Top iOS Magazines & Newspapers Apps

Market Insights

• •The New York Times app (#1) has been the clear leader, holding the top spot for 101 days, which suggests its subscription model and comprehensive coverage continue to resonate with users who want a primary news source.
• •Ground News (#3) seems to be gaining traction, likely because its side-by-side comparison of news sources appeals to users seeking more perspective on current events, a trend noted in several app store reviews.
• •AstraNovel's jump of 30 spots is one of the biggest moves, and it looks like the appetite for serialized fiction and interactive stories is still growing, possibly pulling readers from traditional magazine formats.
• •The arrival of The San Francisco Chronicle and Snopes in the rankings indicates a user interest in regional reporting and fact-checking, though whether they can challenge the established national players remains to be seen.
