Rank change
The number of places an app moved since the previous published edition of the same index.
How it's calculated
Rank change is the app's rank in the previous published edition minus its rank in this one, so a positive number means it climbed. Apps that were not in the previous edition are marked New.
How to read it
Every value can be checked against the previous edition's published list.
