Google Play publishes an exact download counter on every app's listing, then shows you a rounded band instead — "1,000,000,000+" where the exact figure behind it is more than a billion and a half. It keeps no history of that figure, so yesterday's figure is gone the moment it changes.
Everyone building an Android app has wanted that number for a competitor at some point, and the options were to check by hand or to buy an estimate. AppCurves does the boring third thing: read the counter, write it down, and never throw a reading away.
Every change a reader would notice is listed on What changed, with the date it shipped. That is a better answer than anything this page could claim.
[email protected] — for a number that looks wrong, a missing app, a takedown request from a publisher, or anything on this site that does not match what you observe. Send the package id and the date; every reading is kept, so it can be checked.
