Theme Widgets: Icons & Themes (android-personalization/free), which was absent on 2026-10-26, appeared simultaneously in all 6 markets today (HR #1, DE #4, JP #4, GB #5, US #13, KR #14). This is today’s strongest signal of a new trend.

New Entrants

Today’s main story is simultaneous entries across multiple markets. Theme Widgets: Icons & Themes entered android-personalization/free in 6 markets at once (HR #1, DE #4, JP #4, GB #5, US #13, KR #14). توليد رقم المسابقات also entered android-events/free in 5 markets (HR #2, DE #3, GB #5, JP #5, US #8).

Simultaneous entries by sports and live-match streaming apps also stand out: Sir TV (HR #22, US #24, DE #26), Yalla Shoot (DE #23, US #38), beIN CONNECT (MENA) (DE #28, HR #30), and LALIGA Official App 2026/27 (HR #26, US #35). Most, however, entered below rank 20.

In individual markets, AirPlay - Cast Tv (US android-libraries-and-demo grossing #2) and Tarova (KR personalization grossing #3) debuted at high ranks.

Sharp Monthly Gains (Baseline: 2026-09-27)

The baseline is 30 days ago, the oldest collection date available in the archive.

• Games: Wuthering Waves rose in 2 markets: JP grossing #2 (+38) and KR grossing #10 (+28).
• Shopping: C&A (DE #2, +38), GALERIA (DE #7, +37), GoWish (US #6, +39), Koupon (US #5, +32), and Action (HR #3, +31) gained ground.
• US GPS tracking apps: GPS Location Tracker Plus reached #1 (+34), while two similar apps also entered at #7 and #10.

Trends by Rank Tier

Tier	held	new	Average movement
Top (1–10)	91%	1%	1
Middle (11–30)	86%	1%	2.7
Lower (31–45)	71%	17%	3.5

The top ranks are nearly fixed, while turnover is concentrated in the lower ranks. Because developer information is missing, it is not possible to determine whether a small number of developers dominate the top positions.

Trends by Country

The US had the most new entrants, with 158 across 77 comparable charts. GB had the lowest top-10 held rate at 89%, with Dabble rising to #9 (+26).

Among shared hits, X is #1 in android-news-and-magazines/free across all 6 markets. Duolingo (#1 in 5 markets) and Meowdoku (#1 in 5 markets, #7 in KR) also rank highly in multiple markets.

Trends by Category

• High turnover: New entrants were highest in android-game (44), android-tools (40), and android-sports (32).
• Movement in the top 10: android-business and android-events were both low at 84%, while android-personalization was 85%.
• Stable: android-news-and-magazines stood at 96%, while android-comics had only 6 new entrants.
• PDF and document readers: These are rising in multiple markets, including DE (PDF Kit #10, +16) and KR (HWP & PDF Reader, a new entry at #5).

Key Findings

1. Theme Widgets: Icons & Themes entered android-personalization/free simultaneously in 6 markets

It was absent on 2026-10-26, then entered today at HR #1, DE #4, JP #4, GB #5, US #13, and KR #14. It entered all 6 target markets on the same day, making this a stronger trend signal than an entry in a single chart. Demand for icon and theme apps may be rising across markets at the same time.

Confidence: High

2. توليد رقم المسابقات entered android-events/free simultaneously in 5 markets

It entered at HR #2, DE #3, GB #5, JP #5, and US #8. android-events has a top-10 held rate of 84%, the lowest level of any category. This app’s entry is one factor behind that turnover.

Confidence: High

3. Soccer and live-match streaming apps entered multiple markets simultaneously

Sir TV (HR #22, US #24, DE #26), Yalla Shoot (DE #23, US #38), beIN CONNECT (MENA) (DE #28, HR #30), and LALIGA Official App 2026/27 (HR #26, US #35) all entered on the same day. android-sports had 32 new entrants, the third-highest total by category. However, all ranked in the 20s or lower.

Confidence: Medium

4. Wuthering Waves posted large monthly gains in JP and KR grossing charts

Compared with the 2026-09-27 baseline, it reached JP android-game grossing #2 (+38) and KR grossing #10 (+28). However, android-game/TOP_GROSSING in both JP and KR is included among degraded sources, so confidence is rated medium.

Confidence: Medium

5. Shopping apps saw sharp monthly gains in DE, US, and HR

C&A Fashion Online Shop reached DE #2 (+38), GALERIA DE #7 (+37), GoWish US #6 (+39), Koupon US #5 (+32), and Action HR #3 (+31). They all rose across android-shopping charts in multiple markets.

