Chart is a little misleading starting at 7% instead of zero, but still a nice surge nevertheless.
True. Other people asked so they posted another one.
IMO, this makes it look even worse.
That's why they started with the one they did
Even then, this is still a solid 30-40% increase in downloads. That's statistically significant right there.
Worse, or... "better"?
Does not look as nice, but is way less misleading
The total numbers are so small that the shape of the line barely matters. 7-10k installs daily? In the mobile browser market? There are plant identification apps with better numbers.
Is that 7% or 7,000 installs total? The axis isn’t labeled!!
I see a k following the numbers, so I'm assuming that's total number of downloads.
Article states installs per day
Not even seven percent. Lol. Seven thousand which is probably like .0001 percent.
That's new daily installs though, so cumulative number. I don't think they're trying to draw a comparison, just show the increase.
