What today's App Store Free apps reveal
The MapQuest week is cooling. ChatGPT retakes 1 without a same-day product note, which is a chart mean-reversion, not a launch.
7 Brew Coffee is the only true new name. The app launched August 12; Sunday's rank is a return, matching its September 4 appearance at 6 before it fell off yesterday.
Week 1 football shows up as ESPN Fantasy at 5, not as a flood of sports clients. The rest is assistants, marketplaces, and short drama.
The as_of timestamp on this file is 2026-09-06T06:01:36, earlier than the 08:01:34 UTC stamp on most other September 6 cores. Rank motion is small: ChatGPT 2 to 1, Netflix Game Controller 4 to 2, MapQuest 1 to 4, ESPN Fantasy 6 to 5, TikTok Pro 5 to 6, PineDrama 8 to 7, Google 10 to 8, Gemini 9 to 10. Tesla Robotaxi left the 7 slot that 7 Brew Coffee now fills. The JSON carries 10 names, offset 0, and count 10.
