Number of downloads ?

KS71

I've uploaded and gotten my first data field approved. I can see it has 10+ downloads, but exactly how many is that? I know it's more than 10, but is it over 100+ or maybe even more?

  • For about two years now, Garmin has stopped reporting exact download figures and instead provides only broad categories:

    More than 10
    More than 100
    More than 1,000
    More than 10,000
    More than 50,000
    etc.

  • Being a little sarcastic here, but I wonder why they decided to include 50,000 instead of just skipping to 100,000 since that was the pattern up until 10,000. 

    Wouldn't it be great for developers to see 50, 500, 5000, also?   

    You know about how Garmin watches are infamous for providing relatively pessimistic/harsh activity feedback to users?  Like, "Oh you completed an 8 mile run? great but your performance decreased from last week."   It's almost as if they got that same person/s to design the developer feedback for apps/watchfaces posted to the ConnectIQ app store, as if developers needed more realistic/harsh/NEGATIVE feedback.  "Oh you've got 1000 downloads? great, but you'll need TEN TIMES MORE downloads to surpass that rather paltry achievement... BWAAHAHAHAH, YOU SUCK!!!!" (this is what plays in my head each and every time I look at how many downloads my apps have).

    Garmin, please consider changing this!
