AppViz (http://www.ideaswarm.com/products/appviz/) and AppSales Mobile 
(https://github.com/omz/AppSales-Mobile - disclaimer: I'm a developer for it) 
do exactly what I tell them., actually.  However, garbage in/garbage out; the 
sales report posted earlier today was factually incorrect until it was revised, 
with America and Europe region sales far underreported.

I agree that Apple's take on "sales reporting" is a useless abomination.

Cheers,
Evan
