None of the 26 apps holding a top-10 position reached a top-grossing category chart in the last 30 days.

How to read this

Chart read on 30 of the last 30 days.

Only the top-grossing chart counts. Top-paid charts are left out: paid-app sales are thin enough that almost any paid app reaches one. Each category chart lists the 100 highest-earning apps in that category on this store, so the bar is far higher in Games than in Medical.

RATING GROWTH

3 of 25 apps are still gaining ratings, a median of 0.07 new ratings a day. 21 gained none in the last 30 days; 1 moved only once.

WorryBox: Burn Your Anxiety	2022	481	0.07
WorryTree: Stop Overthinking	2019	11	0.07

How to read this

25 of 26 apps holding a top-10 position have rating readings spanning 14+ days.

App Store rating counts are kept per country, so these are App Store US ratings only. Google Play counts are worldwide. Compare apps within one store, never across the two. A rate is the rise in rating count over the days observed in the last 30 days; a drop of more than half is read as a counter reset and earlier readings are discarded.
