Finally all the BlackBerry core apps on Google Play such as BlackBerry Keyboard and Camera reached 500,000 installations..
This are the apps exclusive to BlackBerry devices..
Even if it is still a really low number (for comparison BBM has 100M downloads!) It is nice to see a small community growing.
Hopefully the KEYone and Aurora will only increase this number..
The next milestone to look at is one million..
So that means over 500,000 Android BlackBerry devices are out there?
It means that at least 500K BlackBerry android devices have associated an email on Google play and are using the BlackBerry software
You made the same post in October... http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...store-1087456/
That's a minimum of 500k downloads, somewhere between 500,000 and 1,000,000.
Google says it's "the number of unique users who have ever installed this app. We only count one install regardless of how many different devices they installed it on. It includes the users who have later uninstalled the app."
This number does not count pre-installed apps with it and never updated. Once you update a pre-installed app for the first time it adds it to your Google Play account and it gets counted as 1, after that any update you have or other device you use that has that app will not be counted again.
So there is a minimum of 500,000 unique accounts associated with this app. That means these users could have multiple BlackBerry Android devices, like me and/or they could have it installed on other Android devices, like me.
Tho the Facebook Home app on Google Play reached 500,000 downloads in a week when released in 2013.
Just so everyone knows Google Play's download bracket is like this:
1-5
5-10
10-50
50-100
100-500
500-1000
1000-5000
5000 - 10000
10000 - 50000
50000 - 100000
100000 - 500000
500000 - 1000000
1000000 - 5000000
5000000 - 10000000
10000000 - 50000000
50000000 - 100000000
100000000 - 500000000
500000000 - 1000000000
1000000000 - 5000000000
tl;dr: The number is irrelevant. Stop trying to make it important lol.
It would be nice to hear from BlackBerry how many they sold, a thing we haven't heard in quite a while. Perhaps BBMobile will.
