How many downloads does an iOS app need to get into the top charts in education?

Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
Literie – ~19,000
14,000-year-old mummified ‘puppies’ weren’t dogs at all, new research shows - CNN
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
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:
They Were 8,000-Pound Sloths With Claws and Armor – Then Humans Showed Up - SciTechDaily
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
