Ask HN: Did something major change in the Apple App Store algorithm today?

[Pablo1856]

Our app jumped a lot in ranking today, and the entire lineup of apps around us seems to have changed.

Did anyone else notice a change in their app store rankings (on mobile)?

[papas]

Yes, we had a sudden drop in rankings like it went off a cliff and we saw the same thing for many of our competitors replaced by much less known apps that had keyword in title.

Yes, seems like they went back to giving paid apps a bit more weight again.
