Sharp Monthly Rises (Baseline Date: 2026-09-30, 30 Days Ago)

The largest gains were Nice Weather in DE (#1, +43), Lingokids in HR (#4, +41), and IG Metall App in DE (#3, +40). Across categories, weather and room-temperature apps (Room Temperature Thermometer at #10 +35 in GB and #15 +29 in KR) and PDF apps (HR #3 +33, JP #6 +31) both showed gains.

Trends by Ranking Tier

The lower tier (ranks 31–45) had held at 80%, new at 12%, and |Δ| at 2.4, where most turnover occurred. Because developer data is missing, it is not possible to determine whether particular developers dominate the top rankings.

By contrast, android-comics had 100% top-10 held, while android-house-and-home had just 8 new entries and saw little movement.

Recommended Actions
- Prioritize coverage of Monster Hunter Outlanders, as it is moving simultaneously in the US, DE, JP, and KR—for example, a beginner’s guide or a breaking update on ranking trends by region.
- Focus Pokémon TCG Pocket coverage on its #4 position in US free. Since the grossing-side data for GB and DE comes from incomplete sources, it is safer to avoid firm conclusions and verify it with the next day’s data.
- Consider a “winter-prep apps” feature that combines Santa Prank (HR, GB, DE) with the rise of weather and room-temperature apps (DE, GB, KR, US).
- For the extensive turnover in HR video-players, including the prevalence of IPTV and video-downloader apps, wait to see whether these apps remain near the top the following day before publishing an article.
- Request a fix for missing developer data on the collection side. Once fixed, it will be possible to assess whether a small number of developers dominate the top rankings in future reports.
Data Quality Notes
The collection target covered 394 charts, of which 363 charts (13,516 rows) were collected and 31 were not. The target count excludes 236 sources that are not published, relative to the configured plan. Of the 363 charts, 340 could be compared with the previous run on 2026-10-29; rows from the 23 non-comparable charts were not counted as “new.” Six recent runs were only partially completed, with 33 collection failures. Incomplete sources (degraded) are concentrated in TOP_GROSSING and TOP_PAID. They include nearly all grossing categories in DE; major grossing/paid charts in GB, JP, KR, and the US (including android-game in GB and the US); and most grossing charts in HR. Therefore, appearances such as Saints Row: The Third (paid #3) in GB and Pokémon TCG Pocket on the grossing side may be apparent changes caused by missing collection data. developer and ratingCount are missing in 80,436 records, and rating is missing in 1,498 records. As a result, developer-level concentration could not be analyzed this time. The monthly baseline date of 2026-09-30 is 30 days ago and is the oldest collection date in the archive. A full month of data is not yet available.
