App Store statistics
A doctor learns more about a patient's health by looking at that person's vital statistics. Similarly, an iPhone developer has his application's sales/trend reports to learn more about his application's health. The sales/trend reports provide you with an early detection system that you can use anytime to monitor all of your applications.
Consider a scenario where you have been getting many sales each day, but then suddenly you are not getting any sales for one of your applications in particular. That may be a sign that the application has been removed from the App Store due to a content issue. This could be an expensive oversight if you did not find out about it until you saw the much smaller royalty check that followed. Remember, royalty checks are monthly, but always for the previous month's sales. That's a long time for an issue
