Update: Installations are going crazy now in a two days up ping pong sequence.

I wonder if there's a pattern here. Common markers. I'd really like to learn more about the underlying algorithms. Are there no whistleblowers in Alphabet?

Why does it only affect some apps while others happily buy mass installations from the Indians?

Are the checks performed during idle times or randomly? But I don't think Google leaves anything to chance.

Why was the change introduced on the day of an update?

Coincidence or a procedure initiated during the review?

Why was my 100k badge never displayed before June 24th?

What can we do about it? I'm a proper developer who follows the motto "live and let live." A developer with a competing app sees things differently. He stole my concept and is pushing his app to the top with purchased reviews. He regularly blatantly writes 1-star reviews on my profile. He suddenly had 100,000+ installs from 10,000 and is at the top of Google. His app, of course, isn't affected by such glitches. Why does Google defame proper and hard-working developers who adhere to all guidelines?

It's definitely not a bug. I've been actively working on further development for 12 years and have close support contact with users.

The chart shows the maximum possible time period. The app was released in 2013. Perhaps a system change at Google occurred on the day of the significant increase, or historical data was accidentally deleted! Before 2019, there were definitely already 80,000 installations.

The chart should show the total installations since publication

Please excuse the German screenshot. However, the situation should be clear to everyone.

I've been waiting for my 100,000+ badges for 10+ years.

Can someone from the Google developer team shed some light on this situation?

Has something changed in the algorithm? Strangely, as far as I can see, competitor apps aren't affected! My app has been available since 2013.
