What the App Store paid chart shows on August 8
Event-tied paid downloads define the August 8, 2026 uniqueness marker. Wildwood: Follow the Crows at rank 2 tracks the August 7 Portland trail launch tied to LAIKA's October 23, 2026 Wildwood film and Doernbecher fundraising, while Shadowrocket still anchors rank 1 without a dated product spike.
Utility fixtures fill most of the rest of the board, but SkyView's climb to rank 7 and RadarScope's entry at rank 11 show weather and sky tools rotating as StopTheScript and Solocator exit. Across 50 API rows, treat Wildwood at rank 2, RadarScope at rank 11, Reelo's return at rank 12, and the three August 7 drop-offs as the clearest overnight signals.
