Top paid App Store apps right now: August 13, 2026

NightCap Camera climbs six slots to rank 4 on App Store Top Paid on August 13, 2026, the largest upward move inside the published 15 after the August 12 total solar eclipse and Perseid peak night (NASA/Space.com, August 12 to 13). SkyView rises to rank 8 and Solar Snap enters at rank 10 as astronomy utilities absorb post-eclipse demand. Shadowrocket still leads at rank 1 across 50 API rows (as_of 2026-08-13T06:01:42 UTC). Earthquake Network slips to rank 13 as Colombia quake alerts cool relative to the skywatching cluster.

Shadowrocket: An iOS network proxy utility on the August 13 App Store Top Paid chart. Rank 1 and unchanged from August 12. No widely reported trigger identified for August 13, 2026. Residual demand for proxy routing keeps Shadowrocket at the top of 50 API rows as of 2026-08-13T06:01:42 UTC.
HotSchedules: An iOS employee scheduling app at rank 2. Same position as August 12. No widely reported trigger identified for August 13, 2026. Hospitality shift-management demand keeps HotSchedules locked on the podium.
AnkiMobile Flashcards: An iOS spaced-repetition study app at rank 3. Same position as August 12. Back-to-school study demand may support the app as the 2026-27 academic year opens. No widely reported trigger identified for August 13, 2026.
NightCap Camera: An iOS low-light and night-sky photography app at rank 4, up from rank 10 on August 12. The six-slot climb is the biggest published move and aligns with post-eclipse and Perseid peak photography demand after the August 12 totality path (NASA, August 12). No separate NightCap product news note was widely reported for August 13.
Wildwood: Follow the Crows: An iOS trail companion for Portland's Wildwood crow sculpture art walk at rank 5, down from rank 4 on August 12. The free public trail launched August 7 with LAIKA and Wild in Art; residual scavenger-hunt downloads keep the paid companion inside the top 5 (OregonLive, August 7 to 8).
TonalEnergy Tuner & Metronome: An iOS music practice utility at rank 6, up from rank 8 on August 12. No widely reported trigger identified for August 13, 2026.
Procreate Pocket: An iOS illustration app at rank 7, down from rank 6 on August 12. No widely reported trigger identified for August 13, 2026.
SkyView®: An iOS stargazing app at rank 8, up from rank 12 on August 12. The four-slot climb tracks residual astronomy interest after the August 12 total solar eclipse, Europe's first mainland totality since 1999 (NASA/NYT, August 12 to 13).
Antizuck Smart Glasses Scanner: An iOS Bluetooth scanner that alerts users when nearby smart glasses broadcast signals at rank 9, down from rank 5 on August 12. The $3 app climbed earlier in August amid privacy concerns about Meta Ray-Bans and similar eyewear (9to5Mac, July 31; Gizmodo, August 5). No fresh August 13 trigger beyond continued chart presence.
Solar Snap: An iOS solar and eclipse photography utility at rank 10, new to the published cut versus August 12. No widely reported product launch note identified for August 13, 2026; the debut aligns with post-eclipse download demand after the August 12 totality.
RadarScope: An iOS professional weather radar app at rank 11, down from rank 9 on August 12. No widely reported trigger identified for August 13, 2026 beyond continued late-summer weather monitoring demand.
PhotoPills: An iOS photography planning app for sun, moon, and Milky Way shots at rank 12, new to the published cut versus August 12. No widely reported trigger identified for August 13, 2026 beyond the same post-eclipse astronomy cluster lifting SkyView, Solar Snap, and NightCap.
Earthquake Network: An iOS crowdsourced earthquake early-warning app at rank 13, down from rank 7 on August 12. Colombia's August 10 magnitude 7.4 quake, with an official death toll near 265 by August 13, still supports residual seismic-app demand even as astronomy titles take the bigger rank gains (CBS, August 13).
Paprika Recipe Manager 3: An iOS recipe and meal-planning app at rank 14, down from rank 11 on August 12. No widely reported trigger identified for August 13, 2026.
Monash FODMAP Diet: An iOS diet-tracking app from Monash University at rank 15, down from rank 13 on August 12. No widely reported trigger identified for August 13, 2026. Monash absorbs the published edge after My Earthquake Alerts Pro and PeakFinder exit.

What App Store paid trends show on August 13

Astronomy demand replaced quake alerts as the clearest August 13 theme. NightCap at rank 4, SkyView at rank 8, Solar Snap at rank 10, and PhotoPills at rank 12 form a four-app skywatching cluster one day after the August 12 total solar eclipse and Perseid peak (NASA/Space.com, August 12 to 13).

Shadowrocket at rank 1 and HotSchedules at rank 2 remain recurring chart fixtures with no fresh August 13 trigger. Earthquake Network still sits inside the published cut at rank 13 on Colombia residual demand, but it no longer leads the event-driven story the way it did on August 12 at rank 7.
