What the App Store paid chart shows on August 5
Utility fixtures still define the August 5, 2026 board: Shadowrocket, HotSchedules, AnkiMobile, and Procreate Pocket hold ranks 1 through 4 exactly as on August 4. The clearest churn signals are SkyView's six-place climb to rank 8 and Moment Pro Camera II's eight-place slide to rank 15, a stargazing-versus-photography swap inside the published cut.
QuickBend entering at rank 13 while RadarScope exits to rank 27 shows trade-tool and weather-radar paid demand can diverge even during active wildfire news cycles. Across 50 API rows, treat the frozen top 4 plus SkyView and Moment Pro movement as the August 5 uniqueness markers rather than a full paid-chart reset.
