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

Literie – ~19,000
Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
Talent show: Mocking out the first round of the NBA Draft - Chicago Sun-Times
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:
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
Unfortunately For Some, These iPhone & iPad Models Won't Be Getting iOS 26 - SlashGear
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
I Used to Dread Taking Creatine—Then I Found These Gummies - The Daily Beast
Audible – ~550,000
