The main source of information on the dynamics of sales of applications in the AppStore, of course, is iTunesConnect. However, as soon as applications become 2 and more, there are some difficulties. Moreover, naturally, iTunes is absolutely not suitable for analyzing the success of competitors, which sooner or later each developer has to face.
Most often I use 3 resources.

Consider in order each of them on the example of the wonderful program Star Walk for iPad.
The program is remarkable not only because it was created by our compatriots, but also received the Apple Design Awards in 2010, and this is worth something.
So.
For unregistered users, the site shows the current rating of the program, both in its category and in the overall standings. For registered users promise hourly updates of statistics. A few days ago, the statistics was updated at a frequency of 6 hours, but now the data is updated 1 time per day, which is probably due to some problems on the side of iTunes.
Here we get not only the current value of the rating, but also a graph of changes in this rating for a certain period of time. It is also helpful to see when and how was the last best result.

Indicators of detailed statistics for registered users of this site are slightly different from those in iTunesConnect. So you need to be careful and check everything carefully.

Here, for example, another great program, this time from our Belarusian colleagues.
After an active period of experiments, with the application, something ceased to happen at all and the rating gradually began to decline. But a good program and could bring non-profit.
These three resources, it seems to me, provide an excellent opportunity to study and track the dynamics of the popularity of applications in the AppStore and can greatly facilitate market analysis and help in making the right marketing decisions.
