App Store search algorithm changes?

Has anyone else seen their App Store rankings change very recently? We used to be #2 for various search terms, but now games and other apps that don't even apply to the search terms are showing up. And competetor apps that don't even have as many reviews are above ours.


Very strange. Not super happy about it.

Yes. Even I have seen exactly same behavior of the App Store search algorithm. All apps unrelated to the search term are showing ahead on our app and our app has fallen to below 30th position.

Yes, I think they changed

This is serious!

only the famous games are displayed!

How new game can be see?

What was the exact date(s) you all saw your keywords shift rank on?


I've heard of issues on January 11th.

Yes, there was a high drop for my apps on the 11th Jan.
However, everything was back to normal on 13th. So, I suspect it was a bug.

I think they changed algorithm again, all my app still stable since 24th Jan.

Everything was falling down in this day.

I saw another Algorithm change on 31.12.18


Some of my keys which ranked well are now unranked?!