Confidence: High

6. GPS tracking apps dominate US maps-and-navigation rankings

GPS Location Tracker Plus is #1 (+34), GPS Tracker & Location Tracker is #7 (+36), and GPS Location Tracker Ultra is #10 (+31). Three apps in the same category rose together.

Confidence: High

7. Multiple apps absent from the baseline date are now #1 in JP

These include ONE PIECE: Grand Gourmet (JP game paid #1), Muse from Meta (JP productivity free #1), MUJI app (JP lifestyle free #1), and R-navi (JP sports free #1). None were present on 2026-09-27, and all are now at the top.

Confidence: High

8. The top ranks are fixed, with turnover concentrated in positions 31–45

The top tier (ranks 1–10) has 91% held, 1% new, and average movement of 1. The middle tier has 86% held and average movement of 2.7. The lower tier has 71% held, 17% new, and average movement of 3.5. New faces appear first in the lower ranks. Because developer information is missing, concentration among the developers occupying top positions cannot be assessed.

Confidence: High

9. The US has the most new entrants, while GB has the greatest top-10 turnover

Of 78 US charts, 77 are comparable, with 158 new entrants—the highest total. GB has the lowest top-10 held rate among the 6 markets, at 89%, and Dabble:Sports Betting & Casino rose to #9 (+26). JP has the fewest comparable charts, at 42.

Confidence: High

10. Established apps remain #1 across all markets

X is #1 in android-news-and-magazines/free across all 6 markets. Duolingo is #1 in 5 markets (HR #4), while Canva and WhatsApp (communication) are #1 in 4 markets. Established apps hold the top spots in every market.

Confidence: High

11. AI generation apps rose together in HR art-and-design

Compared with the previous report, AI Home Design is #4 (+36), Tattoo Design is #6 (+35), and MePic is #8 (+19). New entrants also include AI Video : Generator & Maker (#17) and Lumy (#18). android-art-and-design has a top-10 held rate of 88%.

Confidence: Medium

12. PDF and document readers are moving simultaneously in DE, KR, and JP

In DE, PDF Kit is #10 (+16), PDF Master is #17 (+17), and PDF Reader & PDF Viewer is #22 (+17). In KR, HWP & PDF Reader entered at #5 and All Document Reader entered at #17. In JP, PDF Reader App rose to #27 (+17).

Confidence: Medium

13. Game and tools have high turnover, while news and comics remain quiet

New entrants totaled 44 for android-game and 40 for android-tools. Top-10 held rates were relatively low for android-business (84%), android-personalization (85%), and android-game (86%). In contrast, android-news-and-magazines had a top-10 held rate of 96%, while android-comics had the fewest new entrants at 6.

Confidence: High

Recommended Actions

• Feature Theme Widgets: Icons & Themes’ simultaneous entry in 6 markets as today’s main story, and track whether it maintains its position tomorrow in each market (especially HR #1 and DE/JP #4).
• Bundle the simultaneous entries of soccer streaming apps (Sir TV, Yalla Shoot, beIN CONNECT (MENA), and LALIGA) into one story. However, because they rank below the 20s, confirm whether the trend continues for several days before promoting it.
• In JP, introduce ONE PIECE: Grand Gourmet (paid #1), Muse from Meta (productivity #1), and MUJI app (lifestyle #1) as “new #1 apps that emerged in the last 30 days.”
• Investigate the three US GPS tracking apps (#1, #7, and #10), along with the monthly rise of shopping apps in DE and the US, including seasonal factors.
• Reconfirm Wuthering Waves’ grossing rise once normal data collection resumes, as JP and KR charts are degraded, before publishing an article on it.
• Ask the data team to resolve missing developer data. Once fixed, it will be possible to determine whether a small number of developers dominate the top ranks.

Data Quality Notes

Of 392 charts scheduled for collection, 356 charts / 13,194 rows were collected and 36 were not collected (238 charts that the source does not publish were already excluded from the schedule). Meanwhile, the data quality field says “33 fetches failed,” which does not match the 36 uncollected charts. Both figures are recorded as they appear in the raw data. In addition, 6 recent runs were only partially completed.

Of the 356 charts, 327 could be compared with 2026-10-26. Day-over-day gains and new entrants were not determined for the remaining charts.

The monthly baseline of 2026-09-27 is the oldest collection date in the archive, 30 days ago. There is not yet a full month of history.

There are many degraded sources. These include most DE TOP_GROSSING charts, game grossing/paid charts in GB, JP, and KR, and most HR TOP_GROSSING charts; Wuthering Waves’ JP and KR grossing results are also included. Conclusions about grossing charts should therefore be treated cautiously.

developer is missing for 80,061 records, ratingCount for 80,061, and rating for 1,474. As a result, it is not possible to determine whether a small number of developers dominate the top ranks.
