How many downloads does an iOS app need to get into the top charts in education?
Last Updated: 01.07.2025 03:00

Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
Audible – ~550,000
Literie – ~19,000
'Alligator Alcatraz': Florida building migrant detention centre in Everglades - BBC
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
Mountaineers Walk Off Kentucky in NCAA Opener - West Virginia University Athletics
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:
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
