Today, some labcoat-clad Freeverse researchers released a terribly long and wordy article about some very interesting Apple App Store findings. To spare you the scientific equations, lengthy theorems and heavy graphs (why is the Pythagorean Theorem on that piechart?), we've summarized and included some images of their unearthed material.

With three of the Top Grossing Apps on the charts at the moment, Freeverse is in a unique position to compare and contrast some of the sale and ranking charts that organize the Top Apps.

Top Grossing Freeverse Apps are Skee-Ball (#17), Flick Fishing (#97), and Top Gun (#100). Please refer to the visual aide below.

Now, interestingly, the Top Paid Apps Chart lists Top Gun as #60 and Flick Fishing as #72.

How does this happen? The games are priced the same...but Flick Fishing features DLC.

This leads us to conclude that the Top Grossing Apps list seems to include In-App Purchases in its calculations.

With the announcement of Free Apps allowing Paid In-App transactions, this information uncovers a vital characteristic of how the App Store Charts are functioning and how it could change in the coming months!! Now, FV research team, back to App Dissection Stat!
