Releasing a version with bug fixes will lower the ranking of the watch face

The updates are a bit frequent ,beacuse this is my first watch face.

During the development process, I gradually learned how to set colors, more options, and conditional expressions. Coupled with new requirements from users, there are many updates. About 40 times, it changed from a dial that could only change the background color to a dial that alternated between day and night, the probability of precipitation would appear as a rainy background, and the stress would be greater than the set value and a volcanic eruption would occur.

However, because I only supported one resolution at the beginning and had a single function, I missed the exposure stage of the new dial. Later, as the functions were added, some people spontaneously shared it on Chinese social networks. Finally, it achieved a good number of downloads in China and reached the top several times. It also disappeared several times due to updates. So my observation experience of ranking mainly comes from Chinese servers. This is not the same as most people's experience.

The main server may be OK. Because I have not appeared on the homepage of GARMIN.com.

I am also currently optimizing the process. avoid mistakes

I only see 2 apps of yours that have more than 1000 downloads (and even on the .cn server only one has more than 10k), so I'm not sure what is all the fuss about. In what category is a WF with less than 1000 downloads supposed to be the 1st?

Here is a screenshot I took last week.，

At present, the cn server is gradually becoming normal. In the past one or two months, as long as it is updated once, it will disappear from the rankings and gradually return in a few days. There may be only 10 popular watch faces downloaded in the top 20. A bunch of watch faces with a 3.0 rating and 100+ downloads from 2018 to date will also occupy the front row.

But in the past two or three days, these watch faces have finally disappeared. In the Chinese market rank,

I have only seen watch faces that have been around for more than two years with 100k+ downloads. If those with higher downloads and better watch faces are ranked higher, this is absolutely natural. But sometimes when I can't see my watch face, I scroll down and find many buggy ones with lower downloads.

I just wonder why this happens. My watch face is back to the front now. But it only takes one update and it disappears again for a few days, or two weeks

From my perspective, it feels like every update is a huge adventure.。Maybe this time it will disappear completely 

I have some versions that are only adapted to specific resolutions. If users have problems or make new requests, I will give priority to updating these versions to prevent Major releases from suddenly disappearing from the homepage.
