Real-time app store rankings and insights for November 2025

Market Insights

  • โ€ขX (Formerly Twitter) (#1) continues its 31-day streak at the top, likely because users treat it as a real-time news source despite its social media roots - reviews show people follow journalists and officials directly for breaking updates.
  • โ€ขCrimeRadar (#2) and Local Weather & News - Radar (#3) suggest readers want hyperlocal, practical alerts - CrimeRadar's map-based crime reports and weather combo apps seem to resonate with safety-conscious users.
  • โ€ขNBC News (+18) and ABC News (+10) both jumped significantly this month, probably due to election coverage - their push notifications for major political developments appear to be driving engagement.
  • โ€ขNew arrivals like Snap News and Global Times (#new) indicate growing appetite for alternative news sources, though some users complain about notification overload in reviews.
