How many downloads does an iOS app need to get into the top charts in education?
Last Updated: 03.07.2025 00:06

Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
Audible – ~550,000
Quantum Time-Freeze: Lasers Lock Quantum States 1,000x Longer - SciTechDaily
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: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
Roman Anthony joining Red Sox on Monday; No. 1 prospect gets call to majors - MassLive
Literie – ~19,000
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
Why climbing the stairs can be good for your body and brain - BBC
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
