About this app
Charts follows any app or game through the top charts of the major app and game stores, and tells you the moment something moves. BROWSE EVERY CHART See the live top charts for four stores, by country, by category, and by free, paid or grossing. Tap anything for a real page: screenshots, description, what's new, price, and for games, the trailer and the recommendation split. Apps add star ratings and the reviews people are actually leaving, pooled worldwide rather than from one storefront. TRACK WHAT MATTERS Add anything to your watchlist and Charts scans the storefronts daily. You get its best rank, every country it charts in, how far it has moved, and a history you can scrub through country by country. Group your watchlist however you think about it: your apps, your competitors, the ones you are just curious about. ALERTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY USEFUL Push when something enters a chart,…
App details
What you can learn from Charts: App Tracker
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 18 screenshots above are Charts: App Tracker's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Charts: App Tracker runs a dark set with one background colour (#141414) carried across every screenshot — the listing reads as a single poster when the shots sit side by side in search results. The accent colour we picked up, #24DC94, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
