Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
Teens like me, what are your expectations when entering adulthood?
Literie – ~19,000
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
See ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Season 3 Episode Titles And New Posters - TrekMovie.com
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
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:
Simulations find ghostly whirls of dark matter trailing galaxy arms - Ars Technica
Audible – ~550,000
