>How does this get to #15 on the top of the paid game list?
>71 ratings, 1 download, and already in the top 15 of "top paid apps"?
The guy you replied to is telling you precisely that download numbers aren't updated as fast as ratings. So if it has 71 ratings it means it has way more downloads than that. For example taking another of his games which has between 500k and 1M downloads and around 39k ratings that makes it around 25-12% of downloads leaving a rating.
Here those 71 ratings would translate into 281-591 downloads which being a paid app means purchases.
Also I never cared to look, but the top obviously won't be "all time" but "last 7 days" (most likely a mix of many things) on which case, with 591 purchases it may very well be the 15th most bought game these last 7 days.
You're missing a lot of information for your judgement or doubts to be taken seriously. Don't worry, it's pretty common.
Granny Smith has been my favorite Android Game for a long, long time. Got it on sale 2 years ago, and have played through it at least 5 times.
