Chart types
Charts reproduce observed Apple App Store ordering for a country, category and chart type.

- Top Grossing: Apple's published grossing order; no exact revenue is implied.
- New Apps: recently observed releases in supported feeds.
- Category charts: storefront ordering within an Apple category.
Ranking movement
Change compares compatible stored snapshots. A gain or loss describes position movement between observations, not a direct change in installs or revenue.
- New entrant means the app was absent from the comparison snapshot.
- Exit means it is no longer present in the observed depth.
- Volatility aggregates movement and churn across groups.
Data statuses
Results identify how their underlying data was produced. Always read the source and update time before making a decision.
- Live: returned by the source during the current request.
- Observed: public source data stored with an observation time.
- Cached: a previous source response shown when live collection is limited.
- Estimated: a modeled score or range, not private Apple-reported performance.
- Exact: authorized first-party data only.
- Beta: provider-dependent coverage that may be incomplete.
Limitations
Apple can update charts between collection times. Availability, chart depth and categories vary by storefront. Always cite the displayed snapshot timestamp.
- Do not convert rank directly into downloads or revenue.
- Do not compare different countries as though their market sizes are equal.
- Stale or unavailable chart pages are excluded from indexable discovery.
