When you say "our hemisphere" do you mean our or *our*?

The mere idea of a region or country being considered the backyard of another country is repulsive and insulting.

Gotcha. Yes, having it hidden by default sounds good.

How about you default to the device's region settings instead of Β°F? That way it will already be OK for the vast majority of users, and there would be no need for a quick switch in the toolbar.

This sales report is the definitive answer and explains everything. Let me break down exactly what's happening:

Clear Diagnosis: Data Backfill / Analytics Correction
Looking at your sales report, this is NOT MDM, NOT viral traffic, NOT enterprise deployment. This is Apple reprocessing historical redownload data.

Key Evidence from the Report:
Extreme Version Diversity: You have downloads from dozens of old versions (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, etc.) all on the same day.

Real users don't download old versions from years ago on the same day

This is clearly historical data being reprocessed

"Desktop" Device Pattern: Most entries show "Desktop" as the device type, even though they're iOS apps.

This aligns with your earlier observation

Historical analytics often misclassify or default to "Desktop"

Yup, basically this.

Analytics for Vinyl Fetish app showing a spike in downloads from Desktop, way higher than from the devices supported.

I have no idea what happened here. Can somebody explain?
I've had a downloads spike and it's all from Desktop (the app is published for iOS/iPadOS).
Impressions and product page views look like any regular day.

The Wrapped feature was activated on Dec 1st, this is really fun.

I notice though some issue regarding playback data sync when having the app in multiple devices. The same results were expected on all devices, which is not what's happening.

Will make sure to fix it for 2026 πŸ˜›

I guess I'm not even mad, I'm baffled. Why would anyone just act like a jerk and not even give you a chance to look into an issue? Anyway...
I'm super thankful to lots of customers who have helped me figure out issues that I couldn't even reproduce. ❀️

...he still uses an app that he supposedly hates, and from context I get that he's even purchased Premium. This is not an app that you need like your bank's app. Continued use implies you find it interesting or cool at the very least.

I have a customer who 1-starred and dissed my app in the store some time ago, now he came back with new complaints, but never uses my feedback channel which could let me discuss and gather any info I might need to understand/fix stuff.

Dutch band 'Earth and Fire', sometimes spelled as 'Earth & Fire', is listed on Apple Music as two separate artists. Some albums on one, some on the other.

An effect that was not planned when I made the player manually dismissable: you can reveal part of the record that is normally off screen. πŸ˜›

Vinyl Fetish 11.0 + iOS 26
This is the new way to display the track title prominently.

When you tap on the player you enter minimalistic mode by hiding the controls. With this option, the info panel switches the track title.
