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:
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
What would have happened if Shin was a good movie instead of a bad one?
Audible – ~550,000
Literie – ~19,000
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
Oregon State leaves no doubt, outslug Florida State to reach College World Series - OregonLive.com
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
