I have a widget in the market that people can install to monitor how many subscribers they get each day on YouTube: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.socialblad...

Looks like I get around 10-30 installs a day http://socialblade.com/c/2012-04-02_1300.png

That being said since it is a widget and not an app itself most people don't understand how to use it so I also get about 10 uninstalls a day.

End result: Since Aug 14 2011 I've had 4572 installs and 845 "active device installs" exist today. So that's 19.7 installs a day and a growth of 3.6 actives a day or 591 installs a month and 108 active growth per month.

Oh yeah, and my app/widget is free. I do it to give users of my website an extra utility, not to make money from the app itself. Since the cost to get into android is basically 0 ($25 one time) as opposed to the huge cost to get into ios it is totally worth it.
