Is that intentional?

@greydnls Yes, the iOS Airtable doesn't have "downloads" field, because I couldn't get that information when I collected the iOS apps. To my knowledge, there is no (trivial and precise) way to know the downloads of an iOS app.

@greydnls @jozshuszi You can use SensorTower https://sensortower.com/ios/us/g... (I am working in VC fund and the data I get from the startups shows that SensorTower is pretty accurate)

@greydnls @jozshuszi @artem_bezrukov I see, thank you for the suggestion! Although I started to wonder: is it fair use/legal to use sensor tower's data with my own list? I'm just thinking out loud. Anyways, nice advice, thanks, Artem!

Clever approach for product Ideas. Now these products were poorly executed for many different reasons. The first step would be to try to find out why?

@ali_alsayed Thank you Ali, I'm honored. Yes exactly! Check the reviews, what people don't like and then try to avoid the mistakes/improve the features.

It is incredible work. Just a thought - why don't you make it a running document for people ready to pay for it.

@ishwarjha I'm honored... Thank you, Ishwar! I don't really understand "making it a running document for people ready to pay", can you tell me what you mean by that? By running you mean updating it and selling for subscription? Or maybe I misunderstand it.

@jozshuszi Yes. So that people can get benefit on regular basis.

@jozshuszi @ishwarjha Good suggestion. Although I don't know if people would pay on a monthly basis for something like this, but I will keep this in mind and maybe try and experiment! Thanks for the advice!
