App Store top charts by country, in practice
The App Store app shows you the top charts for your own country and category, 25 at a time. Apple's classic RSS feed still returns 100, for every storefront, and that is what aso.best snapshots once a day for 22 storefronts, three collections and every category for the largest stores. A chart page is a plain list you can read in ten seconds: rank, icon, name, developer, rating, and how far the app moved since yesterday.
Movement is the part that a screenshot of the store cannot give you. Because yesterday's snapshot is kept, every row shows its change, and the side of the page lists the apps that climbed most, fell most and dropped out of the 100 altogether. Across all charts and stores, the share of rows that moved ten places or more is also the basis of the algorithm-changes reading, so a day when every chart shakes is visible as one number.
Charts are also the front door to the app pages. Every row links to a page with the app's rating, its ratings in each of the 22 storefronts, its position in every chart we hold today, screenshots, what's new, the keywords anyone has read for it, the apps that rank beside it, and a visibility score with a public audit. No downloads or revenue: Apple does not publish them and we do not estimate.
