WEEKLY DATA
What moved on the App Store: week of 6 July 2026
· 7 min read
Live events move charts harder than marketing does, and Turkey's Sports chart spent this week proving it. This is the Week of Jul 6, 2026 run. Every day we snapshot Apple's charts in the US, UK and Turkey across all 25 categories and three chart types; the moves below are measured over a seven-day window, the complaints come from each app's most recent review sample, and 212 ideas came out scored.
The biggest climbs
Chart movement is a two-point diff, so it needs two days of history and nothing else. No estimates, no modelling. These are the largest free-chart jumps in the window:

#98 → #8 · Sports · TR · free top 100

What it costs to enter a top 100
We model an entry wall for every category and storefront: roughly how many ratings an app needs before it can hold a top 100 slot. Pick a storefront below; these are the cheapest doors each one had open this run.

160 charted competitors, 7 of the top 10 grossing apps have under 5,000 ratings

Same store, same week, and the widest gap in the run is 1,973,424 ratings for Entertainment in the US against 44 for Shopping in Turkey. Picking the storefront is a bigger decision than picking the feature, and almost nobody treats it as one.
The same category is priced three different ways:
- Shopping: about 35,053 ratings in the US, about 44 in Turkey, a 797x gap.
- Sports: about 285,156 ratings in the US, about 430 in Turkey, a 663x gap.
- News: about 551,938 ratings in the US, about 1,727 in Turkey, a 320x gap.
Charting, and hated
A chart position says an app has distribution. It says nothing about whether the people inside it are happy, and the gap between those two signals is where the openings are. Counts are how many of the sampled reviewers said the same thing.

What scored highest
Every idea is scored 0–100 on demand, winnability, monetization, feasibility and momentum, with a penalty for picking a fight with a giant. The scoring engine is public, weights included, so you can disagree with a number rather than take it on faith.

What this run cost
Building in public means the bill too. This run took 7,648,787 model tokens across 25 categories, 50 agents and 8.6 hours of agent time, about 36,079 tokens per scored idea. 0% of those tokens went on retries, which is the number worth watching: it is what tells me a stage is quietly half-working.
Check it yourself
Weekly runs go to subscribers, but a complete monthly run is published free and in full: all 25 categories, all three storefronts, every score and the evidence behind it. Older monthly runs land in the archive as they age out. If you only want one number, the keyword checker is free and needs no account.
