Does anyone have a sense as to the number of app reviews in the iTunes AppStore to the number of application downloads for a particular app? I'd be curious to know what the ratios are... it seems to me that most apps get very few reviews while I'm sure the downloads are many times that.

Just curious of what people are seeing who have apps in the store.

If you add together all the reviews in all the different countries' iTunes stores (and not just the US one), mine equals roughly one review for every 100 downloads. That being said, I get far more reviews from the US store, but also far more downloads from there.

I'd say that's about right for me too. 1 out of 100.

*edit*
Looks like it's less than 1% for me. I have a new app up, 498 dowloads but 3 reviews.
