How to Use Top Charts?

The report is simple and concise, getting right to the point as soon as you’re there. 

 

Report Parameters

First thing’s first: do you want to analyze charts in the iOS App Store or the Android’s Google Play Store? You’ll see the option directly above the chart to the left. 

 

In the upper right corner of the report, you can adjust the day and select the country of analysis. 

 

Just below that, you can select where you want to analyze the top free, top paid, or top grossing apps. You can also filter down to the app category. If you’re analyzing the iOS App Store, you can also select whether you want to see the top apps across iPhones or iPads. 

Directly above the list of apps is the search bar, which you can use to immediately see if an app is in the chart.
