Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
Pluto's hazy skies are making the dwarf planet even colder, James Webb Space Telescope finds - Space
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
The Helldivers 2 review bomb cape is finally here, a year after PSN backlash - Polygon
Audible – ~550,000
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
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:
US oil output set for first annual drop since pandemic - Financial Times
Literie – ~19,000
