How many downloads does an iOS app need to get into the top charts in education?

Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
White House Aims To Halt NASA Missions Across The Solar System - Forbes
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
Audible – ~550,000
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
Your Apple Watch Is About to Get a Pretty Cool New Ability - Yahoo
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:
Literie – ~19,000
WWDC 2025: iOS 26 Rumored Features - MacRumors
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
