Developer stats graph alignment

Request to have the device name alongside, instead of under the device image, Can't tell what the devices are like this:

  • Can you take a full page screenshot and tell me what the zoom percentage of the screen is as well please? 

  • It looks good in my console.

    I'm on MacBook Pro M5 Max - Golden Gate 27.0.1 and Chrome Version 155.0.8059.80 (Official Build) (arm64).

    Zooming the page doesn't make any difference.

  • No zoom. I'm on MacBook also, Brave, which is Chrome driven (Chromium: 149.0.7827.201). It's been like this for me for at least a year.

  • While I'm here, and finally have the attention of someone from Garmin, can I get a breakdown of how these stats actually work.

    I have an app that shows 1+ downloads, and I know they're reported in a 10x (and sometimes 5x) scale. ie 1+, 10+, 100+, 1k+, but also 50k+.
    The lowest percentage for a device on the same app is 5.88%, which indicates a multiple of 17 downloads. (I'm expecting it is 17). And the versions graph shows 33% and 66%, which indicates a multiple of 3. All devices are API level 5 or above, since it's a paid app. None of these numbers line up.

    It also says 1 review in the header, and there are no reviews, but 1 rating. They're different things, if the header is referring to ratings, it should say that.

    Please explain, because I'm baffled. Shrug

  • BTW, you'll also find that some newer devices don't even show.  Devices I know for a fact that are running the app, including those on my own wrist.  It could be related to the number of different devices running the app, because for me it would be more than one screen worth without a doubt

    They changed how stats are shown a few years back, and today I don't really even bother with them

  • A rating alone is a review where the user didn't enter any text.  It's very common.  They mark the # of stars and just submit it

  • If they can make it say zero in the reviews section, they can make it say zero in the summary. Or better yet: "25 ratings, 18 with reviews". It's really not that hard.

    The fact that none of these numbers line up bothers me. What am I supposed to trust. They all surely come from the same source, how and why are they showing different information?

  • I would LOVE it if Garmin could make these reports better and easier:
    1. have a toggle to show numbers vs percentages for the version and device views. I get it if they want to do the store download numbers in multiples of 10, but let the developers see the numbers easier
    2. have a time-based view with #s downloaded / sold over time
    3. have a global reporting view vs only per app where you can see downloads/sales on a timeline with each app being a line (as an example - other ways to do it)
    4. or just give us API access to the numbers and anyone can make the reports they desire 

    I'm not sure why this developer portal is so basic and unfriendly for developers.

  • They started showing rounded numbers about the time Garmin pay was added.  Before that actual numbers of downloads were even shown to users.  And the rounding isn't just by 10's  When you hit 100+ for example the next you'll see is 1000+,10k+ then 50k and when you get as high as 500K, the next you see is 1m

  • I just want the numbers to match up initially. It makes no sense. A 55 billion dollar company can surely get this right. I've even offered to fix it for them. And you'll note that this has been moved out of the Bug Reports to Discussion. How is 3 data points from the same source showing different information not a bug?
