Top Free and Paid Apple TV Apps Revealed [Chart]
Posted November 2, 2015 at 4:27pm by iClarified
The Apple TV App Store isn't showing top apps yet; however, the data is already being published by Apple and has been compiled by Slide to Play to reveal top lists for paid and free apps.
The Apple TV (version 4) was launched without top app lists in the tvOS App Store. We found that the data was available, just not being shown yet. So here’s what we consider a temporary solution until the data is exposed on the device. I should point out that right now the data seems a little unreliable and even confusing in spots. Undoubtedly part of the reason the top lists haven’t been shown on the tvOS App Store. So take these rankings with at least a slight grain of salt.
As of 8:30pm Pacific on November 1, 2015 there were 1,025 total apps available in the tvOS App Store.
