How many downloads does an iOS app need to get into the top charts in education?
Last Updated: 27.06.2025 14:25
Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
An AIDS orphan, a pastor and his frantic search for the meds that keep her alive - NPR
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
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: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
NASA Mars Orbiter Captures Volcano Peeking Above Morning Cloud Tops - NASA (.gov)
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
Literie – ~19,000
Audible – ~550,000
Solar Orbiter gets world-first views of the Sun’s poles - European Space Agency
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
