📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)

📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)

Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000

Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.

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:
Literie – ~19,000
Audible – ~550,000
