How many downloads does an iOS app need to get into the top charts in education?
Last Updated: 27.06.2025 02:34

Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
‘Stick’: Apple’s Golf Comedy Scores on the Charms of Owen Wilson - Rolling Stone
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
It really depends on the country and category - numbers vary a lot. For example, in the Books category, here’s how the top chart apps rank by monthly installs in each country:
Audible – ~550,000
How is sex with a woman for gay men?
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
Literie – ~19,000
