Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
Literie – ~19,000
Chime Gets a Ringing Endorsement on Wall Street as IPO Valuation Hits $11.6B - PYMNTS.com
Audible – ~550,000
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
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:
