[android-developers] Disaster! - Inexplicable collapse in downloads.

My app was looking promising. Its download count looked like it was
growing exponentially with a steady 8 to 10 percent growth in users
per day. Reaching an additional 290 new active users per day on the
29th of Feb. This is with zero promotion by me. I also have a google
alert on my app name and there was no mention of it on any blogs. It
seemed obvious to me that the app was being spread purely by word of
mouth.

Then suddenly on the 1st march the installs dropped to 128, and then
today just 61. Looking at the stats, the fall is equally clear in both
the US and the Philippines.

What could cause such a precipitous fall? Any ideas?
