How the topics are decided
Every topic is a short list of words. An app joins a topic when its name or the start of its US App Store description uses those words often enough, and an app can be in up to three topics. No AI model decides this, so every placement can be explained.
The numbers describe the apps in our directory that we have read so far, not the whole App Store. “One-app developer” means the developer has a single app in our directory.
Free: costs nothing and mentions no paid features. Free with purchases: free to download but mentions subscriptions, premium or unlocks. Paid: costs money to download.
