Mean ranking of ~22.6, I think I'll allow it.

To reach #25 in the U.K. AppStore, it takes only 21% of the of downloads that it takes to hit #25 in the U.S. AppStore.

Still, very impressive for an amateur developer in such an overcrowded channel.

Well, the UK has about 20% of the population of the US, so it is proportional

Great job nonetheless, but still, when you talk about top 25, everybody assumes you're referring to US top chart. Very different thing.

I kind of agree with you, but being a UK citizen I was watching the UK app store by default. Bearing in mind that I was hoping to make a few hundred quid / dollars being in the top 100 in any chart was a result! :)
