The claim that Freeway is rising in the US rankings is misinformation.

Similar web is not an official application store, it is a market intelligence provider and has no affiliation with the Google Play store or The Apple App Store. The rank they provide is their own opinion using their own data and therefore, unsubstantiated. To put the ranking inaccuracy into context; the google play store doesn't even register the freeway app in the Lifestyle top 500 however, Similar web places it in at #245.

Moreover, the 'usage rank' that similarweb uses, is an impossible data set to gather for a third party. Only the application developer has access to their application usage data via their own servers. I am positive that Syntonic do not allow similarweb access to their usage data.

To make matters worse, the graph you have referenced is SimilarWeb's Usage Rank vs Google Play Rank. However, this Google Play data is not available on their site. Similarweb either don't have the Google play store data or it is coming soon, as they claim. Therefore, the data represented is only Similarweb's vs nothing.

The screenshot in the above post has been cut down, so allow me to post the full picture:

It is ok to say that Freeway is rising the Similarweb Rankings but not anywhere else.

Hi NH... good to have you back... nice post...

The Similar web ranking is not misinformation. Misinformation is intended to deceive. You should know this.

I have admitted previously that it is not 100% accurate... but it gives us a good gauge... we know we are traveling to the moon but we don't know our exact current location... hehehe.... As JJ stated, the higher you go the greater the accuracy... but we can't magically appear in the top 500 overnight... it takes time... Time being a concept some people here are not familiar with...

The similar web algo gives us more info than just download numbers... because it shows installs and active users... ill put my faith in similar web's algo and you can put your faith in your own opinion, based on...
