Throughout the day ShopSavvy was far and away the most popular application in the Android Market, with hundreds of ‘reviews’ and 10,000+ downloads.  This evening we updated the application (fixing minor bugs and adding a few new features) and the download counter reset and all of the ‘reviews’ were erased.  Ouch.  In some ways this makes sense, but in others it bites.  However, we can’t really complain given that this is only the first day.  The only good news is that we are the most recently added application.  Moral of the story?  Don’t update your application.  Hopefully, ShopSavvy’s popularity will continue regardless of its ranking in the Market.

Update: there is a way around this, simply keep the same version number and your settings remain.  More on this as we understand more ourselves.
