Market Insights

  • โ€ขX (Formerly Twitter) (#1) has dominated the rankings for 83 of the last 90 days, which suggests users still heavily rely on it for real-time news despite platform changes and increased competition in the space.
  • โ€ขCrimeRadar (#2) seems to be maintaining strong positioning, likely because users consistently check for local safety alerts and crime updates in their neighborhoods throughout the day.
  • โ€ขThe big jumps by NBC News (+18) and Local News (+17) probably reflect increased interest in breaking news events, with users turning to established brands during major developing stories.
  • โ€ขNew arrivals like Snap News and Global Times indicate users are exploring more specialized news sources, though it remains to be seen whether these apps can maintain their positions long-term.
