> Sensor Tower is a reputable analytics company known for reporting accurate estimates

I see SensorTower quoted a lot for mobile analytics, but their methods are completely opaque AFAIK. For all I know, one can “buy” good analytics by giving them some money, in order to promote an app.

Alternatively, nepotism could skew analytics: the CTO’s brother-in-law’s app gets higher usage and download ratings than a competitor.

How can we trust that such companies are honest?
