Very nice, from what I can see.

Is this only targeted for authors of apps, not consumers? Because I'm a little confused by the sign-up requirements for viewing more data, but with the restriction on sign-ups for authors of apps:

> Please add an app before continuing

> If you haven't released an App, add your closest competitor instead

> If we can't find your App, paste the iTunes id or URL of the App

On the surface, this seems like anyone could benefit from this data. But if it's meant to just be for authors, seems like a lot of missed opportunity.

Or am I misunderstanding the whole point?

That's a great point. The tools are more oriented towards people who make apps or market them (or need to have stats/data about the apps). We do power via API access consumer sites that surface this data for users, but we leave it up to them.
