Updated answer now that xyo net has been bought and shut down    appannie com and similarweb com are the best options now  Thanks  rinogo for the original suggestion   Outdated answer   Site is still buggy  but this is by far the best that I ve found  Not sure if it s accurate  but at least they give you numbers that you can guess off of  They have numbers for Android  iOS  iPhone and iPad  and even Windows   xyo net

I think developers can do this for their own apps via iTunes Connect but this doesn t help you if you are looking for stats on other peoples apps   148Apps also have some aggregate AppStore metrics on their web site that could be useful to you but  again  doesn t really give a low-level breakdown of numbers   You could also scrape some stats from the RSS feeds generated by the iTunes Store RSS Generator but  again  this just gets currently popular apps rather than actual download numbers

There is no way to know unless the particular company reveals the info  The best you can do is find a few companies that are sharing and then extrapolate based on app ranking  which is available publicly   The best you ll get is a ball park estimate
