Just checked this recently using Asolytics โ some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
๐ United States (monthly installs in the US)
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks โ ~17,000
Literie โ ~19,000
GoodNovel โ Booktok, Stories โ ~38,000
Audible: Audio Entertainment โ ~56,000
NASA robot for drilling on icy moons tested on Alaskan glacier - Ars Technica
Audible โ ~550,000
๐ Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
It really depends on the country and category - numbers vary a lot. For example, in the Books category, hereโs how the top chart apps rank by monthly installs in each country:
Dollar Tree raises red flag about unexpected customer behavior - TheStreet
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels โ ~3,900
