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

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:

Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000

Audible – ~550,000

‘Materialists’ Director Celine Song on Exploring the ‘Brutal’ Aspects of Modern Dating and Seeing Movie Stars as More Than ‘Merchandise’ - Variety

Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.

📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)

Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000

Nintendo Releases First Look At Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Running At 60 FPS On Switch 2 - Game Informer

NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900

📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)

GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000

Is it just me, or is it hard to find novels that are different compared to each other without the variety of them having to be a mystery/crime, and romance/fantasy?

Literie – ~19,000
